DJ Sliqe Heads Top Position at Sony Music Africa

Lutendo Kungoane, famously known as DJ Sliqe, has been appointed as Head of Hip Hop/R&B at Sony Music Entertainment Africa.

Sliqe will head up Sony Music’s investment in Hip Hop and RnB in South Africa.

“I thank God for the opportunity. I give my sincere appreciation to Sean Watson for entrusting me with this new responsibility” said the artist.

He will also be responsible for discovering new talent as well as elevating careers of already signed artists.

“It’s apparent he wants to invest his time and energy in making a difference for his music community out of a role in A&R.” said Sean Watson, Managing Director of Sony Music Entertainment Africa.

DJ Sliqe has worked with some of the biggest artists in Mzansi such as Kwesta, Shekhinah, the late Flabba and more.

“It’s a sign of his selfless commitment to his peers and something we’re very excited about supporting!” concluded Watson.

DJ Sliqe joins the latest member of the A&R Team which includes long time Sony employee, Spiro Damaskinos and Clement Phaswane, famously known as Trancemicsoul.

Sliqe was the first Hip-Hop DJ to win “Best Remix” at the SAMAs in 2016 for ‘Do Like I Do’.

“I’m excited to work with the Sony Music family and create magic for South African Hip Hop and R&B.” concluded the artist.
