In an interview with Observer Online on Saturday night, DJ Russ Buss shared his fondest memory of his late colleague. “My fondest memory by far of Kovert, was the first time seeing him playing in the SunCity High School DJ competition during the preliminary rounds, and I listened to his transitions and how he played; I knew he would have won," said Russ Buss. "I was impressed the first time that I saw him play. He reminded me so much of myself when I started playing music, how much he loved it, his humility and he had a lot of manners. He loved the craft and had such a bright future ahead of him. ” DJ Zacky, a close friend of DJ Kovert, shared his condolences and reflected on their friendship in a detailed post on Instagram. “One DM turned us from strangers to brothers.

That’s the kind of person you were, and I’ll truly miss that about you. ” DJ TZ (left) and DJ Kovert In an emotional post on Instagram, DJ TZ recalled when he learnt about DJ Kovert’s crash. “I saw you the night of and we did a laugh and a run bare jokes a Ribbiz, to then get a call in the morning seh yuh crash bro.
