Sowetan born DJ Andzo D-Note, real name Andile Vuso, happens to be one fellow whom his name is on evertone’s lips in his community. Having an ear for music at the age of 8, Andzo D-Note’s love for music started when he visited his uncle’s room while he was preparing to go to work and Andzo would make it a habit to go to his uncle’s room just to listen to classical music and loved singing to Johnny Clegg’s The Crossing (Osiyeza) before going to school. He grew up in an era when Jazz, Disco, Soul, Hip Hop, Kwaito and Funk were genres which were the focal point during that time, however his love for music was when Deep House began to make an impact in the late 90’s. This genre began to manifest and that’s when his love for music grew even more through Deep House when the first song he listened to was What Do I Gotta Do by Roland Clark featuring Urban Soul, which was on Vinny Da Vinci’s House Afrika Vol 1 album.

In his teens, around age 15, kids his age were listening to mainstream music, to which at that time, was Kwaito and Hip Hop, however for Andzo D-note it was more than that. He was more fascinated more with chords, rhythm and melody through Deep House that had vocals in every song that was made. He took an interest in music when he studied Sound Engineering at Damelin Braamfontein and that’s when he began his music production and Djing in 2007. Throughout the entire course, he became fascinated with knowing other genres of music, including Classical, Smooth Jazz, Bossa Nova, Lounge, Uptempo etc, it became personal to the point he became learning the skill of DJing via his classmates when vinyls (LP) were still at their prime and he became to hone his skill of DJing and also began his music production skill at that time.

He also played a role in VaalSow’s hit song Hade Mabebeza with his former classmate and closest friend William Earl W Green Makume, who now has released singles such as Blow My Mind with George Lesley and his latest single Vibez with V-Underground. Currently Andzo D-Note has been focused in doing mixes of different genres and has played in numerous events and has met influential people in his line of work and still continues to do his music with Earl W Green. He is currently working on an EP which he plans to release later in the year and his wish is to work with both local and international acts and has decided to broaden his musical intellect on a broader scale.
