BUHLE NCAPAYI
17-year-old Buhle Ncapai, better-known as Scumbaby, was born and bred in Midrand. Buhle is currently doing her second year of Civil Engineering at Springfield College. Her major recognition in the youth industry came when she hosted Flexecution. She realized that there wasn't any females who formed part of the events industry and she wanted to make a change and Flexecution created that platform for her.
Many years later and Buhle just finished studying the arts of Dj'ing through Rise Academy. Her Dj'ing has recently overlapped her MC'ing as she receives more gigs to DJ at events than MC. Buhle believes strongly in teamwork and evolving as a unit. She also believes that one should be able to withstand competition as there's competition in everything and as soon as you learn how to overcome it and focus you'll excel.
Her main inspiration comes from YouTube sensation Jackma, who she deprives a lot of notes from and to develop her intelligence and knowledge. Her other inspiration is DJ Arch Junior, who's currently the youngest DJ in the world. As she's continuing her musical journey, Buhle would like to work with Black Motion, Dbn Gogo, Moonchild Sanele, Shimza and many other heavyweights in the industry which she looks up to.
Buhle believes that the industry as a whole needs to have more hunger. "A lot of people say be yourself, I say trust in yourself. Trust in your art, your abilities, your hard work and it'll lead take you a step above". As a DJ and influencer, Buhle faces a lot of difficulties, but she's slowly overcoming them and we look forward to seeing what she has in store.
