DJ Biza letting the music speak after two silent years

Before the hiatus, DJ Biza had already carved a quiet but undeniable space for himself within the Amapiano landscape.

Known for tracks such as Hade and Yebo Lapho, he built a reputation as a producer whose sound carried both youthful energy and emotional depth.

Born and raised in Soshanguve, Pretoria, he entered the world of music production at just 12 years old, experimenting on his phone long before he had access to professional equipment.

His early rise was shaped by collaboration, curiosity, and a natural instinct for rhythm — a combination that made him one of the most intriguing young talents emerging from Pretoria’s bustling musical ecosystem.

There is a quiet kind of courage in returning to the world after a long absence, especially when the world you return to is one that remembers you by sound.

For DJ Biza, the young producer whose work once travelled rapidly across social media, the past two years have been a period of stillness, recalibration, and reconnection. And now, with the release of Feelings and Jazz 3, his silence has finally found its language again.

“I had to take some time off to find myself and the music again,” he says.

Biza’s story begins in a place many artists seldom speak about without softening: the home. Long before the late nights, the studio sessions, the collaborations and the crowds, there was a father and a young boy, sitting together in a room where jazz records filled the air like a second atmosphere.
