DJ Championship to unearth new talents

As a measure to make Disc Jockeying an attractive sector in the entertainment industry, a company, BPM-One, will hold the first DJ Championship at the Silver lounge, Accra Mall, on Wednesday, December 24.

The competition, which is being sponsored by Red Bull Energy Drink, is asking interested DJs post a performance video of themselves to an official website, www.facebook.com/bpm1dj. A panel of judges including Andy Dosty of Adom FM and Master Jay of Live FM will then select the best 10 DJs to face it off on the day.

The Disc Jockeying business has over the years churned out some of the well known names in showbiz such as DJ Blakk and DJ Mensah, and according to the organisers, the maiden edition of the DJ Championship will provide the platform to unearth other young and budding talents in the field.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the Marketing Manager for Red Bull, Bismark Odoom, said his outfit’s decision to be involved in the competition was to “give young and passionate DJs the opportunity to showcase their talents”.
