DBN Gogo

DBN Gogo is one of only a few female DJs and producers at the heart of South Africa’s massive Amapiano scene. We trace her journey to international stardom.

We catch up with multi-platinum selling DBN Gogo, the South African DJ and producer who’s just released her latest track, Balimele.

DBN Gogo, who took her stage name from her home city, Durban, is one of only a few female DJs and producers at the heart of South Africa’s massive Amapiano scene. She shot to global stardom in 2021, when the video of her debut track Khuza Gogo went viral. Her tracks Love and Loyalty and Jele featured on the soundtrack of the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever film.

But for the first three years she hid her DJing from her mother because the industry – with its late nights and male domination - can be risky for women. We trace her journey from warm-up DJ to international stardom.
