OLAWANMI OKERYI, also known as DJ Lambogini is signed to Loopy Music and is the personal DJ for Africa’s Number One Rapper MI. You may all be wondering, how she got here, but the story is simple. She started out her career as an OAP in Ray Power 100.5FM and then moved on to Rhthym 94.7 FM, also to Love 104.5 FM in Abuja before starting off as a DJ.
She taught herself how to DJ and officially started out as a DJ in 2009. She DJ’d at California lounge, Aramis and Oxygen club in Abuja and at other events and shows in Lagos, getting better each day till she met up with MI who thought she was dope. Presently she is his personal DJ and occasionally opens up for Award winning DJ, DJ Caise.
Her passion to mix sounds started as a child, she was introduced to Music from Kool and the Gang to African Bamabata, Naughty by Nature, Public Enemy, DJ Premier and numerous other DJ mixes. But one of the greatest motivations and inspirations was, Her father, the famous DJ Tony Lewis. “We always had parties- lots of music and dance,” she recalls.
Many have reminded her of her gender, discouraging her from the field, but DJ Lambo has turned a deaf ear and is determined to do what she loves and knows best, with hopes of becoming the biggest DJ in Africa.
Her sound is a blend of house, techno, Afro pop and hip hop with immaculate skills. She is a performing DJ that knows one thing how to have fun with music.
DJ Lambo has been nominated for Best African Female DJ in the African Global DJ Awards AGDA.
With a lot of surprises coming your way this year, a collaboration with Mr. Incredible himself dropping soon and an all female club bangger here is a feel of her African Mix called, 'THAT NEW SHIT'
