With musical influences deeply rooted in his parents’ collection of jazz, soul and gospel; and with his grandfather being a jazz musician, Durban-born Leighton Moody’s natural progression to deep, soulful house sounds is easily understood. It was this unique style that ensured his warm reception in the premier nightclubs, lounges and groove bars of Cape Town where he moved to in 1996.

A fortuitous meeting with Erefaan Pearce (77Soul) and Cassiem Latief (Syndicate Records), two other budding DJs who shared a common taste for deep house, cemented the bond. The vinyl bug bit and Leighton’s passion for DJing grew accordingly. Just a few months later he played his first gig at Baraza Groove Bar on the spectacular Camps Bay strip.
