Pretoria Producer Opens Up at Corona Never Ending Sunsets
South African producer and DJ Calvin Fallo continues to enjoy the momentum of his breakout hit “Everybody Wants To Be In Love,” a song that has resonated with audiences across the country and become one of the most talked-about records on dance floors and social media platforms alike.
Speaking to TheJournalistDJ.com during Corona Never Ending Sunsets at Summit Grill Rooftop in Pretoria this past weekend, the Mamelodi-born artist reflected on the success of the record and the emotional inspiration behind its creation.
A Song Built on Emotion
According to Calvin Fallo, the song’s widespread appeal comes from its authenticity and emotional foundation.
“It’s just a beautiful song that I made out of emotions. That’s why it’s connecting with a whole lot of people like that,” he explained.
The impact of the track was evident during his performance at the event, where enthusiastic fans demanded an encore after hearing the song. The response from the crowd ultimately led to him playing the record twice during his set.
“It was actually the crowd. They were chanting, ‘Encore, encore, encore,’ so I had to,” he said.
A Proud Son of Mamelodi
While many fans are only recently discovering Calvin Fallo, the producer has spent years refining his craft and building his reputation within South Africa’s music scene.
Describing himself simply, he said:
“Calvin Fallo is just a boy from Kasi, Mamelodi, born and bred in Pretoria. I’m a lover of music and a dope producer.”
His humble outlook and dedication to music have helped him connect with listeners who appreciate both his artistry and authenticity.
TikTok Helped Drive the Song’s Success
The success of “Everybody Wants To Be In Love” has been linked to strong support on social media, particularly TikTok, where users embraced the song and helped expose it to wider audiences.
Although many observers point to the endorsement he received from popular radio personality Sol Phenduka as a major turning point, Calvin believes the fans deserve much of the credit.
“It would be unfair to give credit to that only because the people on TikTok were the ones who actually pushed the song. Sol was just a catalyst to take it to another level.”
The producer added that he personally thanked Sol Phenduka for the support and exposure he provided.
New Music on the Way
With momentum firmly behind him, Calvin Fallo is already focused on the next chapter of his career.
The producer revealed that he is currently working on a new album, while also considering releasing an EP in the coming weeks to keep fans engaged while the larger project takes shape.
“I think I’m going to start working on an album. Maybe I’ll give out an EP in the next coming weeks just for people to have something while I work on something. But I’m working on a dope album.”
As “Everybody Wants To Be In Love” continues to gain traction and introduce new audiences to his music, Calvin Fallo appears poised to build on one of the biggest moments of his career and further cement his place within South Africa’s thriving dance music landscape.
