South Londoner, Tendai, goes by the name of Petite Deejay and she specialises in deejaying a blend of Deep, Soulful, Afro and South African House music.

Her vibrant and energetic DJ sets can be heard in venues and events across London including The Hilton Park Lane Hotel, Zimfest Festival, Southbank, Fashion Shows and regular spots in Shoreditch, Brixton, Vauxhall and The City, delivering her distinctive DJ sets full of drums and beats infused with sultry vocals.

Resident DJ for South Africa Tourism UK, Tendai plays a range of South African Music for audiences of all ages; from the more authentic Zulu sounds, to the 90’s Kwaito sounds, right up to the modern day South African House sounds – alongside Deep, Soulful and Afro House Music, for other Residencies including Rhythm n Funk.

Tendai has hosted several radio shows and her “Soul Seductive Sessions” mixes have been aired on shows worldwide from Romania to South Africa, including interviewing South African artists to educate listeners on the sounds she herself was heavily influenced by. Having met her favourite Afro House music artists, including Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, Anane and Louie Vega and Boddhi Satva, and having played alongside the likes of DJeff Afrozila and Zepharin Saint, Tendai vowed to fly the flag and become one of the go to people for South African and Afro House mixes in the UK and globally online.
