Julius “Gmza” Khoza from the streets of East Rand, eVutta (Daveyton), genuine Dj and possibly your future favourite as he would describe himself. Born 15 March 1988 GMZA says he’s greatest inspiration are he’s parents Emily (Mom) and Lucas (Dad). He studied at Inkatha Ka Zulu Primary School and matriculated at Lesiba Secondary School, he then went to study Journalism and Media Studies at Demelin Benoni city campus.
His love for music was heavily influenced by his father who used to collect cassettes and records of reggae and R&B. He says he got exposed to house music when he was still in primary school through one of his schoolmates and friend Jabulani Mashigo whose parents use to buy Dj Fresh albums for. “I remember very well it was 2002 when Dj fresh released FRESH HOUSE FLAVA 5.” His love for house music grew very fast since he listened to radio stations that played a lot of house music, when legends like the late Fana Khaba (Khabzela) where still hot on radio.
In 2012 he started his mixtape series called “Local Connection” which became a great success and gave him good exposure which eventually led him to getting bookings in clubs and parties around the world, sharing stages with big names like Black Coffee, Vinny Da Vinci, Lulo Café, Prince KB, 2lani The Warrior, Cubique DJ, Roque, Zulu Mafia...etc.

Soulistque Fusion whose real name is Mzwandile Mthimkhulu who hails from a small town in the East Rand which is known as Wattville found in Benoni , was born and raised there and has been living there for most of his life, at age 25 years in present time, He matriculated in the year 2007 in a formidable school known as Etwatwa High School.
My passion for music or the love of being a DJ started long before I knew that this was what I actually want to do because of the collection of music that I had growing up ,recording songs from the radio, collecting vinyl’s. But my first encounter with Disc Jockeying started in the year 2005 December time while chilling at a friend’s place listening to the DJ that was hired to play at the party.
I was drawn in by how he mixed and made the crowd dance to the kind of music that he was playing, and there and then it hit me that this was something I could actually become. After some few practice sessions with the guys it was definitely a done deal that this was my actual calling.
