Rising Nigerian DJ, Hassan Kayode Bello better known as DJ Hazan has said Nigerians need to stop under-pricing DJs.
DJ Hazan who has collaborated with the likes of Olamide and Patoranking noted that he started out as a rapper before falling in love with the art of deejaying.
“I started off as a rapper in my secondary school days with the likes of Vector and General Pype . After secondary school, I decided to have more affection and love for music .Trust me, back then I listened to radio a lot and loved the way DJs back spin those records on radio . That was how my passion for deejaying was birthed”, he told TheNewsGuru.
The Mass Communication graduate of Lagos State University also revealed his frustrations about being a DJ in Nigeria.
Hazan noted that in his estimation, about 60 percent of Nigerians have respect for DJs .
“My frustration as a DJ is that sometimes Nigerians under-price our service. Being a DJ is beyond changing of songs. DJ equipments are expensive and we shouldn’t be priced like you are pricing tomato in a market. Outside Nigeria, DJs are treated like gods”.
DJ Hazan who has worked with Nigerian rapper, Olamide said: “Olamide is a very humble guy.He loves my song ‘Early momo’ featuring Patoranking. Shout out to Olamide, King Baddo”.
