Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has started working with DJ Da Capo amid a shared love of music production.

Rabada and the producer recently met at the Red Bull Studio in Cape Town.

‘Music has always been around me and my family, especially in church. My father grew up in church and I have a number of family members who are in the gospel scene and growing up I always watched my cousin, who was a DJ, do his thing,’ IOL quoted Rabada as saying.

‘I have produced a couple of house tracks before that I have not released because I just saw this as a hobby, and although it still is a hobby I am happy to be working with someone like Da Capo, who is known for his house music across the globe.

‘I have enjoyed the exchange of ideas between Da Capo and I, but I don’t want to put any pressure on myself because cricket is still my first love but we have put together some great stuff.’

Rabada was a member of the Proteas squad for the 2019 World Cup in the United Kingdom and has been named in the T20I and Test squads for the September and October tour of India. He was named the Fans’ Player of the Year at the Cricket South Africa awards earlier this month.
