Weekend Turn Up interviews Yashna International – and all we can say is “Yass, Yashna, yass!”

Multi-genre singer/songwriter Yashna International, queen of boss energy, hates coffee and heels – but loves music and has a passion for her craft that you have to respect when you realise the many successes she achieved despite the challenges.

DJ DOOWAP releases brand new TVC in collaboration with sportscene. The end of 2022 saw one of South Africa’s biggest artists and producers, DJ DOOWAP, embark on a global tour to celebrate the release of her debut album Izinja Zeb’sukum. Ibiza, London, Paris and New York, were just some of the destinations that the fashion forward artist took her unique blend of high energy Hip Hop, Trap, Grime, Amapiano, Gqom, and Bass to – and it’s easy to see why the young South African was invited by some of the…

Weekend Turn Up meets the King of Gqom … DJ Lag

Let’s go, fam! Let’s meet the one and only DJ Lag, powered by adidas. Exclusive, online and up close. One of the original pioneers and creators of the unique gqom sound coming out of Durban, DJ Lag (real name Lwazi Asanda Gwala, born in Clermont in 1995) has been on the scene since 2013. After a quiet start, he found his genre – or rather helped birth it – bringing gqom to the world’s attention and putting a whole new music genre in the playlists and on the platforms. He…

Multi-genre singer/songwriter Yashna International, queen of boss energy, hates coffee and heels – but loves music and has a passion for her craft that you have to respect when you realise the many successes she achieved despite the challenges. Weekend Turn Up never found out why she couldn’t live without coffee, but the heels thing makes sense when you know the reason behind it. “Life would be so much better if there was no pressure of having these heels,” she says – and tortured toes and cramping calves around the…

MC Reggie works hard – and laughs harder. An exclusive interview from Weekend Turn Up

Weekend Turn Up’s interview with MC Reggie didn’t exactly go as planned. It was way more fun. Five things he can’t live without? Seven, actually – but gotta love his enthusiasm. And his optimism. And his work ethic, which would kill-off anyone less committed and energetic. This Durban musician is a prolific song dropper. And he’s totally independent: no co-signs or record label to account to. He’s in total control of all his work, shoots his own videos and arranges his own events. Respect. Even though Durban/KZN seems to be…

Kiki x Chucky talks exclusively to Weekend Turn Up. Let’s go!

Kiki x Chucky has always been a performer. His music crushed it at crèche, performed in every end of year concert throughout his school days and knew for sure that this was going to be his life journey. So ‘scuse his ego, it’s been a long, self-managed ride from being a little kid with a big name (Liam Michael Jordhan Marsh) in kindergarten to becoming a sportscene 2020 Put Me On finalist and going on to be acknowledged as the hardest rager in South Africa. The Johannesburg-born lyricist is acclaimed…

Role model Miss Pru got it all – by herself, and on her own terms

Powered by adidas, Weekend Turn Up interviewed Miss Pru (Prudence Sebalo), an award-winning, self-created, self-managed DJ, radio show host, singer, songwriter, producer and business woman. If ever an aspiring artist wanted a role model, they need look no further than Miss Pru. Born in Sedibeng, in the Vaal Triangle, she was influenced by music from an early age, jazz in particular, although the genre that she makes music for right now is hip hop. But not the US/gold chains kind of vibes, “I bring an African element, an African influence…
