In the pulsating world of music, Drihanna, the stage name of Dineo Mogoai, emerges as a dynamic force, captivating audiences and industry giants alike with her electrifying DJ sets. With just a year under her belt, she’s already etching her name in the annals of music history, with a recent performance before the legendary South African DJs Black Coffee and Kabza De Small.
According to IOL Entertainment, Drihanna’s journey into the DJ realm began as a passion project, honed at the esteemed Mapentane Music Academy. From hosting gigs to her own birthday celebration, her talent caught the eye of Soweto’s vibrant club scene, ultimately leading to a groundbreaking opportunity opening for Black Coffee himself.
Transitioning from her role as an admin assistant, Drihanna pursued DJing full-time, driven by her creative spirit and a desire to challenge industry norms. Inspired by icons like Rihanna and DJ Zinhle, she’s carved out a distinct persona, marked by her bold fashion choices and diverse musical collection.
But Drihanna’s aspirations extend beyond the DJ booth. With international gigs already under her belt, she’s on a mission to release her own music, tour globally, and empower young girls to defy societal stereotypes.
“I always want to encourage girls to go to school and they can do whatever they want,” she declares. “You can’t argue with a man once you tell him, ‘I’ve got a qualification.'”
With each beat she drops and every stage she graces, Drihanna is not only making waves in the music industry but also championing a message of empowerment and resilience. As her star continues to rise, she serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring DJs and young women everywhere, proving that with talent, determination, and a dash of confidence, anything is possible.
