The Daring Deeply Show

AsandaLondon

I am your host AsandaLondon, tuning in every week from London. I'm devoted to championing the sounds of South African Deep house. My name is actually Neelam. I first got the name 'Asanda' on a British scheme trip to Eastern Cape 8 years ago. In Feb 2023, I went to Cape Town and discovered South African Deep House. When I got back to London I worked on getting my home setup to start learning to DJ from my bedroom in Nov 2023. I kept Asanda as my stage name. In Nov 2024, I started the Daring Deeply show on EXT Radio. Since then I've played at notable deep house spaces across South Africa on my 3 month 'training tour' in 2025, such as Born2House, Altitude and Zen63 as well as in the UK at Natives, Abantu and Sondela. I am so blessed to have a monthly residency on MetroFM’s Urban Beat and I'm working on my first compilation, Daring Deeply Volume 1. Thank you so much for listening.

    Daring Deeply with Miči - Interview with SA house music vocalist

    I had such a wonderful time chatting to Miči about her artist journey since 2021. And what an ARTIST she is. I hope you enjoy this as much as we both did in the EXT studio. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/micimusic/ Here's Miči's bio if you want to read more: Zimbabwean-born, London-bred artist Miči is an Afrohouse vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Drawing inspiration from jazz, neo-soul, gospel, indie, and folk music, her sound blends emotional songwriting with Afro-electronic and house influences. Miči’s musical journey began in church, where she first discovered her voice, later learning guitar and piano during her teenage years in London. Her approach to music is deeply intuitive: she often visualises full arrangements before they are created. Her work gained notable recognition on the South African house scene in 2021 through collaborations with prominent artists including Lemon & Herb, TekniQ, Kid Fonque, China Charmeleon, and Sun-El Musician. These collaborations helped establish her as a distinctive voice within the contemporary Afrohouse landscape. In 2024, Miči released the collaborative album 'feelings' with the Kenyan label Gondwana, featuring contributions from leading South African Afrohouse producers and artists. The project further expanded her international network and positioned her within a growing transnational Afro-electronic community. Miči’s artistic journey has taken her across the Netherlands, Kenya, and South Africa, where she has engaged with diverse creative scenes and built cross-cultural collaborations. Beyond performance, Miči also composes and co-produces her music and is currently working toward a new body of work that reflects her evolving artistic voice.
