Deep London Opens Up About His First Amapiano Song That Changed His Life. The-28-year-old, real name Lita Kupelo, has been in the music industry for almost a decade but things were not really working in his favour.
The musician got his big break through his hit amapiano song, Hamba Wena featuring Buhlebevangeli Manyathi, professionally known as Boohle. “That song was inspired by my journey on how I moved from doing deep house to amapiano genre, because when I started back in the day in 2013, I was producing mainly deep house music.
“It is my first amapiano song and the reception really overwhelmed me. My dream has always been about making people happy so when I came up with something that makes people appreciate music because it is a universal language, it was fulfilling for me.”
“I am so grateful really because when I see our elderly people doing those dance challenges every time the song plays or on social media, it really touches me. The young ones also which seems cute, it is just saying to me that indeed hard work pays off.”
Deep London tells us that the breakthrough of Hamba Wena has seen him reach places he never imagined. “I have never gone abroad before but through this song I was able to go to Turkey and next year we have a European tour. I also get recognised everywhere I go, even now if I can go to a mall, there will be people who would like to take selfies and pictures, it is so humbling really,” he said.
