Apple Music has released this month’s Africa Now DJ Mix featuring renowned Afrobeats DJ and entrepreneur, DJ OBI (real name Obinna Levi Ajuonuma). Known for his relentless efforts to promote African music globally, DJ OBI continues to make waves by bringing Afrobeats to audiences worldwide.
“It’s a great time to see the impact African music is making on different stages worldwide,” DJ OBI shared with Apple Music. “This mix is a representation of the wealth of talent that Africa has and we are constantly showcasing to the world.”
Born and raised in Lagos, DJ OBI was deeply influenced by his father, who worked in TV and radio, and his passion for the entertainment industry was ignited from a young age. After witnessing DJ Jimmy Jatt’s mastery over music and crowd control, DJ OBI was inspired to pursue a career in DJing.
Despite initial challenges breaking into the Nigerian music scene upon his return from the U.S. in 2012, DJ OBI’s career took off after he set the Guinness World Record for the longest DJ set in 2016, spinning for an astounding 10 days straight. During the 2020 global lockdown, he launched Obi’s House, a virtual live session that quickly transitioned into a physical event post-restrictions. Today, Obi’s House is one of the fastest-growing parties in Lagos, attracting some of the biggest names in music.
You can listen to DJ OBI’s ‘Africa Now: August 2024 (DJ Mix)’ on Apple Music. For more African music, check out Apple Music’s Africa Now dedicated space, which includes a weekly radio show and companion playlist.
