ShoMag: Within the music industry, what does ‘Tweezy_T’ do and what separates you from the next person who does that within the same industry?

Tweezy_T: Currently I have been assisting a few upcoming female deejays with their demo/mixes, showing them how to create one and the ‘basics of track selection’. What separates me from the next person is I am ‘passionate about assisting people’ in that way I learn and discover a lot of things too.

ShoMag: Personally, I have heard that it is a challenge to ‘get into the music industry’. How are you finding it and what has been your ‘biggest challenge’ thus far?

Tweezy_T: It is indeed the biggest challenge as it is a male dominated industry, not all the male deejays believe female deejays can deliver on the decks, but to their surprise ‘women are more than capable of handling themselves on decks’.

One other challenge is when you are marketing yourself, you would find that some pub/club/promoter/manager making unnecessary sexual advances and when you refuse, then it means no bookings for you from them. ‘Not everyone is like that though, just a select few’.

ShoMag: Would you say that enrolling with ‘Dj Zinhle’s Fuse Academy’ gave you the much needed guidance for your ‘musical career’ and if so how?

Tweezy_T: ‘Yes definitely’, more so when it comes to branding and marketing yourself. How to deal with nervousness when in front of a big crowd and work ethics which are very important especially for females in the industry.
