Passion and determination is all it takes to achieve success - for this young lady, Passion is KEY. Judging from the first time I heard her spin the wheels to my first conversation with her, I could feel the drive for perfection and success...... Promise Emmanuel is her name but we call her DJ Burna!
DJ Burna is an Abuja-based female DJ who is by far one of the finest and most sought-after DJs in the city. She has been featured on shows like Jimmy Jump-off, AY Live, the Legendary Tuface Idibia's concerts and lots more. She also played for Nigeria's First Lady Mrs Aisha Buhari in a party and I have to emphasise on the fact that the first lady was thrilled by her performance....
She hails from Abia state which is located in the Eastern part of Nigeria and is the fourth child out of a family of 5. She obtained a degree in English and Literature from the prestigious University of Abuja but her love for music pushed her into becoming what she is celebrated for today. They say good traits can be transferred from parents to their children.... I agree!... DJ Burna comes from a family of music and turntable lovers as her father use to be a DJ and her brother is also a DJ known as DJ YoungGee. Her brother played a huge part in her success as he tutored her, paved a way by making her walk into limelight easily. Her other mentors include DJ Puffy, DJ LadyStyle and Martin Garrix. Outside the disc jockey life, she loves to travel, listen to music and entertain people.
In all honesty and humility, DJ Burna admits to the fact that she faces a lot of challenges being a female in a male dominated industry......
"Most times, my talent is underestimated by fellow DJs, clients, gig organisers and club owners which puts me on the edge to give them my best and to God be the glory I always deliver. Some male DJs even go as far as insisting I play first before them so they can play at the peak of an event just because they feel they are more superior. Also, being a successful lady in the industry, there is a lot of envy but I thank God for my mum and sisters who support me financially and of course, spiritually!"
