Dj Qness The Best Zim Dj at The Moment

By Quibell Ramantswana , 12 Mar 2009

The multi talented DJ Qness is completely animated as he speaks about the success of his latest track ‘Fugama Unamathe’. Not surprising considering it looked to be a future hit the moment he had completed it and is featured on “DJ Mbuso Phezulu Selection” compilation CD.

Born in Zimbabwe as Qhubani Ndlovu, he started his career as an RnB singer before experimenting with Rap and now finally a House DJ and producer.

“…they have acknowledged that house[music] is big in South Africa”.

O’luhle”It happened when I listened to Oskido Church Groove, the very first one, that’s when I just went crazy and started experimenting with dance music”. “It’s amazing, the respond is big and the track is big. It played on Yfm before and now on Oskido’s show”.

The song features O’luhle born as Sukoluhle Ncube who is based in the UK. “I listened to one of her tracks on ‘MySpace’… the voice just did it man…she sounded like Brenda Fassie to me. Oluhle’s voice is just electrifying”.

Like many established DJ’s Dennis Ferrer has toured South Africa for quite sometime now so when DJ Qness heard his reaction about South African house music he was more than pleased. “Dennis Ferrer was so amazed, he said; he is actually bigger in South Africa than his home town. They acknowledge that house [music] is so big in South Africa”.

“…it’s about what you have and who you are”.

Breaking the International market is a complicated situation for any musician. DJ Qness recently licenced some of his tracks on Soul Candy, Sheer Records and House Africa subsequently becoming one of the top DJ’s across Africa. So what was it like to break the market? “People see that people from outside other countries are just like people in South Africa. Now we sit together and work together. I‘m working with the guys like DJ Mbuso, Black Coffee and DJ Clock. It’s all normal now. It’s not all about where you come from its all about what you have and who you are”.

Best DJ in Zimbabwe at the moment? “I wouldn’t wanna get all pampered but with what I have right now on my hard drive I think “JA”[yes]
