He's the man behind the biggest hits on Mzansi's dance floors and recently, Deep London walked away the winner of two awards at the Metro FM Awards.

The ceremony took place at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.

The 29-year-old, born and bred in East London, is known for hit songs Hamba Wena, Piano Ngijabulise and Greatest Thing in Life, among others. 

He has collaborated with  musicians and artists including Boohle, Murumba Pitch and Nkosazana Daughter.

Deep London, real name Lita Kupela, told TshisaLIVE he was grateful and humbled by the support he has received from his fans and family. 

“When my songs play on high rotation it means so much to me and it means my music is quality. It meets the requirements.”

He recently released a single Ithuba with Nkosazana Daughter.

“The song is about love. It’s between two people who are in love, but because of the distance they had to separate and they end up reuniting. The lady gives a guy a second chance.”

Deep London received awards for Best Amapiano Song and Best Viral Challenge for Hamba Wena, featuring amapiano singer Boohle.

“The big break came after I released Hamba wena with Boohle. It made me realise hard work and dedication pays off. It’s an honour to be recognised for something I am passionate about.

“I sent her emails with beats, then she came to the studio. It was my dream to feature her, she’s one of the dopest vocalists. I knew someone who knows her manager.”

The music DJ, who's also a producer, has not released his own music yet and he told TshisaLIVE it's in the pipeline, naming the biggest names in the dance music genre as people he has featured on the upcoming album.

“Towards the end of June I want to drop an album. It’s going to be a dope album. I worked with talented vocalists, Cnethemba Gonela, Soulful G, Murumba Pitch, to name a few.”
