For years, the artist whose real name is Gideon Alorgbey has continued to ink his name on the minds of music enthusiasts having worked with the likes of Nigeria’s Ckay, Teni, Ice Prince and in Ghana, Wendy Shay, Fameye, Daphne, DopeNation, VVIP among others.
In a chat with Graphic Showbiz, DJ Sly King mentioned that even though this is the not the first time he has received nominations at Ghana DJ Awards, he was excited to be competing for the biggest award on the night.
“It has been a long way but I am here today because of perseverance, consistency and hard work. It is even more heartwarming to be the artiste with the highest nominations,” he stated.
