You don’t often find an article dedicated and celebrating London based British-African DJ’s but this read is just that. With vendors, clubs, hotels, celebrants, wedding planners and those just simply looking for a good night out or reliable talent that entertain their guests at their next show – the question of ‘Where can I find a good Afrobeats/African DJ for my event?’ may come into mind.
We all know that the DJ has become so much more than the person who stands behind the speakers and plays music. When choosing your DJ, keep in mind that this is your master of ceremonies; the best DJ’s need to be booked early (as early as 12-18 months in advance) and this means you need to find someone now. Below are 20 trending London-based DJ’s that can set your African event’s entertainment up and running:
