  Speaker 9: When you look at your career and you realize that,
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: you know, the President says you've made a major contribution
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: to the country, it culturally wise, two questions, which song
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: stands out for you and which artists that you produced
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: and discovered stands out for you?
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Well, to be honest, there's so many songs, but you
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: know which you know, I've produced wet with my teammates
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: and other artists, But I think there is one which
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: you know which I wrote.
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: And and and produced.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: It was through we went to Miami Dance Conference because
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: that time we're feeling we wanted to see how the
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: international stage is. It was myself, DJ Fresh, Crystal, Vinita, Vinci,
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: No fistus, wasn't it. It was a group we call
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: ourselves DJU because we felt, you know, the five of us, myself, Greg,
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Vinnie Christos and DJ Fresh. We felt that, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: we've been dging for a long time and our posters
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: it's always us. But now we wanted to, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: give back and start teaching young people about the music
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: in the So we went to Miami, went a conference
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: because you know, that's where the conference, and we went
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: to find out how the world is doing it so
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: that you know, we can come back and teach the
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: younger people. By that time, Quite was big, and we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: wondering why, you know, all my mind there's a producer
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: who have been saying, but why is why Quite or
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: not breaking it in the international market. But when we
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: got there, this is when I saw, you know, how
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: the world is, how they are doing things. Went to
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: your master's at work, gig were found Luis Viega, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: playing with their live band, playing with Jess musicians and
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: all that. And you know, when we came back, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: called my partner Bruce. I said, we have to change
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: the game. We need to up the tempo. And then
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: you know, let's call some of these big jazz musicians.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, with Guido.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: And then from there I started calling you know, people
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: around you know, because quite a lot of jazz or musicians,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: they didn't regard it as music. You know, this all this,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: you know, it was like say this is the music
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: for the kids. It's not you know, because remember we
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: started using computers to program and then they were they
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: were playing live, so people you know that transaction gave
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: you know, it was a problematic just like AI now
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: is technology. People are saying that. But anyway, but the
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: only person who pushed up was Praa Sgala what with
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: this trumpet. He came to my house at the studio.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: He says, let's do this, and then from there we
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: did this Ablasa track.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: That's the trick. Yeah, that was as a trick. That
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: was as album. Mean, hey, well cool it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Bazukalaza saw that album, Pra you came in it blue
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: and then the late most obviously were working with Bratton
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Lacker and then from there, you know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: We released that album.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: But within a week Masters the DG called us back
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: to say that, you know, we want to release this
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: album internationally. For me, that's the album which really opened
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: the dance market for Sala.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Wow, that's crazy.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: They do not call him the father of South African
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: music for nothing. Listen, so many antwers that if we're
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: on we're gonna take a quick at break. Typically you're
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: gonna give us news headlines. But going into that, we
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: just thought, let's just put together a few songs, just
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: like a montage that you've been jamming to. Whether you
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: knew or not that the brains behind that's on you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But just just take a walk down.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Memory and dance floor lane for Ski no burn out.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Since the burn out, she's enough hotel.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Actually, actually.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It's Sun your chief.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: What would weddings be with at Hosquitos Music?
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know what I work with the team, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: I think our labor a chase me and I mean
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: it's really been amazing for making Manda speaking with Bruce stop.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: Bra don't like the late joke, and all the artists
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: we've worked with. That's why in this world you don't
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: walk alone. You don't walk alone in this award. You know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: it's not for me, it's for everyone who I've walked
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: the path with, not only because people when you look
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: at this Howard, it's not only on the music which
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: I've done, I mean it's the other things.
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: For example, we're talking about the pri you story. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: when Bra.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: You why, I say that is always iconic in my mind.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: So he played, and after that, when he played, he said, okay, guys,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: give me my money. I understand. And then from they
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: wanted this session money. Then I said, okay, bri you
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: you know, we're talking also to the manager said no,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: but you know what you've contributed in this in this album,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: do you understand? So therefore, who is your publisher? Because
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: we can give your session money, but I want us
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: to give you a piece of publishing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: Yes exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: In composition, yeah exactly. Well I always say this because
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: people miss this, right. Yes, so a lot of people
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: will contribute to the track. But the money, I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: you'll get your fee for the day, yes, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: but the real money lies and how many songs you've
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: contributed to and the publishing rights that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: Go with that as a composer, because that piece which
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: you think, you know, in terms of composition, besides revenue
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: which you get on streaming, there is something called publishing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And that's the one of which.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Now when the song is played on radio, when the
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: song gets a single deal, it's playing in the movies,
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: And when I say, who are the composers of this song?
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: Do you understand? So pray you now he didn't understand that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: That's the first time it's ever been done for here.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, so he's saying, so what are you talking about?
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: So I sit down, I break it down to him.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: So he's saying, do you mean that all these years
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: odd money.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Yes, you know, and probably a lot of money.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: And I'm thinking that here I'm talking to iconic, uh,
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: pri you And at the end I said, yes, pri you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: It's like that, we're gonna need to understand who's you're composing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: And you know he was, so he started calling me.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: He ended up like now studying his own record level,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: called Sisa, Sisa, and he was saying, okay, you help me, man,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: I need a young person who's an engineer who can
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: help me. And that time I said, okay, you know
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: what you I'm working with a young guy and I
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: think he will be a perfect fit for you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: And that was Black Coffee.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: You know what, you know, Black Coffee started being an
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: engineer because Black Coffee is and a lot of people
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: think Black Coffee is a DJ is whatever. That time,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I'd already worked in I was working with the relationship
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: with Nati. People don't understand that it is a genius
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: when it comes to music production whatever. And Black Coffee
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: that's how his relationship with you started. So when we're
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: talking about this, you know, these things which happened in
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: the music industry, but there are other things which we
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: work on behind behind it does, but now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: It makes you know, this is the thing.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: This is why Osquito gets the because, like we said,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: from body Rolls to where he's sitting in front of
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: the president, right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: But it's not it's not just that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It's every little piece of foundation that you help lay
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: so that black coffee can be at the two Arena
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: sold out on a Friday night, you know, because it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: all these little things. Like we were telling a story
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: about Miami and the music conference. That's how music gets
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: exposed to the world, and guys go, okay, but there's
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: some something's happening in South Africa and maybe it's not you.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: It's not the generation after you, but the generation after that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Because those teachings from Miami. We came in and we
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: started with my crew. That's why I'm saying I don't
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: walk along, and we started teaching a lot of young people,
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: you know, about music production rights and all that stuff.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You know, you you have a secret pr agency, right.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: There is a person who every time he opens his
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: mouth and he speaks about you, he actually if this
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: person's dead, wasn't his dad, he'd wants you to be
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: his dad.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: He speaks so highly of you and the things that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you've done, the things that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: You have done publicly for people or privately for people,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: and he's just always in the nose, like you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Osquito did this. And then the one time he came
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: to your house. You just built a house I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: in Waterfall and he came back. It's like you're uneasy
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Mosquito's house.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: The finishes the kitchen whatever his.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Name is, size Romo.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, this badman loves you with his entire being. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: when he found out that you're coming to the show,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: he sent a voice note.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: So talent aside. When I think of Hosquito, I think
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: of a couple of things. The first thing is that
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: I've never known an artist and a label relationship not
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: to deteriorate. More often than not, if artists are signed
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: to a label, later on they will fight to their
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: label and then they'll want to leave. In Mosquito's case,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: everybody it's ever been at Galawa, even the people that
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: have left, still speak very highly of Calawa. So it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: the first thing that I noticed, because for me, it
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: speaks to how they do and conduct their business. The
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: second thing is once I got to meet Osquido and
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: work with him, and why I noticed that he was
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: just always very helpful. Again, generally, when people are older
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: and they've been the industry longer, they get very territorial
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: or new talent comes in. Osquito's not like that. Mosquito
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: has helped so many people, not only in music, but elsewhere,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: right even in business. I don't know a single person
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: who has anything bad to say about him, And so
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: for me, that's why he's the scoop man of good
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Man's Congratulations good Man.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: Amazing.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Something.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: It must have happened to you when you were growing up.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Somebody is a grandmother, it's a mom, it's someone it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: an aunt, it's an uncle. Someone must have put that
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: element in you that is such a big sense of community.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Who can you attributed to the way they are The
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: reason I'm like this because you are really so giving.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think my dad, my late dad, is always said,
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: you know what, you must understand that this life, God
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: is going to give you an opportunity because you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I used to be worried because you find that when
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: we're growing up, you know you're staying on a bedroom house,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: but you find that there is about say twenty people, relatives,
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: people we don't.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Know, and we have to share food with them. You
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: know what I mean.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: You know you get angry, but you know you're saying
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: that you know what this is our life is. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: know all you need to do is that wherever what
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: God can help you with, share with other people.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: And when.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: The best thing you should do is that for you
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: to move forward is that you must always be humble.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Being humble is going to open a lot of doors
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: for you. And the respects and the things which you
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: are ending in this world, they are not yours.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: God is just borrowing you.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Even who your are as scared, We can put you
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: on a high seat. It's him who is in control.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: And when he does that, he is testing your power.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: It's either you use it or you abuse it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: It's back to making your moaning and La and the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: club on nine four seven
