SHIMZA has become one of the most sought after spin masters across the world. His ability to take an audience on a musical journey is one of his most trusted trades.

It is his untouchable talent that he has since landed him half-way across the world as he heads to Privelege in Ibiza, Spain for a residency.

SHIMZA (real name Ashley Raphala) will be chasing summer the best way he knows how to and that is to connect people from all over the world and walks of life through music.

The club DJ and producer will kick off his residency at Privilege, Ibiza , Spain where he will officially embark on his four month blazing trail on 7 June 2018 and will headline the SuperMartXé parties every Thursday’s at Privilege until 4 October 2018.




The residency solidifies Shimza’s footprint which has led him all over the world and he has been able to take his music to places where only music is the universal language. This business man and music commander is flying the South African flag high and there are no bounds as to what he can accomplish when he sets his mind to it.

His journey began when he made his successful debut on the island in June 2016 and subsequent bookings, and now he has come full circle and has the best seat in the world that any music lover can ask for.

Commenting on his latest and exciting venture, SHIMZA said: “This is a new challenge in my growth trajectory and I believe it opens up endless possibilities on the global scene, and it is set to open new doors and take my career to new heights. It has been really amazing to witness how the global entertainment scene has been receiving South African talent and I’m humbled to be a part of this phenomenon and I’m thoroughly looking forward to the experience”




The CongoCongo hit maker will be based on the island throughout the summer season and has secured bookings in venues in countries all over Europe including Greece, Portugal, UK and the Netherlands.

He will however return to South Africa to play the local scene including his popular hit show, One Man Show Soweto Edition which is part of his DNA.

SHIMZA explained: “I am planning a huge extravaganza for my One Man Show – Soweto Edition at Zone 6 Venue on Saturday, 30th June 2018. He added: “Because I will be based in Europe it will mean a lot to me to be able once again to play for my loyal followers, the new opportunities are as a result of their consistent support.”
