The biggest brand in Swaziland

-

Thabo Mnisi, commonly know as DJ Touch Of Soul, is a house DJ and the brains behind the biggest brand in Swaziland, TOS. He moved to South Africa in 2010, starting his career at UKZN while studying Human Settlements, he won the Redbull campus clash 2013, introduced TOS to us in 2016 and now, it has gone international and he is a DJ at one of the biggest entertainment venues South Africa, Eyadini Lounge and the exclusive night club AZAR.




🔥Tell me a bit about yourself...
My name is Thabo Mnisi, born and raised in Mbabane Swaziland. I attended St Marks Primary and High School.

🔥How did deejaying come about and when did you decide to pursue it as a career...
Deejaying came about through my love for music. I wanted to share good music with more people then I pursued it as a career when I was in University.






🔥You have brought to us the biggest brand in Swaziland...was fashion ever part of you

Fashion was never part of me. I'm not stylish whatsoever. I found myself in the fashion industry (Gods plan).

 🔥Who does the amazing TOS merchandise designs
My team and I collectively  throw ideas and come up with something fresh.

 🔥How did you actually make TOS to be the biggest brand in Swaziland and get it to go internationally

Its easy to market a dope brand. I used social media mostly and did a lot of give aways to the right and influential people. I'm lucky to meet these people at events.

🔥What message would you give to young brand owners who want to grow their brands like you did 

I would advise young brand owners to keep true to themselves, keep their designs fresh and high quality, collaborate with other people, and invest in marketing.





 🔥What is your secret to success


 My secret to success is thinking and acting positive.

Combine your passion and talent, then associate yourself with the right people, then have faith in yourself, in your work, and in your God. ✊🏾
