from discogs.org:

Elvis Maswanganyi well know as DJ Mujava, hails from Pretoria, South Africa, in a township called Attridgeville. He was raised in a family of 5 with a father, two sisters and two brothers.
From all the family members, he was the only one who had love for music as he used to be a dancer and he spent his spare time practicing with a small keyboard that he had at home.
He was inspired by the likes of DJ Fresh (12), Oskido ,Masters At Work, Revolution (3), Loop Masters.

DJ Mujava had to learn the hard way, by striving very hard to get a way of knowing how to programme music. His brother sacrificed not to throw himself a party and decided to buy Mujava a computer, so he could learn and master his production skills.
Cry, a Gospel producer, who had an independent company called CSP. suggested to Mujava that they should try a house project. The two then started a company called House Therapy Productions.
After establishing himself in the market, he then decided to spread his wings further by joining his production (Mujava's Music Production & Entertainment) with Sheer House.
He has since then, produced music for the likes of Bujo Mujo, Casablanca (DJ Floit), DJ Cee, Ghetto Skwatt a Hip Hop Group & Simon Makhatholele a Gospel singer.
In the year 2004, BOP (6) featured one of their songs on their album The D Project : Life 'Iskorokoro Bop Killer [Featuring Zulu & Costa].
