“I'm not a man of many words but something just says say a few things.”

These are the words of Sfiso Mjoli, fondly known as DJ Fisherman, after making his anticipated return in the music scene with his latest project, Chapter X.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, DJ Fisherman said he needed all the people who supported him at the beginning of his journey to rally behind him now.

Angikwaz ukushaya ama challenge omdanso [I don't know how to make dance challenges] or have much resources to reach out to the world. My Facebook was hacked also and my socials are rather dead because angiyena umuntu [I'm not the person] who posts anything. So ngithembe nina [I put my trust in you] to get this music out there,” he said.

DJ Fisherman said he took a break from the music industry because the challenges he faced hurt him and made him hate making music.

“I know sibaningi [a lot] of artists, DJs, producers and many other creatives who have experienced pain like this, whether it’s financial or even internet bullying or other forms of betrayal. I’m here to say, 'You can still start over again'. Here I am, doing just that — starting over. I'm sharing this with you because I want you to know there’s life after setbacks (of any kind). Don’t give in to depression and feeling sorry for yourself.”

He said he's been out the game for almost 10 years, so he's in the process of unlearning and adapting to the new way of doing things.

“Entertainment ne life as a whole has changed. So thanks to everyone who has walked with me through this journey and most importantly worked on this project with me, if feels good uku pressa pressa [press] after so many years.”
