5 thigs to know before booking a Nigerian DJ for your event

How to book a Nigerian DJ without stress

One of the most important decisions when planning an event in Nigeria is choosing the right DJ.

 A good DJ doesn’t just play songs, they set the tone, manage the energy in the room, and keep your guests entertained from start to finish. But finding and booking the right one can feel like a stressful task if you don’t know where to start.

Before you rush to book, here are a few things to consider:

1. Know your event type
Different DJs excel at different occasions. Some are great at weddings, others specialize in clubs, while some thrive at corporate events. Make sure you choose one who understands the vibe you’re going for.

2. Check their music style
A DJ might be popular, but does their playlist suit your crowd? If your guests love Afrobeats and amapiano, a DJ who focuses on house or EDM might not be the right fit.

3. Look at reviews and reputation
Word of mouth, past client reviews, and event footage can tell you a lot about a DJ’s professionalism and ability to keep a crowd engaged.

4. Clarify equipment needs
Some DJs bring their own sound system and lights, while others expect you to provide them. Always confirm this beforehand to avoid last-minute surprises.

5. Budget and availability
Big-name DJs come with bigger price tags and busier schedules. It’s always best to lock in your booking early and confirm costs upfront.

Now, while all of these steps are important, the actual process of finding and booking the right DJ can still feel like a hassle. That’s why platforms like Epoh Music are changing the game.
