PHODII
Curator of Amapiano, Beatport (ZA)
PHODII is a sonic architect and a pivotal figure in the narrative of African electronic music. With a presence that commands the stages of the continent's most electrifying scenes, PHODII has carved a unique space where melodic curiosity meets the infectious rhythms of 3 Step and Afro Tech. His performances are truly multi-sensory; by incorporating live, classically trained violinists into his sets, he adds a sophisticated and purposeful twist that elevates the traditional electronic experience into a high-tier performance.
His ascent has been marked by appearances on major global platforms, including Ultra South Africa, Sondela Recordings, and Piano People. These milestones have seen him share the stage with a global roster of industry titans, from Zakes Bantwini and Major League DJz to The Chainsmokers and Martin Garrix. As a recording artist, he has solidified his own sonic identity through acclaimed collaborations with SPINALL, Sun-El Musician, and Kwamzy, further cementing his position as a key player in the African Electronic music narrative.
A respected tastemaker, PHODII serves as a sought-after moderator, Beatport curator, and industry figure, guiding meaningful dialogues and maintaining strong professional ties with Mixmag and The Grammys. His commitment to the growth of the genre led him to co-found Pieces Africa, a media platform and networking hub connecting the heartbeat of African music to a global network spanning Europe, the UK, and the United States.
