The LOTH contest is part of a global initiative that aims to spotlight underrepresented talents and to foster creativity in spaces historically limited by systemic barriers. "Reflecting on my journey, I'm reminded of the powerful women who welcomed and supported me when I entered this industry," shared Dey. "In an era where South Africa continues to wrestle with questions of safety, equity and inclusion, I feel an even greater responsibility to uplift our voices – especially those of the women and LGBTQ+ community who have shaped dance music culture from the beginning."
