Jeremiah Onyeka, (a.k.a DJ Maya) says he enjoys music because he likes to entertain people through various forms of music. When performing on stage, DJ Maya keeps the audience on their feet that they usually ask for more time for him because of his uniqueness and dexterity on the wheels. DJ Maya is the Chief Executive Officer of Da Main Beat Global Entertainment.
He says he went into production as a Disc Jockey (DJ) because he ventured into singing, but could not make it because he couldn’t get a good record label to promote his works.
He is fulfilled and has no regrets dumping music for DJ. Talking about challenges, DJ Maya said, “ it is the ability to satisfy my audience. Some fans love Hip-hop, R&B, or Reggae, so he tries to work hard to satisfy them.” Knowing the kind of music that I will play during a show depends on the people that attend the show.
It makes me to play the kind of music that the young at heart would like and the kind of music that the elderly ones will also like. “ Being a DJ requires that the individual must devote his time, energy, money and resources. There are so many people out there, who call themselves DJ, but in the real sense, they are not. You have to get modern equipment. You have to devote more time in practicing in order to bring your best before going for a show. “ My role models are DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Humility, DJ Vinny and DJ Cardo because I love their works. I hope to be like them and do better than them.”
I have a show called Rap Battle for tertiary institutions in the country and upcoming DJs are given the opportunity to compete with one another and showcase their talents to the fans. “ My message to my fans is that, they should continue to support me and I promise not to let them down but will always strive to give them the best form of entertainment as a DJ” he said.
