DJs are critical to this phenomenal growth and one of the DJs who are making it to happen is fast rising DJ, Seriki Abiodun Saheed popularly known as DJ Dan Bull, a wizard behind the turntable.

Speaking about his foray into entertainment, “starting out is tough but I had to endure. I have to face all the challenges and obstacle squarely. Some of the challenges are acceptability by the people and also funds to get latest equipment and necessary gadgets. One must be dogged in whatever one chooses to do and you only need to keep your eyes on the goal and stay focus. Perseverance and patience are very important in everything”.
DJ Dan Bull also expressed his disappointment on the ways DJs are not been giving due recognition and props in the industry. “I strongly believe DJs are pivotal to the growth of the Nigerian music industry, especially the current Afrobeats movement but we are not getting due recognitions by the players.

I read the mood of the people while playing and give them what will make them feel good and jump on the dance floor. A good DJ should be able to read the mood of a party or an event. I do not limit myself to a particular genre of music. I also love to research and explore other genre of music, especial foreign music”.
