DJ Obi is one of Nigeria’s most sought after DJs. He’s been invited to play at high profile events around the world, including the MTV Mama Awards in South Africa, the UK’s MOBO music awards, and at the afterparty of the star-studded Met Gala in New York.

Obi’s House, his Monday night party in Lagos, is the place to be for music lovers, and this summer Obi has brought Obi's House to the UK and the US as well.

DJ Obi is keeping it in the family: he’s the son of Levi Ajuonuma, best known for hosting the Open House Party show on Ray Power FM.

In this show DJ Obi tells DJ Edu why he won’t limit himself to just one musical genre, and how his popular Obi’s House parties evolved from a purely online event during the Covid pandemic.
