Born Sifiso Mjoli, DJ Fisherman was born KwaNdengezi

(township on the west of Durban). Sifiso went to school in

the area and when in High School he developed an interest
in House Music after hearing so much good music at the
time. Julien Jabres Jungle song was the one that took
Fisherman in to the music.
It was the era of Frankie Knuckles, Kenny Dope, Gregory,
Robbiera and of course Louis Vega that inspired
DJ Fisherman to want to follow suit and produce good house
music just like them.
He then learned the art of deejaying in 2002 and
immediately started playing around taverns and talent shows
in his township, but it wasnt enough for an ambitious
musical genuis. He then taught himself beat-making on
FROOTY LOOPS software and it didnt take him long to
produce his first bedroom studio song.
He took time to perfect his beat making skills on Fruity Loops
and eventually solely produced his first dance track called
Mhlabe in 2005 and sampled local djs for free and in
return the song earned him respect and popularity in and
around Durban as it ruled dance floor and played on
everything that had speakers the (KwaZulu-Natal) province.
As a good result he received a call from the duo Durbans
Finest (DJ Tira and Sox) in 2006, the two super mega djs
were running the South African dance seen to date when
they heard DJ FISHERMANs underground track called
Mhlabe and were keen on meeting and working with the
young talent on their upcoming project.
Being under DJ Tiras wing instantly opened doors for him as
he got a chance to produce a track called (House Animation)
which was released internationally by Franck Roger at Real
Tone Records.
The same album featured well respected South African
producers, namely Black Coffee and DJ Cleo, the track was
also released locally on DJ Cndos Finest Lady of House
Volume 1 in 2007.
DJ FISHERMAN finally got the ball rolling with Durbans
Finest in 2007 when he produced the smash hit Uyoysholo
Wena featuring Big NUZ marking his arrival in the
mainstream. DJ FISHERMAN produced four tracks in total
on Durbans Finest classic Uyoy Sholo Wena album.
In 2009 he worked with South Africas number one boy
band, Big NUZ on their second studio album titled
Undisputed where he produced Umlilo a single that
escalated Big Nuz newer heights helping the group sell its
first multi-platunum album winning each and every award
the group was nominated for notably the SAMA 16 (Song Of
The Year Award)
