Bio
Simstar’s silhouette
One of the freshest, most delectably decadent, femme DJ’s returned to
South African shores has to be the booty-shaking, vibe-creatin’ and
sister jam slamming Simstar!
“I’ve been Djing for the last 6 years, self taught for the first three on
Technics 1210s,” explains the effervescent rising rockette.
Not being content with mediocrity, Simstar embarked on a mission of
self exploration to feel the good vibrations of London Town’s subterranean, underground, dance soul
in 2009.
“Seeing all the major influences in my life as I was growing up, performing right in front of me, led me
to a deep and lifelong passion for underground dance music,” enthuses Simstar, the words dripping
from her lips and her eyes sparkling with an unmistakable passion that is sure to set fire to dance
floors across the country.
During her time in London Simstar didn’t allow the grass to grow under her feet. The aspiring student
of mixology went to The London Sound Academy where she was taught the art of mixing on CDJ’S by
the legendary UK. DJ, Producer and Promoter, Buster Bennet.
“I then proceeded to play at various private parties across London,” enthuses Simstar. “I also played
alongside Larry Tee at the infamous Shaba Daba events at club Avalon and at The Raving Buddha in
West London.”
On the young sensations’ return to South Africa at the end of 2011 Simstar immediately set about
establishing herself in the local underground scene.
And with a star-aligned helping of serendipity she was invited to demonstrate her DJ skills to local
audiences – for the first time in three years – during an off the cuff set at AREIA Dance Festival, an
annual gathering of like-minded beat –driven souls in Mozambique.
This led to Simstar being asked by the renowned Ricco Dex to play her booty shaking beats during
the entire festival, alongside SA DJs, producers, remixers and self confessed music lovers, Mark
Stent, MissRed, Thalia, Doctor Stone, The Chad, DJ Calculus, The Mon and Ru – B.
She was also signed with the amazing Diva's on Decks and has played alongside some of SA
Legends like Lady Lea, Vimo, Kyle Watson , Pascal and Pearce, Dave Skins and many more. Keep
your ears and eyes open for the blond-rocking beat chick as she continues to rip up dance floors and
break down party doors all across the country .
