IT IS THIS VERY NEIGHBOURHOOD WHERE MANY OF THE PROMINENT SOUTH AFRICAN DJ’S, PRODUCERS AND ARTISTS HAD EMERGED. DURING THIS PERIOD, HE JOINED ARTS AND CULTURE GROUP AMAJIKA PERFORMING ARTS INSTITUTE WHERE HE LEARNED ABOUT MUSIC AND DRAMA. THIS SAW HIM PERFORM ALONGSIDE PJ POWERS FOR A JUNE 16 EVENT AT THE CIVIC THEATRE IN BRAAMFONTEIN AND THE WHITNEY HOUSTON SA TOUR WITH OTHER GROUP MEMBERS. SEEING DJ JAWS SPIN MADE DJ SOULTRAXX™ WANT TO LEARN THE CRAFT EVEN MORE. HE THEN STARTED COLLECTING RECORDS FROM HOUSE AFRICA RECORDS WHERE LEGENDS LIKE VINNY DA VINCI, CHRISTOS KATSAITIS AND IGGY SMALLZ WOULD CONSTANTLY BE AT REACH. THIS WAS EVEN MORE OF AN INSPIRATION. EVER SINCE THEN, DJ SOULTRAXX™ WOULD NEVER STOP SPINNING. YOUNG AS HE WAS, HE WOULD GO ON AND FIND HIMSELF ROCKING DJ FRESH’S MAD HALF HOUR ON YFM WHEN THEY WERE STILL LOCATED IN BERTRAMS / BEZ VALLEY, BECAME ONE OF THE RESIDENTS AT THE ROCK (WATERFRONT), PLAYED AT COUNTLESS HOUSE PARTIES, TEAMED UP WITH DJ MAYIBUYE (CURRENTLY THE MUSIC DIRECTOR ON JOZI FM), PLAYED ALONGSIDE DJ MBUSO, GLEN LEWIS, VINNY DA VINCI, LULOCAFE, T-DEEP (METRO FM), RYAN BLISS (UK), RHEES (CAPE TOWN), GRANDMASTER K, THEE GOBBS, BLACK COFFEE, CLIVE BEAN (SOULCANDI RECORDS), VIGILANTE (METRO FM), NATHI (METRO FM), KENT, MILKSHAKE (5FM), DIMPLEZ (5FM), WARRAS (YFM), MAJOR LEAGUE, TWINZ ON DECKS AND INTERNATIONAL DJ ANDY COMPTON, UPZ (AVI ELAMAN), ROCCO, NICK HOLDER, RALF GUM, HARRISON CRUMP TO MENTION A FEW.

HE THEN WENT ON TO STUDY SOUND ENGINEERING AT ALLENBY IN BRAMLEY WHERE HE MET HIP HOP ARTIST AND PRODUCER PROVERB WHO WAS DOING HIS FINAL YEAR. DJ CLEO WAS ALSO AMONG THE ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO WERE DUBBED THE LOUDEST BUNCH IN THE CAMPUS. WITH GROWING PRESSURES FROM HIS FAMILY TO CONTINUE STUDYING, THINGS WERE NOT EASY. HE BECAME REBELLIOUS AND CHOSE TO GO AND STUDY ART & DESIGN IN PORT ELIZABETH WHERE HE MET OTHER MUSICIANS AND DJ’S. THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK FROM THE MUSIC. HE THEN STARTED SELF-TEACHING HIMSELF HOW TO PRODUCE DIGITAL MUSIC ON REASON AND FRUITYLOOPS. SOFTWARE PROGRAMS THAT HE NEVER ENCOUNTERED WHILE STUDYING SOUND. THIS ENHANCED HIS EAR FOR MUSIC. HE COULD COME UP WITH REMIXES IN HIS HEAD JUST BY MERELY LISTENING TO AN R&B, SOUL OR JAZZ TRACK. HIS INFLUENCE COMES MOSTLY FROM JAZZ AND NEO-SOUL, SMOOTH SEXY VOCALS, TRIBAL BEATS AND SOME ROCK. MUSIC MADE FOR THE SOUL, SOULTRAXX. HE IS DEFINITELY HERE TO STAY. SO GO AHEAD. GRAB YOUR HEADPHONES AND PLUG INTO THE DJ SOULTRAXX™ WORLD. HE WORKS WITH A 4 PIECE BAND THAT HE UTILIZES FOR PREMIUM EVENTS . PRODUCTION OF HIS OWN MUSIC IS IN THE PIPELINE. HE IS CURRENTLY AN UNSIGNED ARTIST.
