Welcome to Paul & Shark, South Africa! We're excited to make your fashion acquaintance, and in the true spirit of South African Flair, we've put together a little something that embodies both 'local is lekker' and the 'calling of the open seas'. Join us as we become acquainted with one of South Africa's most loved DJs - the man who of the moment- DJ Stokie!
'Music, much like the ocean, creates a ripple effect
of emotion that ebbs and flows where it will, softening
the blows of life and conquering unchartered territory."
- Paul & Shark.
Thanks to the constant support of NGOs such as Shark
Trust, this year 100 new shark species have joined
the list of animals protected by the convention.
DJ Stokie, real name Setoki Mbatha, is but one of the trailblazers of the fast-growing global genre of the hugely popular Amapiano music, instrumentally helping to craft the distinct and dynamic sound. His sound, better known as 'Private School Piano', is a mash-up of different musical categories that accommodates music lovers worldwide. 'Private School Piano' mixes various genres of music, from soulful to deep house and deep tech, moving listeners to dance to the sound of each unique beat.
The 41-year-old hitmaker with smash-hits such as Superman, Soke S'bone and Ipiano e'Soweto has recently dropped his latest album titled "Journey Continues". This newest album contains uplifting amapiano beats, his signature sound blended with deep basslines, infectious rhythms, and catchy beats, making it easy to understand why he was nominated in this year "South African Amapiano Awards" in the category of 'Best Amapiano Private School Act.'
Now that we know who this man of the moment is, here's the Paul & Shark apparel and footwear he chose to embody his unique sense of style.
