Mabi ''Mobi Dixon'' Ntuli (born March 12, 1986) is an East London based producer and house DeeJay who is currently the second fastest selling artist in the province, as of December 2014 after the Soil (Music Mix). After his release of City Rains with M.Que he received recognition from countless platforms across South Africa, thus making him one of the fastest growing artists in the country.

In 2007, he started his own recording label, Dance is Kulcha Records until 2014 where he changed it into a production company called “Mobi Dixon Productions” with his home studio. He said when he was still in Johannesburg he realised there were not many Eastern Cape DJ's making noise in the industry. “I decided to come back and nurture unearthed talent in the Eastern Cape; I was not feeling our music presence nationally. I came across very talented people that I’ve worked with the likes of Asanda Msaki Lusaseni, Sipho Mtsatse from Wise Fools, Unusual Suspects and Transkei Republic”.
During his interview, Mobi said that that is where his love for music became real “I would rub shoulders with big industry DJ's like Christos and Fresh as a campus DJ. Seeing them living my dream made me believe it was possible for me as well”.
While in university he kept on making music and exploring in the craft and it was only a matter of time till his passion took over his heart.
During his time as a student in 2008 he got his 1 big break when he won the AXE/DJU remix competition. He took the crown for the best remix out of over 500 delegates who were part of the Southern African Music Conference that year. According to his statement “This was a major milestone in my career as I got more recognition and was introduced to DJ Sbu, Oskido and other DJU members Vinny Da Vinci, Greg Maloka, Christos and DJ Fresh.”
In September 2013 Mobi signed a deal with South Africa’s leading house music record label Soul Candi to release his debut digital EP “Tribal Soul". The three song EP was released on the biggest music download sites in the world including iTunes, Traxsource and Amazon.
Although Mobi is a producer and DJ, he said he did not regret studying and equipping himself with all the relevant skills he acquired over the years.
