Profiles of young Nigerian DJs are now on meteoric rise and they are indeed getting due recognition just like the new waves of Afrobeats artistes that are rocking the international scene with their new sounds.
One of the progenitors of the new global movement is the skillful Aluko Samson Omobola, professionally known by his stage name as “DJ Scoophy”.
DJ Scoophy kick-started his career in 2016 by playing around Virtual DJ (a software for DJs) while schooling at Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba.
He was born and raised in Ketu, Lagos State but hails from Osun state, Nigeria. He’s a street boy who has a love for music and is also passionate about being a known DJ.
He honed his skills under the tutelage of the popular DJ Kaywise and graduated from Kaywise Academy in the year 2019. One of his mentors is DJ Obiondeck, from whom he also learnt a lot about the craft.
Talking about the projects he is currently working on, he stated that, “I’m working on new mix-tapes and also working in collaboration with some artistes, so be expecting my new singles and hopefully an EP before the end of this year”.
Speaking further, “I’m also working on my United Kingdom tour with Nigerian-born, UK based event organizer cum travel consultant, Billique. I will be playing for my fans in London, Manchester, and Liverpool among other cities”.
