Rowick Stevens “AKA” Rowick Deep passion for music started at an early stage and it was influenced by visiting his uncle during school holidays.His uncle was a DJ and manager of a popular club that was based in Mabopane at Morula Sun. He had an opportunity to learn how to DJ, by playing around with his uncle’s equipment. He got his first gig at a year-end function which was organized for the Morula Sun staff members. He developed a love for  house music by listening to his uncle’s disco and dance records . He started playing at a lot of major gigs that were organised at Morula Sun and also in and around the Mabopane and Ga-Rankuwa areas. Here he met one of the big name dj’s of the area called “Positive K”. Positive K showed him the final touches of how to perfect his dj’ing skills. After a few years, Rowick got the opportunity to get involved in mixing and compiling two major music projects called 45 BPM by the Heavy D Krew and House vs. Latino with fellow DJ friend - Vernon. 45 BPM became one of the biggest selling dance compilations. He held a residency at one of Pretoria’s hottest night clubs, Voodoo Lounge with Sisco, Bubbles and BlackCoffee.  After a few years of Djing, Rowick took a break from the industry for 4 years. Where he ventured into other fields. Music was still his passion. After he met with his long time friend, Sisco and attended the first South African Music Conference, Rowick decided to give up a fruitful career and go back to the music industry. He joined Multi-Racial Records to follow his dream and because of his DJ experience producing was a logical step. After working for a year as a lecture  for Multi-Racial’s DJ course, and looking at Sis ‘n’ Jones and a few other producers producing their tracks, he eventually started producing his own tracks. The first two tracks he ever produced were featured on DJ’s at Work - Love Generation - mixed and compiled by Christos and Vinni Da Vinci and another one was featured on Phezulu Selection Vol 1, mixed and compiled by DJ Mbuso.

He continued to produce and compile mix tapes featuring his own tracks on them. He gave his friend one of his mix tapes and that friend gave it to one of the partners of Loxion Kulca (A fashion label). Wandi from Loxion Kulca enjoyed the music and liked his mixing style, and booked him for one of their private events. Rowick went on to DJ at all Loxion Kulca’s functions. Rowick and Wandi formed a good working relationship, where the concept of mixing music and fashion was formed. They decided to release the first Loxion House Kulca compilation that was mixed and compiled by Rowick. This is were Rowick got his real platform to showcase his production skills, and got the opportunity to work with his old friend Blackcoffee and other well known producers like Artjones, Blackwhole, Nasty Nev, just to name a few.

He went on to do the second edition in the Loxion House Kulca series, which gained him a lot of respect in the music industry, with tracks like “People with Bullets”-Rowick Deep Remix, “That thing” which did well overseas, “I Want you” was a big track as well as “Make It” which received a lot of radio air play on stations like Yfm, Metro Fm and other big radio stations. Some of his tracks started to be licensed by other well known DJs for their compilations. With all his achievements in the music industry, he is now one of the hottest and well respected house music producers in the country.
