For Tshepo Makapan, better known as DJ Neno, the odds were never in his favour.
The Mabopane-born DJ has turned his challenges into fuel for his music and career. He spoke to Sowetan about how talent and determination can rise above any barrier.
It started organically. Growing up, music was always around me part of daily life, family gatherings, long drives and moments of reflection. I was drawn to sounds that made me feel something, not just hear it. When I first encountered soulful and deep-house, it resonated.
