Channel O’s deejay-mixed music video show Bass-ment has a fresh new resident DJ – none other than the renowned DJ, Ms Cosmo. She joins deejay video mix masters Andy X and Pierre Pressure on the wheels of steel, adding a feminine touch as well as a fine new take on hip-hop.
“I am so excited about being part of the Channel O family. Instead of looping one video to the next, I will be bringing the club experience to Channel O fans from the comfort of their homes,” says Ms Cosmo.
Born Noni Rwaxa but known to her followers as Ms Cosmo, this Diepkloof native has been blazing the ones and twos since February 2010. “You buy a CD and end up liking two songs from an album so I used to make mixes and play them in my car. At gatherings my friends would ask me to bring them along and they suggested that since I had a good ear for music that maybe I should take if further and become a DJ,” she explains.
After taking lessons at Fuse Academy it was not long before the gigs started rolling in. Ms Cosmo has played alongside industry heavyweights like DJs Fresh, Euphonik, Black Coffee, Dimplez, Vigilante, Naves and SPHEctacula, to mention a few. It’s not all about the music though, as Ms Comso proves that getting an education is still vital as much as the next gig.
“I am currently studying towards my Honors Degree in Financial Management through the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA),” she says.
Bass-ment is broadcast every Monday to Saturday at 4pm and 11pm on Channel O.
