Journey
Karabo Mokoena, known as Dr. Lamondro, is a South African music producer and DJ recognized for his contributions to the House and Amapiano genres. Born in Katlehong, Johannesburg, his roots trace back to Tweefontein-M in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga, where his musical journey began.
His fascination with DJ culture started during his school years when the growing popularity of DJs inspired him to experiment with sound. At the time, he had limited knowledge of music production and learned largely through trial and error. One of his earliest attempts at producing a beat was so poorly mixed that it damaged his speakers, an experience he later described as a turning point that pushed him to improve his craft and study music production more seriously.
Over time, Dr. Lamondro developed a distinctive sound built on rhythmic percussion, melodic arrangements, and the fusion of traditional African musical influences with modern electronic production. Now based in Pretoria, he has become a respected figure within South Africa’s evolving dance music scene, creating music that resonates with audiences across the country and beyond.
His body of work reflects steady artistic growth, beginning with "Fede" (2021) and continuing through projects such as "Mob Ties" (2023) and "Motlalentwa" (2024), before releasing "Sekuse Duze" (2026). These projects highlight his versatility as a producer and his ability to adapt to the dynamic sound of contemporary Amapiano and house music. Songs such as “Ngizimisile,” “Abakhongi,” and “Ngenze” have further strengthened his presence in the industry.
Throughout his career, Dr. Lamondro has collaborated with several respected figures in South African music, including Kabza De Small, Artwork Sounds, and DJ Tira, contributing to projects that have helped shape the modern Amapiano movement.
His work has also earned recognition beyond music releases. In 2025, he received a nomination at the Crown Gospel Music Awards, reflecting his ability to create music that crosses genre boundaries. That same year, he was featured in GQ South Africa, where his influence as a producer and DJ was highlighted as part of the new generation driving the country’s music culture forward.
