If you had an opportunity to be someone else for a day who would it be and why?
Dj Funkmaster Flex, I just love the way he djs and the energy he brings to the art of djiing, when I saw him live I was in awe, I would like to know whats going on in that right brain of his when he is on the decks
In your opinion what makes a good Dj
What makes a good Dj in my opinion is one that is able present as radio Dj, get the crowd going as a Club Dj and also able to pack a punch as a Mobile Dj, if you can encompass all three as a Dj then you are well on your way to becoming the finest.
Who is your favourite Naija Dj?
Kola Baiye of former Ace Club, Peak Club and Fantasy in my mind this mans timing is impeccable, his mixing is second to none and his volume control is amazing, I have seen many Djs mix and blend, however Kola's mixing is mind blowing.
What is your take on the current Nigerian Music scene?
The Nigerian music scene has come along way from where it used to be a good few years ago, when I moved over here in the 90s there were hardly any African Clubs, but now there are so many clubs that play African music particularly Nigerian music. One thing we need to get right in Nigeria is the Copyright laws and the paying of royalties to artist, if an Artists song is used he or she should be remunerated and there should be certain bodies in Nigeria who ensure this happens.
