In secondary school, he was a rapper and a confessed studio rat. At the same time, he developed a keen interest in deejaying. As fate would have it, he was transferred from the studio section at Bogobiri to the deejaying section. This is how his DJ career started.
On what to expect from him at “Jameson Distillery On Tour” event, he said his signature style and playlist while on the wheel of steel stands him out any day anytime.
“As a DJ, you should be able to have your own unique style and sound, and trust me, I can’t be left behind, credit also goes to all the great remixers that have their own unique remixes/mashups. I think I should be comparing myself to the likes of DJ Massive, DJ Kush, DJ Yk, DJ Aye!, DJ Mellowshe, DJ Consequence and some others.
My mission is to promote, not just afrobeats music but good music. As a DJ, you should be able to know how to operate technical equipment. You should be able to socialise. As a DJ, you must know how to read your crowd and play the music accordingly. A great DJ must have good equipment and the ability to use it and you must be creative. So, expect top notch performance from me as usual,” he said.
DJ Venum is also a sound engineer who started out as a rap artist.
