A royal chat with the guy behind Urban Royalty

Mika Stefano: When did you get into planning events?
Lord Petertinashe Paradza: I've been doing events for a couple of years now. In 2007 I focused on private invite only events but in 2008 Urban Royalty took off on large open events for JHB

Mika Stefano: What was your first event?
Lord Petertinashe Paradza: My first event was the Gang of Gangsters Party in 2007, it was an Exclusive Party Held A Private Apartment It Was A Birthday Celebration,Urban Royalty, however,was officially launched in February 2008 at The Blue Magic Party At M&A Sandton

Mika Stefano: Have you ever had a flop of an event? If yes, please share?
Lord Petertinashe Paradza: Yea, I think everyone in the game has had their share of disapointments and Im no exception. Sometime last year I got into a partnership with a popular radio personality to do an event,no names mentioned ,but he totally screwed the entire arrangement and I've got to say that was quite a disappointing event for me; needless to say I got mine back...

Mika Stefano: Your last event at St Tropez was crazy! Why do you think it was so successful?
Lord Petertinashe Paradza: I think it was a combination of factors, firstly As Urban Royalty we have an extremely great following and a BIG THANK YOU to all Urban Royalty people...You own the night. Secondly a large amount of work was dedicated to making the event a success and in addition the venue St Tropez is one of JHB's finest venues and was fitting for the event. The line up was also crazy Milkshake, Dimplez,Fixx and JHB's newest talent Dj Tipsy + add Ntha-Tc(BlackMoney) as performer and JHB's most glamorous people to the picture and the result was one of the craziest swagga-filled parties I have ever seen.

Mika Stefano: What is Urban Royalty?
Lord Petertinashe Paradza: Urban Royalty is one of Joburg's Premier Lifestyle Brands: It Espouses All That Is HipHop, Swag and All That Is Exclusive. Urban Royalty has played Host to some of JHB's Most Glamourous People Through Some of the Hottest & Most Exclusive Events; Urban Royalty is Committed To JHB and as such regularly partners with Brands such as Patron, Juju, Converse, among others, to promote HipHop, Swag and to link JHB's Finest people through the Absolute Best In Entertainment.
