The DJ Man champions female talent through soul music

As South Africa prepares to celebrate Women's Day in August, radio personality Ismail Abrahams, known to thousands as The DJ Man, says one day isn't enough. 'For me, every day is a chance to celebrate women, not just on Women's Day or Valentine's Day,' he told TshisaLIVE. 'And what better way to do that than through music?' A staple on Metro FM's late-night airwaves for more than 15 years, The DJ Man has built his name on soul and R&B sounds he says serve as 'memory markers' in people's lives. But his mission goes deeper than curating slow jams and love anthems. He's also made it his personal commitment to uplift female DJs. This August, The DJ Man is sharing the stage with women at select events, but he's quick to point out this isn't just a Women's Month initiative. 'I've been intentional about giving female DJs a platform throughout the year, especially in the soul and R&B space,' he said. 'There's enough room for everyone. We just need to make space.' Known for his smooth delivery and nostalgic sets filled with the likes of Anita Baker, Luther Vandross and Tevin Campbell, The DJ Man's shows have become sanctuaries for listeners seeking connection, healing and joy. He started his radio journey at P4 Radio Durban (now Gagasi FM), before moving to his dream slot on Metro FM. 'Night radio is intimate,' he said. 'It's where people open up — and I've always wanted to be a part of that space.' His influence extends far beyond the studio. His weekend soul sessions — dubbed 'Saturday Soul' by fans — have become signature events around the country. 'People want music that feeds the soul. These sessions are booming.'
