DJ Mzoe has been spinning tracks across Bulawayo for 23 years and just scored another nomination at the Bulawayo Arts Awards for Outstanding Club DJ. The guy already won back in 2021 and says the recognition keeps him motivated to level up his craft.
During the pandemic, when everything shut down, he started Twist Sessions to keep local DJs visible and relevant while clubs were dead. He also runs Fudu Media, which does filming and event production, plus he launched the Fudu Festival in 2023 to spotlight emerging DJ talent in the city.
His secret to staying in the game this long comes down to adapting with the times and having a signature mixing style people can recognize immediately. He thinks other DJs need to get creative and collaborate more with artists outside their area if they want to stay relevant in the crowded scene.
