We chat to DJ Zinhle about the impact Covid-19 has had on work, new music and what to expect from this year's Joburg Day.
How has Covid-19 affected your ability to perform and earn a living?
Well, I'm a DJ first, so not being able to attend events or shows was quite hard for me, but my team and I have been able to identify other opportunities and grow our other ventures which are nice.
On the flip side, we have all had more time to think. Have you used the time to write more music?
Though I still can't promise any release dates or finished projects, I will say that I'm always working on something. We'll have to wait and see. Wink, wink!
Have you been able to work at all?
Luckily for me, I've invested my time and energy in a few businesses over the years to ensure that I secure multiple streams of income and I am so glad I did that.
What can Joburg fans expect from you on Huawei Joburg Day?
I've compiled a set with most of my own songs, so if anything, I think they can expect to travel through my musical journey with me. It's been a while.
What do you love about this event?
The energy is nice. As a DJ, feeding off a crowd or energy is key, and Joburg Day never disappoints.
