IN CONVERSATION WITH NELCASA, COKZIN AND CON FIELLA

Loading player...
De Joint Production is the collaborative vision of three talented South African music producers and DJs: Cokzin (Collen Ralinala), Kon Fiella (Olsen Nwandula), and Nelcasa (Andre Nhalungo). Together, they have created a vibrant music label that is rapidly becoming synonymous with innovation in the amapiano genre.
Each member brings a unique story and musical influence. Cokzin grew up in Chiawelo, Soweto; Kon Fiella hails from Nkuzana Village; and Nelcasa calls Lawley, south of Johannesburg, home. Their early encounters with music shaped their individual styles and fueled a shared passion for pushing musical boundaries.
More than just a music group, De Joint Production serves as a launchpad for their own creative projects and a nurturing platform for emerging talent. The trio has worked with notable artists such as ChillyboyRSA, Heaven Oh Jay, and Pava Rottiev, but their collaboration with Ceeka RSA and Ntshiza Diesel on the acclaimed track Life Is Good stands out, cementing their reputation within South Africa’s music landscape.
While their production spans several genres, their heartbeat remains firmly in amapiano — a genre celebrated for its infectious rhythms, rich melodies, and deep connection to South African street culture. Beyond their musical achievements, De Joint Production is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of artists and continually redefining what’s possible in the country’s vibrant music scene.
