Bee Deejay’s versatile taste enables him to navigate different production styles effortlessly. Born "Bereng Phokeng" in Paarl Western Cape and further raised in the township of Mbekweni, Bee earned his stripes one set at a time before performing at reputable festivals such as Rocking The Daisies and Cape Town Electronic Music Festival. In the early 2010s, Bee introduced himself with an array of Afro-house singles. He tapped into gqom in the mid-2010's as Cape Town’s take on gqom incorporates synths, keys, and melodies lifted from vintage South African gospel. This is illustrated on Bee Deejay’s 2021 single “Ndincede.” By wearing several hats (including being a former resident DJ for 4 years at one of South Africa’s biggest radio stations, Metro FM), Bee Deejay is always in tune with new sounds and trends that he showcases in his mixes—so It came as no surprise when amapiano started turning up in his music at the dawn of the 2020s.
