In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience.

Being born and raised in Soweto and Johannesburg has been quite a colourful journey and of course the number one reason I am who I am. With our country’s undoubtedly profound history, every South African has their own, “Long Walk To Freedom”, story to tell, and mine happens to be MUSIC... 
From my earliest memories as a child, music has always been there. I have a vivid recollection of the freedom songs that use to raw in every corner of Soweto. I remember the introduction of bubble gum dance music from the likes of Hotstix Mabuse and Brenda Fassie. Later came the birth of Kwaito music after the end of apartheid. 
Music has been my escape, inspiration and comforter. Thus, for me it was only natural and inevitable for me to pursue music as a career. I wanted to create and share with the world the amazing feeling of joy, companionship and love that I felt my entire life all thanks to music.

Sonwabile Mzinyati better known as Sobz in the underground musical scenes has been around
the industry since the age of 14 years with so much determination about the underground
scenes. A long musical journey with different influences of, not only different sounds
across the continent but also different areas around South Africa. Telling a story of
his life and experiences through his distinguished sounds of afro, deep, and soul
elements, Sobz has been going strong and is still going deeper in his journey in music.

From influences of local and international cats like, Ralf Gum, Black Coffee, Rocco, 
DJs @ Work, Osunlade, Atjazz, and Foliage Records, Sobz has managed come up with his
own sound of such combinations.

With his journey starting from rhythm and poetry to jazzy-gospel to house music and more
recently exposing his inner-talent of verbosity(vocalist and word-of-mouth) as he
believes that a good song is not only made by a sexy voice but passion and determination
can be the factors holding the future of beautiful music. With this kind of mentality
he has blown the industry with his releases and has held the "Spot-light" for about three
weeks on Spirit-of-House Reviews, with a release from Sobz & SoulPoizen titled "Believer"
that was released under Soul'O Music in 2011.

In 2010, he started-out with his own label Soul'O Music, to accommodate such a different
taste of sound, which was established early 2011.

Now recently after hitting a number of radio stations like MetroFM(Urban Beat), GagasiFM, TruFM,
YFM, and others, and with a couple of radio interview, Sobz got signed for an album deal
by Ocha Records, a record label based in Miami, FL USA owned by Mr. Carlos Mena and Mr. Osunlade
who are one of the biggest international brands and legends in the Deep House scenes. The album
is to be dropped in 2013.

Sobz delivered his first single, "Missing Chords" with Ocha Mzansi, as an re-introduction to his unique taste and sound in August 2012 as a Traxsource exclusive. His single went up to number 15 on soulful charts and number 20 on the top 100, and was supported by the likes of Rocco, Ralf Gum, Mr. V, Lars Behrenroth, and more.

As one of the youngest DJs', Sobz has been playing around Durban and other places like
King Williams Town (The Rock and Platinum Lounge) and has worked and played along with djs', artists, and producers
like Roger Goode, DJ Fresh, Toya Delazy, SoulPoizen, Andy X, Blaq Soul, DJ Gogo, and has worked on remixes for artists like 340ml, The Soil,
Malehloka, Kenny Bobien, and many others. Sobz usually refers to himself as a live-remixer
because of the skill of synchronizing some live elements when he plays.

There is no doubt about Sobz in the South African and international music scenes,
he is here to stay and he is growing stronger both as a DJ and producer/remixer in the
industry. Stay tuned while he blesses you with some mind-blowing sounds.
