Who is UnReplaceable DJ Shaka & tell us brief about the name?
Cool DJ Shaka Is A Name And Also A Brand That Has Been In Existence, Like i always say am a Disc Jockey from the Southern part of the Country (Rivers State) And i was raise In The City Of Port Harcourt where i stay with me and my mother while my dad stays with my siblings in a different environment around the city.
The name Shaka was given to me by my Grandpa i grow up hearing everyone calling me Shaka and when i started doing music things i decided to go back in details of this name and discover it was a great name ( Born To Rule). Here we are.
What inspired your passion for music and who has been there supporting you from the beginning?
Honestly It started when i was ten than we use to visit a studio around the neighbourhood called Endwell Studio where we have Newman as ( DJ Nelly) and Anebo as ( Director). I often go here not on tin one day i asked the DJ to help me do a Mixtape then we had turn table, you remember now. Then we do Cassette. We used to call it dubbed in those days we don’t call it Record. He dubbed the cassette for me where he did foreign songs mixed with Tony Tetula, Plantasun Boiz and others then.
I loved the mix and i later called him one day that i we love to learn if he can train me on how to become a DJ? But initially i never dreamt to be a DJ i had loved to be an Artiste. I love singing alot back than. He said there was no problem but the challenges i had then was that he likes money while i Didn't have as much to offer. So for that we only meet at every festive period and after that i would go around some other DJ train myself. It was very challenging. He firstly told me to go listen to music and on air play first which i keep doing the more i listened to music the more i have passion. I was just asking myself, how we i know how to mix this song's, i would just mix it. There was That curiosity, anticipation and determination to know more about the profession. I thank God today that all had been a good history for me. No doubt, i’m one of the best in my game. Shoutout to ( Mr 2-0ne my cousin and Luubee) for there supports much respect.
The style you used to brand yourself is different from other DJs, how did you get that concept?
As
Far As Entertainment Is Concerned In Nigeria, We All Know That We Need
Packaging. We Must Be Different Also. If You Want Something Different,
You Have To Be Very Creative. If You Really Want To Remain On Top, You
Have To Distinguish Yourself From Other People. This Is What Will Make
You Big. If You are Different, Some People Will Be Imitating You As
Their Role Model.
Being one of the best DJ at the moment was that part of the reasons why most of the Radio Stations are calling on you?
If you say so but seriously I was discovered by Mr Frank who was director of Radio Personnels and he always take me along with him before now,
I was working for some couple of organisations as there online promoter and online hypeman joined with my street Mixtape which i drop every three three months . I also did series of job for them outside music. Mr Frank later called me to come play at one Radio Station at Enugu. Where he instructed me to play for just 30minutes which i did, From then i always perform at midnight programs in any station visited. Hence, It got to this level of my career.
What Was Your Challenges and difficulties as a DJ?
Yea there were lots of difficulties and challenges while growing up as a DJ. To buy dj equipment has been a major issue if i collect two thousand naira show then, It was a very big money for me. I was using deck and another one was numark. I would use two hundred out of the two thousand as transport to a friend place to rent amplifier and deck for the show. By the time i would get to the event place my cloths and trouser would have been very dirty an i we be using my cloths to clean my face with sweat. At the end people we work up to me and be congratulating me that they enjoyed my play and that th party was fun i feel so happy because that was my Main objective and all glory goes back to God Almighty!!!!Bless.
Whenever you want to perform, what do you do and how do you get your music selected?
First And Foremost, I Am Very Equipped In Term Of The Genres Of Music I Want To Play. I Have My Laptop Loaded With Music. Sometimes, I Cross- Check Everything And See What I Am Lacking In Terms Of New Songs That Might Just Not Be In The Right Places. On A Daily Basis, I Am Buying Music Online; And Also Going Through My Mails Checking Out Who Sent Me What And Where I Am Needed At Any Point In Time. Some Times When I Play Outside The Country I Intend To Enjoy DJ More Because People Accept More Genres Of Music I Would Play A Bit Of Reggae, A Bit Of Calypso Hip Pop, RnB, Afro Play A Bit Of Everything.
