PUSELETSO IS A TOTALLY FIERCE RULLING DIVA OF THE UNDERGROUND
Written by Valencia Legodi
Matefello Puseletso Ramokhoase popularly known as Ms P is
an Olievenhoutbosch disc jockey and entrepreneur born (October
1, 1988) and bred in Soshanguve. She is a loving, bubbly, fun and intelligent
young female DJ that was raised in a strict family; her father had enough money
to fund her education, but refused to pay for any course that is entertainment
related.
“I grew up being the center of attention at home, most of
the time when there was an event or celebration at home; I would play a song
and dance to it. They even gave me a nick name seboko which means worm and in school I participated in all activities
(netball, drama and dance), as I grew older my love for music developed and it
led to me being a DJ full time”.
Growing up Puseletso wanted to be an engineer until she
realized that she was not good with numbers. In 2013 she enrolled at Foreal
Academy; a well-known school of DJs in Pretoria. She did a 3 months course
where she was taught all basics of being a Disc Jockey, how to select songs, sequence,
mix songs of the same BPM, tell a story through music, how to read the crowd’s
mood and body language through selection of songs.
When asked about who inspired her career, she said that
all women who work hard to make it in the entertainment industry inspire her and that pin pointing individuals
by names will not do as the list is endless. She added that throughout her
deejaying career, she has been her own greatest inspiration as she kept going
regardless of her failures, losses and mistakes.
Challenges she faced when she started was getting gigs
and being paid for them, currently her challenges are getting gigs and getting
event promoters and club owners to accept the price she charges to play at an
event. Another challenge is the technology that changes daily, adapting and
keeping up is difficult because in the entertainment industry one has to
quickly move past the old technology to the new as it changes.
The 32 year old is currently working on a project called
“Power rangers of house” with the assistance of two ladies, the aim of the
project is to promote and network through the available platforms. One thing
she would like to do for the community is to bring young entrepreneurs together
and give them an opportunity to exchange knowledge, learn everything that has
to do with business and help each other build successful businesses.
In five years’ time she aspires to own a well-established
ice cube manufacturing warehouse and be a top headliner, most influential and
entertaining DJ across the globe. “If you want to make it in the entertainment
industry do not pursue it for the fame, you must be passionate with what you do
and be willing to sacrifice a lot to make your dream a reality.do not be a copy
of what is already there, show up with your unique skills and dominate. Lastly
entertainment industry is not for the faint hearted, therefore you must be
strong, have a backbone, be humble, be focused, respect others, be confident
and stay true to yourself” she concluded.
