DJ Sumbody is remembered as a hard-working, ambitious man who always made things happen.

Here are three unforgettable quotes/moments from the DJ:

His interview on The Braai Show with Cassper Nyovest

“The one thing that I realised is that you can never buy personality ... I'm not DJ Sumbody without my fans.”

DJ Sumbody's interview on Afternoon Express  

“I'm just too ambitious ... and I don't believe in failing. I've always wanted to leave a legacy behind which I feel I'm pushing towards - that and job creation.”

DJ Sumbody's interview on V Entertainment 

“Growing up is tough, at the same time I've just been a hustler. I could say I've been an entrepreneur all my life. I love money ... I started being a DJ while I was a taxi driver, driving my dad's taxis just to collect records ... because they were a bit expensive. I used the resources next to me.”
