Jacaranda FM demonstrates an unwavering commitment to supporting South African music by playing the very best local tracks daily. A shining example of this dedication is Danny Painter, a host who has emerged as a pivotal advocate for the country’s music industry.

A Voice for Local Talent

Over the past year, Danny Painter has conducted 129 interviews and debuted numerous tracks by local artists across genres such as pop, hip-hop, amapiano, rock, and afro house. Through her efforts, she has provided an exceptional platform for both established and emerging artists to showcase their talent, amplifying South Africa's vibrant music scene.

Painter’s popular shows, ‘Love Songs With Danny Painter’ (Monday to Thursday, 19:00–22:00) and The CTM Top 40 (Saturdays, 10:00–14:00), have become essential listening for music lovers keen to discover the next big South African stars.

An Artist’s Advocate

Known for her thoughtful and empathetic interviews, Danny has earned admiration from artists and listeners alike. Her ability to connect with musicians on a personal level ensures every song and artist is celebrated, fostering a deep connection between the public and South Africa’s rich music culture.

Celebrating South African Music

Danny’s passion extends beyond interviews. Reflecting on the nation’s eclectic music, she highlights its diversity:
“We have 11 cultures, 11 languages, and at some point, they intertwine, creating a fusion. We’re not afraid to experiment, to innovate.”

This openness, Painter explains, enables unique collaborations, blending traditional and modern sounds. From fusing Gqom beats with rock to crafting entirely new genres, South Africa's music scene is thriving under this creative spirit.

Rising Stars and Industry Highlights

Painter frequently shares her favourite discoveries, praising artists such as PHFAT for electrifying live performances, Lee Cole for his emotive single ‘Blind,’ and emerging talents like SaxbyTwins, Simone Govender, and CHXRL. She also champions TikTok-discovered stars like Freddy L and Ben Die Afrikaan, whom she calls “a young Koos Kombuis, but cooler.”

A Legacy in Music

Music is in Painter’s DNA. With a father, DJ Choc, as a legendary producer, a mother, Sandy Ngwenya, as an entertainment icon, and an uncle, DJ ZAN-D, as a hip-hop pioneer, her deep connection to the industry is undeniable. Painter herself has contributed as a creator, with house music tracks to her name and a strong affinity for South African pop.

Beyond Local Borders

In addition to her support for South African artists, Painter has nearly doubled her interview count by connecting with international musicians, showcasing her versatility and broad musical interests.

A Platform for Empowerment

Through her relentless passion, Danny Painter continues to elevate South African music, providing invaluable exposure for local talent and fostering a stronger, more connected music community. Her work aligns seamlessly with Jacaranda FM’s broader mission to uplift local communities and culture.
