It’s closing in on three years since we last spoke to Casper the DJ.
From lockdowns to killer pandemics and partying with facemasks, a lot has changed since then.
We caught up with the talented 26-year-old musician to find out how Covid-19 has transformed things and how his star evolved since our last encounter.
Q. How was your line of work affected by the pandemic and what have you been doing to ensure you bounce back?
The pandemic was overwhelming; from gigging every week to being stuck in doors.
It was an eye opener too.
Hopefully I’m not the only one that learned something from it!
Q. As a DJ, what techniques do you use to engage your listeners?
Over the years I’ve become more of a performer than just a DJ.
I really enjoy vibing and dancing with the crowd
Q. What would you say is the most rewarding thing about being a Disc Jockey?
It has to be love.
The love I get is amazing, couldn’t ask for anything else.
Q. Do you have any studio rituals or essential items that you always have with you when DJing?
Shockingly no. I just go in with blind faith.
Q. Are there any unwritten rules among DJs?
Don’t play another artist’s song if he’s on the line up – unless he’s your boy or girl.
Q. Let’s go back in time to 2011 – what advice would you give to a young Casper, about to go into DJing, unsure, afraid and not knowing what to expect.
Be woke! This industry is cut throat.
Tota ke eng ne ba sa mpolelle ke simolla.
Q. Please recommend an upcoming artist to our readers, who you feel deserves their attention.
BeeTee 4071.
Beyond a DJ he produces too.
Shawn Lee as well.
These are two amazing Afrotech DJs.
The list is endless, this article could become about them tota (laughs).
Q. What projects are you currently working on?
There’s music coming.
Won’t disclose with who as yet.
Definitely giving out an offering in Jan.
Q. What are your hopes for the new year?
This year has probably been the best year of my career.
Hopefully it’s nothing but elevation from here on in
Q. When not making music, where can we find you?
Home, in bed, sleeping (laughs).
If that was a career I swear I’d be a millionaire.
Q. What is your most used emoji?
E le lona le batla go re exposa!
Most used emoji is the smirking face.
