Let me tell you, folks, DJ Sox—half of the iconic duo Durban’s Finest—is packing his bags and heading overseas to the vibrant city of Amsterdam. He’s not just going for a vacation; he’s there to light up the stage as one of the headliners at the Afro Soul Jam event.

Born Mbuso Sokhela, DJ Sox sat down with TshisaLive to spill the beans on how he’s managed to remain a household name in the ever-changing world of music. It’s not just about talent; it’s about authenticity and passion. And let me tell you, DJ Sox has got both in spades.

He emphasized the importance of staying true to yourself and following your heart, no matter how tough things get. In his own words, "If you're passionate about what you do, you can keep going even when times are tough. That passion is what keeps you relevant. If you're in it for the wrong reasons, you'll fade away, and nobody will remember you." Wise words from someone who knows the industry inside out.
