DJ Sophia: A Rising Star in South Africa’s Music Scene

DJ Sophia, a young and talented musician from South Africa, has already established herself as a prominent figure in the country’s music scene. At just nine years old, she is a resident DJ on GoodHope FM’s The Good Vibes Show with DJ Ready D. But her talents extend beyond music, as she recently demonstrated through her altruistic endeavors.

The Winter Drive for the Elderly

During the June school holidays, while her peers were indulging in leisurely pursuits, DJ Sophia organized a winter drive for the elderly. The event took place at Wraptors Cape Town in Blaauwberg Business Park, Milnerton, showcasing her dedication to giving back to the community. Rather than wasting her time playing games or glued to her phone, the young DJ mobilized her friends, family, and fans to donate blankets and non-perishable food items for senior citizens.
