Marriage Makes me responsible and focused — DJ Consequence
When was the first time you knew you wanted to become a DJ?
That was during my final year in secondary school.
What are your most notable moments/performances as a DJ?
I really cannot attach the tag of ‘most notable’ to any of my gigs. I consider them all to be great events. Whenever I am called upon to play at any event, I give it my best.
What are the most embarrassing moments you have had as a DJ?
I won’t say ‘embarrassing’ but ‘frustrating’. One time last year, we travelled to a town (to play). But, when we got there, there was no water for us to bath with
What is the biggest sacrifice you have made for your career?
That would be me forfeiting the chances of playing professional basketball to become a disc jockey.
Did your parents support your decision to become a DJ from the onset?
Yes, they were supportive but with the option that I had to conclude my education.
Which DJs do you admire?
I like DJ Jazzy Jeff and Black Coffee.
What changes would you like to see in your field?
I will like to see an industry where every DJ is respected and given their accolades, whether they are up-and-coming or established.
Some people have said that DJs ought to pay royalties to artistes for playing their songs at event and public places?
I don’t think that is feasible. It is a case of us helping one another. If we don’t play their songs, how do people get to hear them?
Aside from being a DJ, what are your other interests?
I love basketball.
What is the lowest fee you have ever charged as a DJ?
That would be N1,500.
