Paris may have seemed light years away when he first started back in 2009 when his dream was to take his one-man show all over the country with the heart to set the afro house scene ablaze. The hitmaker has been able to gradually advance his career, his one-man show has grown in popularity and over the years has featured some of SA’s most talented musos including Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Black Coffee and Black Motion to name but a few.
Shimza’s one-man show has also helped the artist further his benevolent nature by sponsoring a uniform and stationary drive for underprivileged kids in the DJ’s hometown of Tembisa.
Enjoy the bright lights of the city of lights, Shimza.
