DJ Fresh started out in radio in Botswana in the early nineties and from the minute DJ Fresh was shown the mic he knew that broadcasting was the only career for him. DJ Fresh subsequently dropped his law studies and pursued radio fulltime, joining YFM in 1997. DJ Fresh was heading up the YFM breakfast team by 2003 and was quickly snapped up by 5FM in 2006 where the Fresh Drive has since become a 5FM institution as well as one of the station’s most popular shows.
DJ Fresh is set to release his twenty fourth house album in 2010 – a Soul Candi production called Evolution part two. DJ Fresh's first four house albums – the “Fresh House Flava” range are said to have altered the house landscape in South Africa for good, bringing the genre into the mainstream music scene
DJ Fresh has shared the DJ booth with a number of internationals during his career to date, including “Little Louie” Vega, Frankie Knuckles, Armand Van Helden, Chris Lake, Paul Van Dyke, Oskido, Fat Boy Slim, Hoxton Whores, Jazzy Jeff, Harley & Muscle, Ready D, Kenny Gope Gonzales, Viny Da Vinci, Deep, Gregory and Dominic Spreadlove. Cities like Johannesburg, Miami, London, Cape Town, Moscow, Brisbane, Ibiza, Leeds, Durban, Gaborone, Birmingham, Dubai, Montreal and Melbourne have all danced to DJ Fresh's beats.
DJ Fresh is part of “DJU”, a team of leading South African DJ's, musicians, producers and media personalities. Inspired by international conferences such as The Miami Winter Music Conference, DJU established the South African Music Conference in 2005. The conference is more than a talk shop for DJ's & producers; it is a critical platform for South African dance music industry practitioners to keep pace with, and eventually lead global developments.
Despite DJ Fresh's enormous success, DJ Fresh remains humble about his achievements and still has many goals to pursue. DJ Fresh describes the 5FM team as “The most dynamic team I have ever worked with – they are a bunch of highly motivated people and it rubs off. 5FM has extremely high standards and benchmarks which inspire me to be even more inspired.
