Don Kabza’s musical credentials speak for themselves. Over the years, his sound
has shared space with some of the industry’s most celebrated names, Ralf Gum,
Black Coffee, Charles Webster, Jimpster, testament to a craft honed with purpose
and patience. Far from a fleeting figure in the DJ booth, his journey has been marked
by intention, evolution, and unmistakable influence.
His time at YFM, one of South Africa’s most iconic youth radio stations, was more
than a line on a résumé. As an On-Air DJ, a contributor to the music department, and
a Production Engineer, Don Kabza helped shape the station’s sonic identity. He
wasn’t just playing the music, he was part of how it sounded, felt, and resonated with
an entire generation.
The trajectory changed in 2009, when he clinched the title at the Battle of the DJs
hosted by Damelin College in Braamfontein. It wasn’t just a win, it was a turning point,
a public endorsement of a talent ready to move beyond the underground. By the time
2011 rolled around, his reimagined takes on tracks like Nutty Nys, Nkamodira and
Rhythmic Elements – 2 by 2 had begun making the rounds, earning nods from
industry heavyweights and drawing in a wider audience.

Between 2011 and 2014, he further solidified his presence through remixes of
tracks like "Nutty Nys - Nkamodira" and "Rhythmic Elements - 2 by 2," garnering
recognition and respect from peers and industry luminaries.
The pinnacle of his success manifested in being featured on an album release in
Botswana, where three of his tracks found a home in the "House Junkies" compilation
album. This marked a significant chapter in his career, opening doors to wider recognition
and acclaim.

With over 18 years of DJ'ing and 15 years of music production under his belt, Don
Kabza's creative process is a testament to his versatility. Inspired by everything from
thoughts to sounds or visuals, his music spans across genres, from Deep Soul and
Soulful House to Afro House, Kwaito, and Amapiano.
Reflecting on his YFM days, Don Kabza reminisces about the good old days, a period of
learning and networking that followed his entry into the station in late 2010. Serving as a
Broadcast Engineer and Technical Producer for on-air DJs, his journey at YFM was a
dynamic blend of technical finesse and creative expression, concluding with a six-month
contract that ended in 2011.
As he continues to mesmerize audiences, Don Kabza's performances have left an
indelible mark at iconic venues, including the "J&B Met," major YFM events, and the
House Junkies' album launch in Botswana. Looking ahead, he anticipates upcoming
shows in Cape Town, at venues like Cabo Beach, Grand Africa, Broke Klubhouse, and
Tiger’s Milk, promising his audience an unforgettable sonic experience.
