DJ Missy began her career in 2013 as a commercial and soul DJ. She considers herself as one of the pioneers of female DJs in the country. She plays a blend of deep house, inspirational, and passionate music that soothes and calms music enthusiasts. DJ Missy told Arts&Culture that it has not been easy for female DJs to break into the male-dominated industry over the past years. She said that to be a successful DJ, one must be focused, grounded, persistent, hard-working and determined. She also indicated that she continuously receives respect from her male peers because of the same traits. “I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by my industry brothers who kindly support me,” said DJ Missy.
According to the gifted DJ, she always makes it a point to show up for every booking that she gets. Furthermore, she stated that as long as there is a contract, she has no say in which bookings to accept or reject. She said the main objective is to use her sets for various genres to make everyone happy regardless of age. She stated that she gets her inspiration from two female South African DJ’S; Lamiez Holworthy and Zinhle to keep going. DJ Missy delivered the dopest set at The Day Club, Pretty Girls Love Good Music and Toropo Ya Muka (TYM). Unlike before, she said she has been getting bookings to play at some of the biggest festivals around and across the borders. “In the past, I would just be booked to DJ at weddings and corporate functions in Francistown, but this year is different and it is good to be recognised and appreciated by my hometown,” she added.
