Two weeks ago TshisaLIVE reported that DJ Christos is participating in an industry workshop in Eswatini with the German embassy in Pretoria. The workshop is taking place on Friday and Saturday in Manzini, Eswatini, and a second will be held on November 15 and 16 in Maseru, Lesotho.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, DJ Christos said this year’s events promise valuable insights into the music industry for the first time outside South Africa.

“Over 15 years in the business, Swazi Boy Entertainment has been involved in providing events management, promotions and entertainment in Eswatini. It is at the core of the dance music industry in the kingdom, having hosted the biggest events there,” he said.

“The company is also responsible for the Eswatini Creators Awards and the House Musiq Festival, which brings together the best performers in the country and beyond.

“The Dance Music Summit is a skills development agency run by myself and Lady Sakhe that aims to upskill and educate anyone interested in the dance music industry.”
