DJ Bongi, aka Tshipi Mosweu was a simple girl from Loxion Mabopane and didn’t dream she would ever become a House DJ, but realized that she was born to be in the industry. DJ Bongi grew up listening to music, dancing to different kinds of songs and my favourite artist was the late Brenda Fassie. DJ Bongi never imagined that one day she would become a professional DJ. People used to call it a male dominated industry but she has proved them wrong. DJ Bongi started in 2007 when she received turntables to play vinyl records. She then started being the resident DJ of House 22 because of her taste in music selection. She has proved that she is analytical and can almost read the minds of the crowd when playing a track that that moves them.
