Mzansi songstress Tamara Dey is taking on a new and significant role as the godmother in the first-ever Lady of the House (LOTH) South African demo contest, aimed at uplifting women and non-binary creatives in the dance music industry.
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."

The contest also features a panel of other influential figures, including fellow godmothers Gigi Lamayne, Namakau Star, Shamiso and ambassador Money Badoo, who will collectively select four deserving emerging artists to receive transformative opportunities.
These include a full release with Lady of the House Records, access to professional networks, DJ and production tools, scholarships to prestigious music academies and invaluable mentorship from industry veterans.
"I am honoured to join other iconic South African artists in selecting the winners for the South African leg of the Lady of the House demo competition.
"I will be on the lookout for world-class production and songwriting that truly captures the heart and soul of South Africa's story and culture through dance music," Dey said.
Laila McKenzie, the founder of Lady of the House, heralds Dey's involvement as a beacon of support for this movement.
