“My journey began in the intimate energy of Koporus in Kwa-Thema, the relaxed vibes of Chillas, the stylish rooftop Anderson Hotel, and the spirited nights at Zigzag in Springs,” he explained.
His appearances on Big Brother Mzansi weren’t just performances; they were electrifying moments broadcast into the homes and hearts of millions across Africa. He also has a residency on EK FM.
“It is not just a weekly broadcast. It’s a space where I relentlessly hone my craft, pushing my boundaries and evolving my signature sound.
“This vibrant energy is ready to travel, carrying the soul of South Africa to dance floors worldwide. In fact, 2025 marks a significant step in this journey as I embark on the Forward We Move tour,” he added.
Skaps is also set to perform at the ZNA Gathering in Portugal in 2026.
“This renowned festival, known for its forward-thinking vision to diversify its musical landscape by collecting the best sounds from various genres, not just limiting itself to trance, has recognised my unique ability to blend rhythms and evoke deep emotion,” he said.
