Simba Magnetic DJ

Born Siyamthanda Tshula in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, Simba MagneticDJ is a dynamic producer and DJ known for his Afro-tech, Afro-house, and commercial sound fusion. He began his musical journey in 2005, inspired by his brother Docta Musiq, who introduced him to production and live performance. By 2008, Simba was releasing local tracks online, shaping his early career.

Simba’s stage name evolved through chance, originally “Simza,” but later becoming “Simba” due to a designer’s mistake. Co-founding Magnetic DJz with Siphelo UltronicSA Mathebe, he made waves with projects like Kings and God’s EP and Uzongikhumbula. After the duo split in 2021, Simba kept “MagneticDJ” to honor their legacy.

His solo work features standout tracks like Imvula and Intwe’ntle, showcasing his ability to blend soulful melodies with hard-hitting beats. Simba has worked with renowned South African artists such as Trademark, Professor, and DJ Mdix, helping shape his sound and reputation.

Currently working on a 5-song EP, Simba is committed to his own growth while uplifting emerging talent. Inspired by Kabza de Small, Simba aims to inspire the next generation of South African musicians.
