Three decades of Easy B’s evolution :: Mmegi Online

Born Sesupo Bannye, the man known in entertainment circles as Easy B has built a career that mirrors the growth of Botswana’s urban music and events scene. His journey, which began in the late 1990s, is rooted not just in talent but in persistence, adaptation and an understanding of audiences. Some 30 years later he sits down with SHARON MATHALA on the eve of his celebratory event

Easy B traces his formal entry into music to the mid-1990s when he became a resident DJ for different local clubs. However, his connection to music started years earlier in community halls, where he organised beauty pageants. These early events were modest, but they exposed him to crowds, logistics and the pulse of the entertainment industry.

Around the same time, a popular music outlet, Disco City, owned by Tony Craze Disco, became his turning point. The store was more than just a retail space; it functioned as a meeting point for music enthusiasts and industry players. Easy B spent much of his time there, absorbing the business side of music while building relationships.
