Born Bongani Zakuza on the 7th of January 1980 in Port Shepstone, Dj 101 is one of Mzansi’s most talented dj/producer’s. His music career began back when he was still in high school around 1997 like any other boy from ekasi singing kwaito and also co-ordinating minor events such as, beauty contests, talent shows of different nature and more. Sadly the kwaito career did not last after high school despite the huge support/fan base that he had.
Dj 101’s love for music grew stronger as he organized more and better events around Gamalakhe/Port Shepstone and finally decided to became a DJ, it was more like a calling or his destiny for that matter.

Using sounds within nature and our environment and the manipulation thereafter. Gaining inspiration in molding the approach to production and composition. Exploring sounds of the world and the reinterpretation thereof is paramount.
