South African Music is Spiritual - Heavy K explains why

In this episode, Tay sits down with South Africa's legendary DJ and producer Heavy K — The Drum Boss — for a conversation about music, identity, and what it really takes to build a lasting career across the African continent.From sneaking onto his brother's computer at 15 to pioneering Afro House and the rising wave of Tristep, Heavy K reflects on the journey, the lessons, and the sound that has made him one of Africa's most distinctive voices in dance music.He opens up about the business side of music — gig selection, brand positioning, and knowing your worth — as well as the bigger conversations around Pan-African identity, xenophobia, and what it means to represent your country when you tour the world.There are real moments, sharp insights, and plenty of gems from a man who has built everything from nothing and is still very much in his prime.
