DJ Cleo On Working With Brickz
DJ Cleo On Working With Brickz. House music veteran DJ Cleo has opened up about his experiences working with Convicted Kwaito star Sipho ‘Brickz’ Ndlovu. The two had worked together in the past and decided to create some song together again while Brickz was undergoing trial.
“We have a very close relationship and after the fall out he apologised. We kept in touch, but I was waiting for the rape case to conclude so that we could start working. It was just taking forever,” Cleo said Speaking To TshisaLive.
Brickz was found guilty of rape and sentenced last month to 15 years in prison. Cleo said that the law had taken its course and he could not comment on Brickz’ claims that he was innocent.
“It is not my place to say whether or not he is guilty. I think the law has taken its course and highly qualified people handled the matter so, based on that, he has to serve his time and take it like a man,” he said.
Speaking further on and about music, he revealed that he will now be releasing music free to his fans via whatsapp.
“Piracy has killed sales and retailers are closing down. The future is streaming, but even being number one on iTunes means nothing because you can’t make big money out of it. I think that music in 2020 is a place where sales are non-existent and everyone is sharing music via social media. That is where the music is. That is why we barely get 50 new artists a year. Artists should be embracing these platforms, but it means there is a loss of income to artists and labels,” he added
