Having been voted SA’s TOP 5 Hip Hop DJ, in the MTN HYPE AWARDS 2010, it’s no surprise that Leo Large is a favourite when it comes to DJ selection for events. He has performed at virtually all clubs and hotspots around Cape Town and Johannesburg, from St Yves in Camps Bay, over the superclub Hush in Johannesburg to the popular Mzoli’s Place in Gugulethu, just showing Leo Large’s special ability to read any crowd.

Leo Large is well known as “La mfana womlungu okwazuk’dlala” i.e. “the white boy that can play”.

Mozambique, Namibia and of course Germany are also regularly visited by “the white boy that can play” and the other requests across the country are steadily growing.

Leo Large infuses advanced mixing techniques with his special ability to read any crowd, which brings life to every party the minute he steps behind the decks!

LEO LARGE FT. FRITZZ THE CAT

Leo Large comes as a double threat in the music industry as he has teamed up with his old friend and production partner Fritzz The Cat. They have developed a new type of live performance fusing the elements of Studio production and composition with the art of djaying. You just have to experience it with your own eyes and ears.

These two music fanatics not only deliver a hot performance but they’ve also made a name for themselves in the music industry as highly talented music producers. Being signed under Get Large Music they have produced tracks for the likes of Skwatta Kamp, Slikour, Prokid, JR, L-Tido, Proverb, Jozi, which most have been nominated for SAMA and Hype Awards.

Not only do they stand for sheer talent and entertainment, but also bring professionalism to the table. They are punctual, well mannered, interact with the crowd, and always give of their best.
See it for yourself at their upcoming gigs e.g. Mozambique Fashion Week or Rock The Boat 2011.
