It started with a simple love for music. But for Kgaugelo Moloto, that passion eventually led to a career in the music industry, spinning records for thousands of adoring fans. Kgaugelo Moloto fell in love with the sound of Afrotech and CDJs after sitting in for some female DJ’s set that was a regular at House 22 Pretoria, in 2010. There and then, Kgaugelo knew she wanted to be a DJ.
Kgaugelo Moloto is a Polokwane; Ladanna aspiring Disk Jockey and Radio Presenter, popularly known as Miss K. Kgaugelo started her DJing career in January 2021, has worked alongside DJ Calypso Wa Polokwane and other DJs to sharpen her skills. “Little did I know that my passion would one day take me from the dance floor to the sound booth, bringing joy and excitement to those who listens to my sets.
Around 2010, Kgaugelo tried to register at Fuse Academy with no success. Fuse Academy was then owned by the Umlilo hitmaker, DJ Zinhle that Miss K realy looks up to, and today closed. That time, all Miss K wanted was to jump behind the DJ booth and make people merry. The unsuccessful application got her drained and frustrated, but she never gave up.
In 2016 Kgaugelo decided to go back to school. “l wanted to go for DJing lessons at Soul Candy’s school of DJing, which my Mom refused to pay the required fees. Not because she didn’t believe in my dreams. It was merely because she didn’t believe in music as a stable career, instead she and I opted for a Beauty course”. Kgaogelo is a professional Beauty Therapiest, she has a Diploma in IT Networking, she is a qualified Teacher, and the proud founder of MKG Development and Projects Company that was established in 2013.
Kgaugelo is a motivated, enthusiastic and a hardworking person. She currently works as the energetic Event Coordinator, Journalist and ‘The Mix’ host at the Gateway FM in Polokwane, after she has worked for Heita FM for few months before her break at the Gateway in 2022. Miss K is a former resident of Ngobs Chisanyama from 2021-2022 in Nobody, now closed down. She is currently at Gamblers resident in Polokwane CBD since 2023.
Miss K tells us she has played live at Mughana Loneni FM and Phalaphala FM, and her mixtape was played at Thobela FM. She has shared stage with the likes of Master KG and Mr Brown. She would love to work with Lamiez Holworthy, DJ Zinhle, Da Capo, Cairo and Black Coffee, to name a few. “I have pushed hard for gigs. It might be once a month where I don’t get bookings, especially when I have personal errands that cannot be compromised”. When Miss K is not on radio, behind the DJ booth or swamped in a lot of MKG paperwork, she says she enjoys going out on solo dates, reading and travelling, which helps her recharge before going back to reality.
After a long tiring weekend of back-to-back gigs, Miss K says she enjoys dinning on some Kasi meals from different spots in Polokwane. “It’s never the perfect end of the weekend without the taste of Pap, Wors, Steak, Fish and Chakalaka, sprinkled with some peri-peri. These gets me refreshened and ready to kickstart the new week” Said Miss K.
