Los Angeles, March 15th, 2018 – One of South Africa’s top Afro-house composers / producers / DJ’s, Heavy-K, has signed to the talent division of Celebrity Services Africa (C.S.A) on a global management deal.

We believe the world is ready for the beat of Heavy-K,” says Davin Phillips, executive director, talent, Celebrity Services Africa.
