Freedom, Music, and the Power of Starting Again
A Conversation with DA CAPO explores his rise from Seshego grassroots to global respect. A Conversation with DA CAPO reveals his passion for freedom, music, and the power of starting again with courage and purpose. His story shows how persistence, belief, and creativity can change a young artist’s future.
Global Recognition with Afro House Innovation
From the vibrant township of Seshego in Limpopo to iconic stages in Ibiza, New York, Paris, and Monte Carlo, Da Capo (Nicodimas Sekheta Mogashoa) built a powerful name in Afro house. He remains known for his soulful and versatile sound that blends deep house, hip hop, and kwaito influences into unforgettable energy. The success of Indigo Child transformed his life, because the songs arrived at the perfect time and aligned with the world’s desire for African rhythm. The project reached platinum and gold achievements while expanding the global reach of the genre.

Finding His Name and Purpose
“My name is Da Capo, music producer, DJ, and sound designer. My real name is Nicodimus, born and raised in Seshego. My journey began at 16. I first produced hip hop before shifting into deep house.”- Da- Capo
The meaning behind his name remains deeply personal. “Da Capo” translates as “from the beginning”. It reflects his belief that an artist must remain willing to start again, learn, and grow. That message shapes his creative identity and guides every move forward.
Seshego’s Lasting Influence
Growing up in Seshego offered daily inspiration. The DJ compilation era dominated the sound of his childhood, together with kwaito and local hip hop culture. Weekend music filled the community with energy. House parties and school events featured DJs who moved crowds with passion and personality. This vivid environment shaped his determination to create music with power, rhythm, and soul. His hood taught him that sound can build identity and confidence.

Hard Lessons and Major Breakthroughs
Signing his first deal at 20 brought excitement, but also lessons that shaped his business approach. He learned to protect your work, understand contracts, and defend your creative output. These lessons strengthened his direction as a rising professional. Indigo Child then shifted everything. The music resonated with millions because it carried truth, emotion, and originality. It became a global statement for African electronic music and proved his creative vision.
Independence and the Birth of Genesis Entity
The launch of Genesis Entity in 2020 changed his artistic freedom forever. For me, independence means freedom. It allows honest growth and real accountability. He built Genesys as a platform where rising talent gains guidance and the opportunity to shine. He uses mentorship to support the next generation of African innovators. His mission pushes Afro house forward while celebrating collaboration and community.

Uniting the World Through Music
Performing around the world remains a dream in motion. One venue stands above the rest. Bali (Savaya) proved to him that music connects strangers without language. It revealed the true strength of rhythm and emotion. Every performance shows that sound carries unity, inspiration, and passion everywhere he goes.
What Comes Next
The future shines bright. Genesys will continue launching artists and releasing new sounds. His own catalogue will expand as he travels the world and shares his message with the loyal community known as the Capoliholics. He continues to chase excellence while honouring his roots, purpose, and culture.
“For me, independence means freedom. It is the best way to learn lessons and face failures, and that is where real transparency lies.” – Da Capo
