South African Music is Spiritual - Heavy K explains why
About this episode
Tay interviews Heavy K about his journey in music, identity, and the challenges of building a career in the African music scene.
In this episode, Tay sits down with South Africa's legendary DJ and producer Heavy K — The Drum Boss — for a conversation about music, identity, and what it really takes to build a lasting career across the African continent. From sneaking onto his brother's computer at 15 to pioneering Afro House and the rising wave of Tristep, Heavy K reflects on the journey, the lessons, and the sound that has made him one of Africa's most distinctive voices in dance music. He opens up about the business side of music — gig selection, brand positioning, and knowing your worth — as well as the bigger conversations around Pan-African identity, xenophobia, and what it means to represent your country when you tour the world. There are real moments, sharp insights, and plenty of gems from a man who has built everything from nothing and is still very much in his prime. Hosted on Acast.
