Biography:
DJ SGZ aka Gugulethu Mokwebo started his music career as a DJ in 2002 using cassettes and 2 tape decks at the age of 15. His style ranges from Afro, Jazzy, Funk and Soul. Heavily influenced by his late father (May his soul rest in peace) who was a heavy Jazz collector. His neighbour who is also a dj was a big influence in SGZ's career as well. SGZ was also part of a duo called 'Stuntmen Project' with a friend, Mellow D. During DJ SGZ's graduation year they got a publishing deal at Sheer Music which was hooked up by Qness.
