The 90s golden era. That's where Master Sizwe's passion for music was born.
The DJ, whose real name is Quinton Sizwe Twala, hails from Daveyton. He started DJing with cassette tapes and using innovative ways to keep the music going without any pauses between songs.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Master Sizwe said he loves the fusion of playing classics, “way-back tracks”, kwaito and bubblegum music.
“Music introduced me to a friend, Chris Moseneke. At the time he was a resident DJ at Club Gemini in Pretoria, where I cemented the love and opened up the world of vinyl and expanded my collection and fan base,” he said.
In recent years, Master Sizwe ventured into teaching and sharing skills. He had a school where he taught aspiring DJs how to play and create sets.
“I've had big moments but my biggest highlight was playing at Channel O, promoting the late Kyllex Faku's album. This was really was a dream come true as I've never looked back ever since, as I do my best to raise the bar through my DJing skills.
“Music is a universal language — no matter what's happening in our lives, we all get solace from music.”
