DJ Cleo has been the most up front, significant, and influential dance music producer in South Africa for the last five years at least, having repeatedly proven himself with House, Kwaito and Hip-hop productions for such prodigies as Brickz, Pitch Black Afro, Mzekezeke, Mandoza, Kabelo and Skwatta Kamp, as well as having done some work on the Tsotsi soundtrack. Of particular importance is that DJ Cleo wholly owns an independent record label called Will Of Steel Productions. This is a huge accomplishment considering the overly competitive South African music business (with odds stacked in favour of major recording companies), requires astute entrepreneurship and hard work bordering on slavery!
