Dallas T

Dallas T, real name Tello Leballo is a radio DJ from Maseru, Lesotho with over ten years of broadcasting experience. He was the first to have a show on national radio campaigning for the active promotion of local rap music on the airwaves. It’s artists like Dallas T who made it possible for audiences to gravitate towards hip-hop, a genre which was traditionally the reserve of outcasts and American wannabes.

In 2014, he performed alongside a star-studded lineup of artistes at the annual Toyota 1 000 Dessert Race Music Festival at the Jwaneng Town Council Stadium in Botswana. Dallas T has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, both as a performer and mentor for local artists through his radio show The Knock Off which airs on Ultimate Radio. He has also organised different shows in a bid to promote local acts and give them exposure.
