These days he is based at Windmill Park in Boksburg.<\/p>\n<p>When his friends first called him Nova, he had no idea what it meant. However, he later learnt that it was Spanish for \u201cnew\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo basically it meant that I was a new producer coming up with a new sound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding his music, he said it was aimed at healing souls and teaching people how to love even after they had experienced difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>His musical journey started with remixing other people\u2019s music. He then realised that to stay relevant he needed to create original works.<\/p>\n<p>What followed were hits such as Ndidikiwe, featuring Nezi, Stuck on You featuring Zoe, Let\u2019s Leave featuring Nalize and Mina Nawe, on which he was in the company of Mandy and Positive J.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe songs are very special to me because they are amazing classics. They never get old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey sound new every time I listen to them and I have gained a really good following after dropping these songs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from collaborating with<\/p>\n<p>others on these songs, he also worked with Fistaz Mixwell, Thebe, Cuebur, Moneoa and Big Nuz.<\/p>\n<p>He singles out his house remix of Drunk in Love as a real banger. \u201cI killed it to the core,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised the importance of collaborations. \u201cI get to explore so many different sounds when I work with different artists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a producer and musician, I learn so much from each and every individual I work with. That part is really fun for me and I enjoy it the most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy music grows and evolves every time I make a song. To me it depends on a certain stage I\u2019m going through in life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much emotion involved in my music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DJ Nova SA is working on a new album, in addition to other projects and visuals.<\/p>\n<p>His wish is to see more new talent given opportunities on major radio and TV platforms and be on high rotation like established artists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish we could realise the realist artists who are putting in so much work and yet still get underrated. Also, let us teach young artists the importance of being an artist and a business at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Pretoria News<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
