DJ LeSoul
Early life
Dj LeSoul was born in KwaMashu, which is also where she grew up. Attending church at a young age and having a preacher as a father had a positive impact on her love for music. Precious was an active member of the church and played the piano, also sang in the choir, and danced. She enjoyed music growing up and her love for music drove her to form a dance group with her friends. She currently lives at the Shisa Nyama Festival at Eyadini lounge.
Career
During the beginning of her career, LeSoul saw a female Deejay playing at a club and she was inspired by the sight. According to the female Deejay, LeSoul,
“playing the piano opened doors for her to be a Deejay.
Upon playing the piano for some years, I decided to dig deep into other music genres apart from the gospel”.
She researched more artists which she never knew that time and went further to studied their skills and path to greatness so she could emulate them.
She kicked off her career as a producer and also learned how to Deejay.
Deejaying
LeSoul had known gospel music at some point in her life while growing up.
The knowledge obtained has contributed a lot to her career in music. It trained her on how to use her voice, keys, harmonies, etc. Starting to learn a new genre wasn’t a bed of roses to her at first but she had to train herself to be a better Deejay which has won a lot of music lovers around her community.
Fortunately, her musical background was a bonus point and has catapulted her to a great height in her career. According to her
“I was able to learn quickly.
I’m the only female artist in the continent who is a multi-instrumentalist producer and DJ’s without headphones”.
Performance
According to Deejay LeSoul, she has three major highlights in her career.
Her first was playing at “The Block party” in 2018 with Black Coffee (DJ). She was inspired by Black Coffee’s journey and also believes that a time will come when both of them will share the same decks. Another highlight was playing in New York City and Turkey and she received an incredible reception from the audience.
