Dbn Gogo Explains Why Focalistic Is Not Featured In Her New Album. Mandisa Radebe professionally known as DBN Gogo, is a South African DJ and music producer. Born Durban and raised in Pretoria, she garnered local attention following release of her debut single “Khuza Gogo”, which was certified platinum in South Africa.
Earlier this month, DBN Gogo and her musician boyfriend, Focalistic – whose real name is Lethabo Sebetso – made their relationship public by posting of themselves enjoying an evening walk in Paris. “From Paris, with Love,” she captioned the picture of herself and her bae on Instagram.
At the moment, Dbn Gogo is set to drop her new anticipated album, which she revealed that she was telling a story of what she went through this year. Which includes her old tweets being discovered and everything else. She also mentioned that Focalistic is not featured in her album. “Focalistic is not featured in the album. I mean he did come to the studio while I was recording and all, but he then recorded his own music. I feel like the vibe he has musically does not resonate with what we do, but there could be a collaboration project that we might both release.”
In an interview with Kaya FM, the musician revealed that she was born in Durban and spent her childhood living in Pretoria and in France where she learnt to speak French fluently. “When we were in Paris, all the artists coming from South Africa to perform in France would always come to my house. I grew up literally chilling, sitting, eating dinner, maybe every month with Miriam Makeba,” she told the publication.
DBN Gogo is the daughter of former minister in the presidency, Jeff Radebe. Her mother is successful businesswoman, Bridgette Motsepe – which makes business mogul, Patrice Motsepe her uncle. The current president, Cyril Ramaphosa is also her uncle as he is married to her aunt, Tshepo Motsepe.
