Meet the talented DJ KSB
As well as being one of the most talented disc jockeys in the business, DJ KSB is equally adept at recording hits of his own.
The 29-year-old muso is the resident DJ on BTV’S popular Friday night music show, Flava Dome, and has established himself as an integral part of the programme.
For those who don’t know you, how would you introduce yourself?
Well I would say, “Hi, I am Kealeboga Sedumedi, an entrepreneur, deejay and music producer known by the stage name ‘DJ KSB’”. My breakthrough in the music industry and business was scooping a residency as a Gabz FM radio DJ in 2015. I later moved to RB2 and BTV’S Flava Dome as a Co-resident DJ.
As well as playing other artists’ music, you are also quite the singer yourself?
Yes, I have a big song titled ‘Phendula’ which means ‘answer/reply’. The song is currently waving my name high in the SADC region from all the top TV and radio stations and recently got nominated for Best Amapiano category on the Yarona FM Music Awards. Following ‘Phendula’, I dropped a new song titled ‘Umuntu’ on May 24. The single features Juizee and DJ Kap and is also receiving positive feedback.
Anything else fresh we can expect from you?
Yes! New music drops first week of October. I am also pushing my Mark Media Entertainment company and Kota Junxion shop to a bigger scale/market.
How have you used social media to advance your career in these Covid-19 times?
I had a few streaming shows via Instagram and Facebook and, surprisingly, it boosted my song ‘Phendula’, which then received a lot feedback and started trending on Tiktok and later SADC radio stations approved.
Speaking of social media, have you ever been a victim of online bullying?
I have never been bullied but I have seen people close to me get bullied and it is not a good sight.
If you were elected President for one day, what’s the first thing you would do?
I would work on positioning the country’s economy and making sure the creative industry and business get the right recognition.
