From the heart of Khayelitsha, a rising force in the Amapiano scene is making his mark. DJ Kayvee, an emerging producer with both talent and vision, is proving that music born in the township can echo across the world.
With a debut EP already released, a recent spot at the prestigious Gaba Canal Studio Camp, and a feature on an upcoming album later this year, DJ Kayvee is not just building a career - he’s building hope. “My music is not just a form of expression, but a powerful tool for inspiring the next generation,” he said in our recent interview with him on The Morning Cruise.
Gaba Canal Studio Camp: “A Moment I’ll Never Forget”
DJ Kayvee’s participation in the Gaba Canal Studio Camp marked a major milestone in his journey. Being invited to the camp - a known incubator for some of the best Amapiano talent in the country - confirmed that he’s on the right path. “Having recently participated in the prestigious Gaba Canal Studio Camp… it’s an experience that helped shape where I’m going next.” And where he’s going is clear: to greater platforms, more collaborations, and deeper influence - all while keeping his sound rooted in where he comes from.
More Than Music: “It’s About the Youth in My Community”
DJ Kayvee’s mission goes beyond music charts and streaming numbers. His story is grounded in resilience, passion, and dedication to uplifting the youth in his community. “I use my craft to motivate young people in townships to dream big, pursue their passions, and transform their circumstances.” In townships like Khayelitsha, opportunities can feel scarce, but Kayvee wants to be a voice reminding others that success is possible, even in the face of adversity.
Debut EP: The First Chapter
With his debut EP already out, Kayvee is setting the tone for what listeners can expect: authenticity, rhythm, and a message of perseverance.
While the EP marks a significant achievement, it’s just the beginning. His sound captures the heartbeat of his environment - a mix of joy, struggle, and unshakable hope.
With momentum building, an album feature on the way, and more studio sessions lined up, DJ Kayvee is focused on growth - both as an artist and as a leader in his community.
