DJ Swazi Cele has become a powerful name in South African house music. From Alexandra Township to major stages, she embodies rhythm, roots, and realness. Since entering the scene in 2018, DJ Swazi Cele has built a reputation as a genre-blending DJ with deep, vocal-driven sets that stir emotion and keep crowds moving.
A graduate of the Pioneer DJ Institute, Swazi fuses Deep House, Soulful House, Afro House, Old School, and Private School Piano. Her performances at DSTV Delicious, Durban July, and Vetkuk vs Mahoota Carnival placed her alongside legends like Vinny da Vinci and Kabza De Small.
Yet her identity is more than accolades. She plays from the soul, guided by rhythm, storytelling, and sharp musical instincts. Her title, the “Queen of Vocals”, reflects her ability to select music that speaks, heals, and uplifts.
Swazi describes herself as a female DJ from Alexandra who carries love for music into every set. For her, DJing means telling stories and connecting people through sound. Emotion, rhythm, and authenticity define her performances. She believes energy should speak louder than words, making every set unique.
Swazi began as a self-taught DJ before pursuing formal training. She quickly realized that DJing was both passion and purpose. Her motivation stemmed from wanting to play on big stages and alongside her role models. That drive led her to iconic events and unforgettable performances.
Highlights include performing at massive festivals, meeting inspiring people, and traveling across countries. Each experience strengthened her artistry and pushed her boundaries. However, the journey has not been without challenges. As a woman in the DJ industry, she often had to prove herself. Many assumed that a pretty face could not mix. Instead of discouraging her, this challenge fueled her determination and sharpened her skills, helping her rise stronger in the scene.
Swazi plans to release more music and expand into event curation. She is also exploring the digital world, with plans to study robotics while continuing her journey in music. Her future promises both innovation and creativity.
“Just like me, my sets are real – no filters, just good music, good energy… and of course I aim to get those high fives at the end of it all.” – DJ Swazi Cele
