| Producer DonJay |
Q: Who is Don-Jay, what is he about?
A: Don-Jay is just basically a young ambitious and curious producer. I am all about music, all about keeping it real IN ALL CATEGORIES.
Q: How did you start with music production?
A: Started many years ago, like a decade ago. I started with FL Studio,
listening to those beats on FL and tried to change em to the sounds that I want
till I perfected my skills to the point that I could start my own beat from
scratch. I realised that it was easy using the program and I started liking my
own beats more the beats on the program. I banged some for my friends who were
also musically influenced and they also liked my sounds. I then went on to
experiment on other programs, I went out to meet producers in the hometown although
they weren’t trynna teach a nigga what’s cutting, regardless of that I
continued to perfect my sound. Moms & pops didn’t approve, that’s one of
the reasons that motivated me to improve my sound to prove to them that I have
the best sound in the country and Africa!

Q: What influences your sound, what’s your inspiration?
A: The old musical legends I grew up listening to, the like of Ras Sheehama, Jackson Kaujeua, Willy Mbuende, that’s now locally. Some legends from the neighbouring countries as well, like Lucky Dube, PJ Powers, Ishmael Lo, Brenda Fasie, Stimela to name a few. When music evolved into a new era, I connected to western music, Hip Hop, the likes of Makaveli The Don, B.I.G, Snoop Doggy Dogg, the whole West coast. Other than that, I’m an artistic person, I get inspired by art.
