Interview: @thutothehuman Speaks On Winning The @RemyMartinSA Producers Competition & His Popular Single ‘Ke Dipatjie'

Rémy Martin brought back their much loved series, Remy Producers, in 2022 since the 2019 inaugural season. The competition hosted a variety of producers in an intimate setting where they all connected in a three-day shoot as they competed for an opportunity to perform alongside Major League DJz in Dubai. 

Pretoria producer Thuto The Human won the competition this year. His single 'Ke Dipatjie’, which features Mellow And Sleazy, created buzz on the internet for him. The single serves as the lead single to his forthcoming project 'Peng Huns Love Sgija' as well as collaborative merchandise with Leo Virgo. 

We got to have a partial sit down with Thuto the human before his departure for Dubai. Below is the interview that breaks down Thuto's journey in the competition as well as his future plans.

How does it feel being a winner of this year's Remy Producers competition?

Honestly, it feels like a breakthrough. My win was a result of a whole year's worth of consistent hard work so it felt very rewarding when I won.

What was it like being on set with the Major League DJz and other prominent producers in the industry?

It felt like home, like I'm in a place full of like-minded people who have the same goals and ambitions as me.

Are you excited about the Dubai trip and what do you plan on doing that side aside from gigging?

I'm super pumped for Dubai, I'm excited that I get to play there but also I'm excited to go do a little sightseeing and to try out all the different foods they have there.

With your song 'Ke Dipatje' trending on social media, did you anticipate the love it would receive from the fans across the country?

Everything about that song was unexpected, from the creation of the song itself to the reaction and love from the people, which I'm very grateful for.
