Amapiano and Afro-house Deejay Kim. Kulture is quickly establishing herself as a formidable presence on the music scene, captivating audiences with her unique sound and infectious energy.
Born Thabelo Muthivhi from Tshisahulu, Kim. Kulture's passion for music was ignited during her school days when she found solace and inspiration in the arts. But her uncle, DJ Browncat, was the one who truly sparked her love of this art. "He always played music at our family Christmas parties, and I used to stand with him behind the decks, pretending to be a deejay myself," she remembered.
She completed her Grade 12 at Dimani Agricultural High School in 2018, and she is currently a fourth-year student at the University of Venda (Univen), where she is doing her bachelor of arts in youth development.
Her journey as a deejay began in 2021 after she had taught herself the basics from YouTube tutorials and started performing in front of live audiences. Last year, she started doing shows, called Pro-Bono, at prominent venues and events around Limpopo to promote and showcase her talent to a wider audience.
Deejay Zinhle stands out as one of her greatest motivations. "Watching her play and produce music gave me the courage to embark on my own journey as a female deejay. I also draw inspiration from other talented female deejays like Dbn Gogo, Vigro Deep, and Kelvin Mono. Collaborating with well-known artists like Murumba Pitch and Nkosazana Daughter would be a great experience for me," she said.

"I want to create innovative platforms and events and bring like-minded females in the industry together, fostering networking opportunities and the formation of alliances," she said.
