DBN Gogo Reacts To A Critic Claiming That The Only Requirement For Female DJs Is Beauty. Mandisa Radebe otherwise known as DBN Gogo has taken the DJing scene by storm since her introduction to the game. Whether it is her sets that leave people begging for more or her unique style, she has set the game ablaze. Having played at events such as Ultra, Oppikoppi, Homecoming Africa & worked with brands such as Strawberry Lips & Ray-Ban, she has been able to do everything her way.
DBN Gogo responded to critics saying that in order to become a DJ as a female, the only requirement is beauty and sexy dance moves. However, DBN Gogo slammed the tweet saying: “Maybe amaFemale. Thina abanye siyaDeejaya nje.”
Mandisa opened up about some of the challenges she has faced as a female DJ, saying: “I faced a lot of challenges when I started Djing. I used to have to do free gigs to push myself. It’s quite tough to break through, you really have to stay proving yourself to people, I believe it’s even harder for females because it’s such a male-dominated industry. As big as DBN Gogo is right now, she still has to prove herself every day.”
“I made sure to stay consistent with my craft. There will be promoters who don’t want to understand why your rate is the amount it is and that’s totally okay because for every door that shuts there are five more that are wide open. There are a lot of ups and downs in this industry. As an artist, I just had to stay positive that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. Now the work speaks for itself,” she added.
