“you can heal a thousand souls with
the sound of expensive music”
Sho!Mag: Vibe, who is Vibe and
where are you based?
Vibes: I am a music producer from
the Eastern Cape in South Africa,
my real name is Sihle Licamagu
Fani and I am currently based in
Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
Sho!Mag: In the South African
Music Scene, what part are you
actually playing?
Vibes: At the moment not much as I
am currently building a fanbase and
building the brand “VIBES”, so folks
need to watch this space as I am
about to blow them away.
Sho!Mag: So what do you prefer
the most? Is it deejaying or music
production?
Vibes: I could
I love to keep
happy and
dancing.

say both,
people
I enjoy the reaction I get from the
crowd, but production is also very
close to my heart, you can heal a
thousand souls with the sound of
expensive music.
Sho!Mag: Vibe, when did you
notice that you had love for House
Music and what sparked that love
for House Music? “Do you have
any musical influences”?
Vibes: Music has forever been a
part of me, I fell inlove with music
in 2005, a year later I started learn-
ing how to dj. I used to dj for small
crowds and at local partises. I then
started deejaying in clubs around
Queenstown and then later around
Port Elzabeth.
Music production came in the scen
for me later, as I started production
in 2011 but would usually not re-
lease my projects due to mastering
issues.
My biggest influences are my
causins Alungile “the tiny Dj
Maliwa” and Aluta Massive
Mbadlanyana. They made me fall
inlove with music and I will forever
be greatful, funy enough Alungile is
the very same personwho gave me
the name Vibes.
