"Tandaring Dawta real nameThandeka Shabalala is a female dancehall & Reggae dj/shelector, based in Jhb. Her career as a selector stretches back to her high school days back in the 90s, when artist like Shabba, Beenie, Bounty Killa, Capleton, Sizzla, Antony B, Buju Banton etc. were penetrating the young dancehall industry at that time. Being the first female reggae/dancehall dj in Jhb behind da decks, was a choice motivated by her love for the music. Right through high school without fail on weekends, she was moving around ghetto to ghetto playing in dub sessions from Soweto, Vosloo, Sebokeng, Yeoville, and many other places in & around Jhb. Cutting Edge Sound System (now called Crucial Hi-Fi) led by Elder Jah Crucial gave her the platform to learn the workings of being a dj. Even after high school, she knew her calling was in the music industry, so she went on further by studing sound engineering. After completing her studies, the motherhood bug bit her which resulted in her being hiatus from deejaying. With her daughter being a little older, she has returned to her 1st love, deejaying. Now with an objective of spreading and being in the forefront of promoting reggae and dancehall music in Africa across. “I strongly believe in the power of music to educate, elevate, and entertain at times, can't imagine a world without dancehall and reggae music - MUSIC period!!"
