Journey
Kgosietsile Kalakgosi, known to the music world as Djy Biza, is a South African DJ and producer whose rise has been tied to the heart of amapiano’s evolution. Growing up, music was more than background noise for Biza; it was a language that spoke to him. His curiosity about rhythm and melody soon turned into a passion for production, as he experimented with beats and textures that reflected his own perspective. He often cites Anomalie, J Dilla, and Mdu a.k.a TRP as inspirations, artists who taught him the value of both experimentation and authenticity.
While amapiano remains central to his work, Biza explores gqom, kwaito, afrohouse, and rai, often using piano as a unifying thread across contrasting rhythms. Tracks such as “Ta’Biza,” “Hade,” “Chomi Yaka,” and “Yebo Lapho (Gogo)” highlight his ability to balance emotion with dancefloor energy. His collaborations with JazziQ, Mellow & Sleazy, Uncle Waffles, and others position him within a vibrant network of South African club creatives.
What sets Biza apart is his drive to create music that feels new. Rather than relying only on established formulas, he searches for ways to stretch amapiano into fresh spaces while keeping its essence alive. This creativity has made him stand out. Whether it’s the reflective pull of lyrics or the hypnotic pulse of basslines, Biza’s work captures the balance between storytelling and rhythm, giving listeners something to both feel and dance to.
For Djy Biza, music is a journey, an ongoing conversation between himself, his influences, and the audience. Still early in his career, he carries both the hunger of a newcomer and the vision of an innovator.
