Shimza Booking Agency Profile
Shimza, actual name Ashley Raphala, is without a doubt one of South Africa's greatest talents and has advanced from up-and-coming industry prodigy to a global afro house scene leader at a nearly rapid rate.
Since he was a teen, the DJ, producer and promoter from Tembisa has been developing his musical talents with the help and support of his family. And his subsequent rise to fame is littered with achievements that are too numerous to list, but which include everything from single-handedly hosting his One Man Show event brand, a sizable outdoor party held every Christmas Day to raise money for underprivileged children, to winning a string of high-profile DJ competitions.
Nonetheless, Shimza hasn't held back from demonstrating that his natural musical brilliance and unmatched technical mastery are in no way overshadowed by his philanthropic heart. Shimza joined the roster of Black Coffee and Culoe De Song, two well-known international performers, after signing with the Soulistic Music record company. Shimza has become one of South Africa's top house music producers over the past several years thanks to the publication of his full-length album Shimuzic as well as countless collaborations and hits including "African Woman" and "Akulalwa."
Many loving fans have given Shimza the nicknames "Effect Master" and "Vinyl Assassin" and his playing style is contagious and inventive. Dance floors are left breathless by how skillfully Shimza punctuates his performances with intricate queuing and repeats as he strings together his afro-tech vibe..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Shimza to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Shimza in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Shimza or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Shimza's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Shimza for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Shimza, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Shimza. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Shimza booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Shimza for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Shimza booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Shimza charge for an event. An example fee to book Shimza is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Shimza agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Shimza manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Shimza for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Shimza agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Shimza, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Shimza booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Shimza, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
