Career

During his formative years, DJ Tunez was already demonstrating his musical prowess by spinning records at Christmas parties hosted by his local church. This early exposure allowed him to develop his skills, gaining confidence as he DJ’d for church members, including weddings and birthday celebrations. As he started to gain attention for his eclectic blend of afrobeat and dancehall-inspired tracks, the young DJ became motivated to showcase his talents beyond the church community.

In 2007, DJ Tunez‘s father asked him to curate the music for their church’s Christmas party, which proved a turning point in his career. For the next couple of years, he wove together a blend of classic African hits and contemporary pop tracks, eventually gaining recognition from churchgoers who started to book him for events outside the church. The sound of his performances resonated with the African community in South Brooklyn, drawing more and more people to his events.

It wasn’t long before DJ Tunez began collaborating with other DJs in the Caribbean music scene, broadening his musical palette and introducing new sounds to his sets. Despite the slow adoption of afrobeat by the hip-hop industry, DJ Tunez‘s unique fusion of different genres began to captivate listeners, especially with hits like Flavour‘s Nwa Baby and Timaya‘s Bum Bum.

As his reputation grew, DJ Tunez found himself attracting the attention of the Nigerian community, where his mother served as his manager. His ability to transport his audiences on a musical journey that spans different nations and cultures became a signature element of his performances. When he’s not busy headlining clubs and private events, DJ Tunez can often be found in the recording studio, working with local, national, and international musicians to craft a sound increasingly in demand.

One of DJ Tunez‘s most noteworthy achievements was the collaboration with Wande Coal, which produced Nigeria’s second-best song of 2017. His star continues to rise with hits like Gbese and Turn Up, which featured Wizkid and Reekado Banks, and the addition of Rema‘s vocals. It’s no surprise that DJ Tunez‘s Black Friday “Blackout” event drew a massive crowd of over 1,700 attendees, cementing his place as one of the most exciting and innovative DJs in the business.
