About Themba

My name is Themba, I am a producer/DJ from South Africa based in Brooklyn, New York. I have been Djing for 7 years and producing music for 6 years and am only working to get better at my craft. I also have experience as a DJ touring all over the world including countries such as Germany, the UK, Mexico and South Africa.

About the lesson

My lessons are hands-on, high-energy, and built around you. You won’t just sit and watch — you’ll be mixing, creating, experimenting, and building real skills from day one. Expect to have fun, move a little, and leave every session sharper than you came in.

DJing:

We’ll cover everything you need to feel confident behind the decks:

The fundamentals of mixing (no fluff, just what actually works)

Beat matching exercises and practical tricks

Smooth transitions and understanding track structure

How to plan and build a proper set

Guidance on choosing the right equipment for your goals

Whether you’re brand new or looking to level up, I’ll help you develop clean technique and real confidence.

Production:

If you want to make your own music, we’ll build it step by step:

Producing a track from scratch

Finding the right DAW and workflow for you

Arrangement, sound selection, and creative process

Mixing and mastering techniques to get your track sounding polished

By the end, you won’t just understand production — you’ll actually have music to show for it.

Perfect! Themba is wonderful!!! We've had our intro and 1st session and it was so fun chatting music and the world of DJing. He's so personable and explained the fundamentals of the controller in a way that really resonated. Historically, I've had a block with understanding knobs and different functions on the controller and even after one lesson I'm feeling so much more confident practicing on my own. Stoked for more lessons to come, highly recommend working with Themba!

Perfect! Themba is amazing! I have a Hercules Impulse 200MK2 and no experience whatsoever. I was very nervous to start DJing, but Themba immediately made me feel at ease. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He does a great job of explaining information in a clear and an accessible manner. I'm excited to continue working with Themba and highly recommend his services for any who are curious about this art form!

I am very excited for my next session with him!

Themba was extremely helpful during our Music production lessons. He explained how to use the equipment thoroughly and would provide demonstrations that were easy to follow. He was also a very approachable, easy-going and knowledgeable tutor which made lessons more enjoyable! Themba is a great music producer himself, so his expertise was also very valuable!
