DJ Zinhle is SA’s most recognized female deejay. She has opened a platform for black females in the deejaying industry. She made a breakthrough when she stole Oskido’s attention, who then opened and exposed her to radio and music production. Since then, she has become one of the top successful female Dj’s in the country and a successful entrepreneur.
But apart from that she has since then set her foot into the business world creating some exciting ventures for herself. Apart from a number of endorsements to her name, Zinhle has proved her success as an entrepreneur. So what makes Zinhle such a successful Dj and entrepreneur? We take a look at some of her abilities and strengths to understand how she reached a massive level of success in the matter of years.
1. BREAKING BOUNDARIES – While we expect Zinhle to be focused on music, we never thought she’d come up with a DJ Academy or a watch brand? As a successful entrepreneur she doesn’t limit herself…Today she owns a fast growing watch brand “ERA” which she sells online & distributes nationwide. She also runs a deejay academy that trains, mentors, empowers females about the entertainment, music industry.
2. SHE’S SOCIAL & ENGAGES WITH FANS – Social Media is free platform …so why not use it? Well DJ Zinhle makes sure she keeps her followers / fans on Twitter/Facebook updated with all her new moves either in music projects, her products and new ventures. By so doing she builds a business & fan relationship and paves way to knowing plus understanding her fans. This helps her to know her market & creates open doors for future business ventures.
3. TEAMWORK – In business you need a strong team to be able to build your empire, DJ Zinhle has proved through years that she’s been able to maintain all the demands either as DJ or businesswoman and ofcourse maintaining her successful brand as DJ Zinhle. This is all because of teamwork, she has a team that manages her bookings, media/publicity, shipping of her watches and she has recently started a nationwide campus team to create an easier distribution method plus expose the ERA brand to the different campus market.
4. MULTITASKING – It’s not an easier task to multi-task in business. However DJ Zinhle continues to prove that one can actually succeed with it.
She has a weekly gig-guide with events to play at, she has a brand to maintain, she has a watch brand business to run, she has a DJ academy to run, she’s also involved in other endorsements. In recent times Zinhle was on Radio and TV at the same time, which obviously scaled her schedule.
5. GIVING BACK – “Show me a successful CEO who does not give back….”
DJ Zinhle has a DJ Academy (FUSE) that educates females about the entertainment, music industry. She created this platform as to empower women who want to learn about the industry, because of lack of opportunities that are available for females in the industry.
Zinhle dedicates her time to give lessons at the academy to those attending. She has also participated in SAMC (South African Music Conference) a movement that educcates & informs young people about the in’s & out’s of music business. It’s a lesson through years; we all should learn to give back.
We definitely all can learn from this young & hardworking lady. Don’t be shy to learn from success of other. Well done to DJ Zinhle for all the success achieved so far.
