| DJ Tunez recounts how he became Wizkid's DJ |
DJ Tunez has opened up about the moment Wizkid invited him to become his official DJ, a move that marked the start of a partnership now spanning eight years.
Speaking in an interview with BBC 1Xtra, the US-based Nigerian DJ revealed that his journey began in the African diaspora scene in America, where he gained a following by hosting Afrocentric events.
As his name grew, he sought to build stronger ties with the Nigerian community.
During one of his December trips to Lagos, Tunez, who had already exchanged messages with Wizkid online, finally met the singer in person.
“He said, ‘I need you to be my DJ. We are going to take over the world,’” Tunez recalled.
That meeting kicked off a successful working relationship that has seen Tunez join Wizkid on global stages, including the singer’s record-breaking three-night sold-out run at London’s O2 Arena.
Over the years, they’ve also collaborated on music, including a recent track with rising artist Fola.
As part of Wizkid’s Starboy imprint, DJ Tunez continues to release his own projects in partnership with Sony Music’s RCA, further cementing his place as one of Afrobeats’ most prominent DJs.
