DJ Nospa, one of Bulawayo’s top wheel spinners who turned 28 on Wednesday, says his only wish is to get married.
The DJ, real name Hapson Fidelis Macheka, will celebrate his birthday with a bash at Club Eden today.
The bash will feature performances by Judgement Yard, chanter Etherton B and fellow wheel spinners Liz, Crazy Dee, Ras Obido, Slimza, Staffa, Eugene, Wellyonz, Teflon, DBongz Deeper, Mavenda and Keezy.
“The most important gift is life. At the weekend, I’ll be celebrating the gift of life and its ups and downs. I’ve learnt so many lessons throughout the years and these have made me a better person,” said the freelance DJ.
Nospa said he believes he is ripe for marriage.“I’m not married. I wish I could get married soon because I believe I’m old enough and mature for marriage. I’m just waiting for the right person.
“I’ve no kids either and I really feel it’s about time I start a family. I’ve got a niece who looks like me and some think she’s my daughter, but she’s my sister’s child,” said DJ Nospa.
Describing himself as a mix DJ, Nospa said ever since he started his career in 2006, he has never regretted that decision.
“I became a DJ for the love of music. My parents loved music so basically it’s a family thing. I also became a DJ because it’s fun and at the same time, I’ll be earning money.”
Also celebrating his birthday this weekend is another popular DJ, Kead Wikead. The resident DJ at Club Connect turned 29 on Thursday.
With a career which spans 14 years, Kead said he felt he needed to assist up-and-coming DJs as he gets older and wiser.
“It’s been 14 years in the game and I believe it’s high time I groomed younger DJs. I was groomed by DJ Gunz and Mark Vusani and I feel there should be a next generation of DJs after ours that can take over and grow the industry,” said Kead Wikead.
The celebrations kicked off yesterday at Club 263.
