DJ Shimza talks about the world of music and its secrets and hopes to show them all

African Woman hitmaker DJ Shimza sang the praises of young SA artists for venturing into the planet of business and being quite just their music.

With our fave musicians finding better ways to attach with SA than simply their discography, the sport has changed, and fans are really living for it!

Era by DJ Zinhle’s sunglasses, AKA’s latest merch, `J-Something’s restaurant and cookbook: These artists and a number of other others of the 21st century will go down in history for being epic within the business world.

Musician Shimza took to Twitter with positivity and love for all the artists out there who are making it big in their business ventures. He claimed they were “woke” for embracing multiple streams of income.

“Our era of artists are selling quite just music! Woke bunch!” Shimza tweeted.

Shimza knows a thing or two about making bucks outside the studio. The DJ features a line of bucket hats and a restaurant, The Hang Awt 1632, in Johannesburg.

In an interview with Mixmag, he said through his music, he has been ready to diversify and explore his passions, including opening The Hang Awt 1632

“The restaurant was a natural progression from having the ability to check what people in my community need in terms of entertainment. I started my festival in Thembisa, and that I know what’s lacking there, and what it’s I can present to folks that are often singular and a fresh idea for them to possess fun. Anything music gives me access to, I’ll do.” said Shimza.
