Judy Jay real name (Judy Mahlatji) was born in Tjetane, a small village in Sekhukhune, Limpopo, Judy as a young DJ has caught a lot of attention of many in South Africa’s House music community. Her sets mystically impact listeners from the very first track.

For those with their ears and mind to South African deepness, listening to Judy Jay’s set sprinkles aural moments of the Deep House giant, Kat La Kat.
Speaking of the musical genius, she says, “Kat La Kat is the greatest artist that inspires me. He’s one of the best artists that I look up to. He is a force!” At such a young age, Judy Jay serves to show the House community that we really should be doing more to create platforms for young emerging talent to find their feet and gain confidence in their craft.
Judy suggested “there should be a concept or a huge event where they only feature young DJs like myself. Because, honestly, it’s not easy to get bookings or invited to a certain radio station or TV show to showcase your talent.” In this social media age, marketing yourself is vital and Judy Jay is pushing to get her sound heard.
“In terms of marketing and branding myself, I push to record mixtapes (radio mixtapes and live interviews) because, I know for a fact that radio stations have (many) listeners, that way people get to know that there is Judy Jay.” So many young girls are gaining the necessary confidence to pursue a career in electronic music. It truly is a refreshing scene to see girls behind the decks at any event.
To her Sharing music is a liberating feeling that everyone should feel free to do! Judy’s advice for young girls wanting to access the House scene in South Africa, “they must associate themselves with the right people. The most important thing is to have respect because talent can be destroyed and doors can be closed.”
