DJ Sbu Tells The Story Of Working On YFM Without Getting Paid

DJ Sbu Tells The Story Of Working On YFM Without Getting Paid. In yet another episode of inspiring the youth DJ Sbu has shared part of his story of success which includes working for free on YFM just to gain experience.

“I first visited this building over 70 times before I was hired. I would become one of the most hardest working youth in that building. Worked for almost 2 years with no cheque just serving paying my dues & learning. Being on air on the graveyard slot & doing stand ins sometimes gave me an opportunity to get paying gigs playing in clubs & bashes.

“Before joining Y as a small time popular DJ in my hood I used to play at weddings & parties charging R300 – R500 per gig. After joining Yfm I started charging R1.5k per gig. Thats how I made my money staying in a flat in Yeoville.

“I spent most of my time at Yfm. Putting in 24 hrs at times sleeping on the couch. I had no car. I was broke. But I was one of the most happiest young people in South Africa doing what I love working next great people.

“That building would go on to change my life. It made me the DJ Sbu I am today who’s gracing platforms like Harvard Business School & MIT speaking alongside billionaires & geniuses. I have been blessed and I’m highly grateful.”
