Clive Tshabalala otherwise known as Dj C-live was born in Durban North coast, May1981. After moving to the city of Gold in 1991, Johannesburg became his adopted home. ?I started seeing and hearing about the hip hop culture in high school, but I really ?listened? in grade 10, I remember the day and the feeling vividly; when hip hop made sense to me?it was beautiful!?. C-live matriculated at Athlone Boys High School on the east side of Johannesburg in 1999.
C-lives? interest for deejaying was realized during his high school years by chance, being a B-Boy at the time he would play music for the dance sessions before the resident deejays arrived at the Saturday matinee called Le Club in ?98?. Playing music for the dancers was soon changed to playing the opening sets ?because the Deejays would arrive late, before I realized it I was buying my first record!?. By watching deejays Blaze, Bionic, Bigga and Ready D rock the crowds he learnt many valuable lessons. He established a close relationship with the clubs resident deejays; Bionic and Blaze. C-live had excelled and proven himself as a good B-boy, he went on to establish Johannesburg?s first B-boy group; Static B-boys (They can be seen on a television show called Big-Yo on Saturdays on S.A.B.C 1). C-live has since left the dance group to concentrate on his music.
