Nikki Benatar chats to DJ Shimza, 23, Edgars brand ambassador
I
was born and raised on the East Rand, in Tembisa. Even though my first name is actually Ashley, my grandfather used to call me ‘Shimi’ and the nickname caught on. Later, when I became a DJ, I wanted a cool-sounding name, which is why I added the ‘za’. My signature sound is Afro-tech; it’s the music I fell in love with when I first wanted to be a DJ. It’s a mixture of house, tribal and global sounds. I started DJing in Tembisa in 2002 – I was only 13 years old. I listen to a variety of music in my spare time, mostly Afro-jazz, hip-hop and house. My musical inspiration is Black Coffee. He has had such a huge impact on house music in this country – he has literally changed the face of it. Local artists doing big things at the moment are MiCasa, Da Capo, Black Coffee, Culoe de Song. They’re not just making great songs; they’re raising the bar and taking South African music to the next level. The thing I love the most about being a DJ is travelling and meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds. It's so interesting getting to know their tastes in music. Plus, making contacts all over the world is a great way of expanding my brand. The highlight of my career so far has to be the tour I did after winning Channel O’s The Next Big Thing II, in 2007. I went to Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and the United States of America.
22-Brand Ambassador.indd 22
Attending the Winter House Conference in Miami was another high point. To be a good DJ you need to be able to read the crowd and interpret what’s happening in front of you. You also have to know how to work the room and adapt to the situation you’re in. Sometimes it takes more effort to get people excited about what you’re playing. Being a brand ambassador for Edgars is so cool. The clothing and lifestyle reflect who I am and where I’m at – energetic, on the go, unstoppable. My look is not overly formal nor too laid-back – it's somewhere in between. I like Diesel jeans, hoodies, T-shirts, Nike sneakers and Adidas cologne. I love Joburg for its energy – we’re exposed to the faster side of life, putting us a step ahead. Most new ideas and trends seem to originate in Joburg. And I'm happy to be part of it. Being 'unstoppable' means a lot to me. My drive to carry on, no matter what, is a big part of who I am. There are so many
My drive to carry on, no matter what, is a big part of who I am things that can get in your way: negative attitudes, being turned down, etc. But being unstoppable means believing I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I am inspired by my friends and family. I’ve watched people very close to me go through really difficult stuff – divorce, drug abuse, losing all their money – and they get through it. Which is proof that nothing is impossible. I can get through anything. My motto is just keep pushing and never look back.
