DJ Speedsta to give back to aspiring DJs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

DJ Speedsta<\/a> is commemorating his birthday with an initiative that goes beyond simple festivities.<\/p>\n

The entertainer, known officially as Lesego Nkaiseng, has unveiled a program under the DJ Speedsta Foundation, which will provide four aspiring DJs with fully sponsored training.<\/p>\n

The initiative, named DJ 101 by DJ Speedsta<\/em>, will be conducted over an eight-week timeline and aims to equip participants with practical skills and real-world industry experience.<\/p>\n

Speedsta aims to make the application process straightforward.<\/p>\n

Those interested can enter by submitting a brief 30-second video where they introduce themselves, indicate their hometown, and explain their passion for DJing.<\/p>\n

Entries are accepted via email until 27 April.<\/p>\n

The winners will be revealed on 4 May, coinciding with Speedsta’s birthday, during his Up To Speed<\/em> podcast and across his social media channels, providing a personal connection to the initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole thing is called DJ 101 by DJ Speedsta,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe\u2019re having a full workshop with industry experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participants who do not make it to the final selection will still benefit from the initiative.<\/p>\n

Speedsta has announced that everyone who enters will have access to a wider learning experience by attending a DJ 101 workshop scheduled for 9 May.<\/p>\n

The event will include guest speakers and professionals from the music sector, who will share their expertise regarding both the art and business of DJing.<\/p>\n

From his early days in the Vaal Triangle to establishing himself as a prominent figure in South African hip hop, Speedsta has cultivated a diverse career encompassing radio, television, production, and live performances.<\/p>\n

With this recent endeavor, he seems determined to offer similar opportunities to others, particularly young talents who may lack the necessary resources to enter the field.<\/p>\n
