Q:When did the career of being
a Dj begin?
A:My Djing career started in 2009.

Q:Apart from being a Dj, you
started your own modeling
agency. Was it something you
were passionate about or you
saw a gap in the modeling?
A:It was actually a bit of both, I was driven
by passion and I also saw a business gap

Q:Your modeling agency has
grown, and you have models
nationwide. How did you
manage to get to that level?
A:From day one I never wanted to find
myself being in my comfort zone, I always
want to see growth in what I do.

Q:BellaDoisa modeling agency
was nominated for the SEAs
awards, which is held annually in
the United States of America.
And you were nominated for the
Model Agency of the Year
category, how was the
experience? And did you win the
award? And what did it mean to
you?
A:It was a very incredible experience,
especially because my modeling agency was
the first modeling coming from South Africa
and the first coming from the continent of
Africa to get nominated at these awards. The
agency didn't win the award but it motivated
me even more to see my modeling agency
being recognized in the world dominating
country like the United States of America.

Q:You are multitasking, you not
only a DJ, model agent but you
manage artists and celebrities,
organizing events etc. how do
you balance this with your
personal life?
A:To be honest is not easy to find the
balance but thanks to my woman who is very
supportive and so understanding, I manage to
find balance.

Q:There are challenges in the
industry you are in, how do you
keep your head up high and solve
them?
A:I always try not to stress with things I
cannot control like being criticized and hated
by some of my competitors and above all, I
put God first in everything I do.

Q:Who do you look up to and
motivates
you?

A:I was raised by a single mother who is
very strong so I look up to her when it
comes to how she always handles her
challenges and again my woman
(Girlfriend) motivates me a lot. She has
a way of bringing me back to focus
when I'm feeling down.

Q:You are in the process of
starting your own online TV
channel, what inspired you to
start it?
A:At the college I studied IT so even
though I went for a career in the
entertainment industry I always knew
that one day I will use my IT skills in the
process of being successful.

Q:Do you consider
yourself successful or
you are still in the
process?
A:I think I have a long way
to go so I consider myself
still in the process of
being successful.

Q:What
motivational
message can you
give to the youth
of our country?
A:Like I always say
everywhere I go, never
stop believing in your
dreams no matter how
hard it gets and lastly,
ambition is priceless.
