SoulSista

DJ SoulSista is from Pretoria the Capital city of South Africa.
She is a one-of-a-kind artist whom South Africa’s vibrant house music landscape wouldn’t be the same without.
Coming from the era of vinyl, being hooked from the first time she put her first needle to record, never looking back ever since. From that day, music has moved her soul and with soul music she has moved many others, getting the name SoulSista by people who labeled her “The lady with Soul”.

With her distinctly eclectic taste in music ranging from energetic dance grooves with plenty of vocals, to a deeper, more progressive sound,

It all started for her in 2001, when she moved to Ayia Napa in Cyprus with her self-taught mixing skills. She played at as many beach parties as she was able to, playing for a minimum wage or even for free, just having fun and perfecting her skills. It was not long before she was noticed and asked to play at some of the best clubs, including Club Black & White. Her musical influences has evolved over the years, from old school Hip Hop in her early years to her soulful, deep house style that she has become known for today.

Her impeccable tune selection combined with her charismatic and energetic personality landed her a weekly slot on Metro FM, Friday nights 9-10pm, on the “Smirnoff Experience Dance Mix Show”. On the show she interviewed some of her favorite artists, exhibiting her passion for music ranging from underground house to deep, soulful vocal house tracks.
In 2004 DJ SoulSista released her first, highly acclaimed mixed compilation “Music is my High”, which had exclusive tracks from various know and unknown producers worldwide. On the album, she also released her first single “Music is my High”, where she did the songwriting and composition, co-producing it with Sisco Umlambo with Tasha Baxter on vocals.
She has been involved with MTV Base Africa and Ministry of Sound, 5FM & Metro FM, doing weekly mixes for their radio shows. Working with big labels like Defected in the House and corporate clients like Apple, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi SA.
SoulSista helped transform the stores of Levi's™ South Africa into a dance floor with compilation mixes she did for the brand. She has played alongside international acts like Frank Roger, Rocco (FR) and Luke Solomon (UK) to name a few. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, SoulSista was the South African DJ host, covering the FIFA fanfest parks all over the country, making the world dance.
Performed in massive festivals like Oppikoppi locally and worldwide in counties like India, Cyprus, Indonesia, Singapore, Botswana, Mozambique, and Mexico.

Looking ahead, SoulSista will continue to conquer the dance music world with a new compilation out later this year and more productions to follow.
