Local Potch DJ wins Best Amapiano Single award
Tshepiso Mogorosi (22), best known by his stage name Ta Lokii, has won the Best Amapiano Single at the Mzansi Arts and Media Awards. The awards took place on April 26 at Bedrock Valley in Hammanskraal, Pretoria.
He was a former learner at Ditaelong Primary School and Boitshoko High School and started his music career in 2016 in Grade Seven.
'My mother's family and also Mr. Stephen Nonzaba managed to help me with the funds and contributed to the transport,' Ta Lokii says.
'I have to thank God for making me arrive in time at Temba Stadium. About 21km from the stadium, the car started to overheat. Luckily, we managed to arrive before the event began.'
Ta Lokii says the experience was memorable. He managed to see some of the TikTok influencers like Dikuku Bester (who was nominated for Best Comedian) and Ta Gee The Crazy (who was also nominated in the same category).
'The moment when they called my name for the Best Amapiano single, I was super happy, I shed tears of joy because it was my first nomination and first award. I thanked my co-producer (Djy King Amo SA), my mother, and my supporters who took their money to buy airtime and voted for me.'
Ta Lokii says he has big plans for the future.
'My plans for the future are to see myself and my co-producer (Djy King Amo SA) having our own big studio where we work with the best producers in the province. Also, my future plans are to get more promotion and marketing so that I can see myself playing in huge places/ events like Blk Lounge, Dj Zodi One Man Show, and Big Daddy Events.'
