At the moment, the COVID-19 pandemic has been by far one of my greatest challenges as it has kind of forced us, DJs, into a challenging space. With all the clubs and venues shutting down, it slowed down the money we use to pay our bills.

As a result, a lot of us DJs are using Instagram Live, Facebook Live, Youtube Live, Twitch, and recently Mixcloud Live to stream our sets. My greatest attribute when it comes to my work ethic would definitely be that I’m definitely a hustler and I’m different! I’m still learning the game and it inspires me to be better!

DJ Xclusive City is unstoppable. He’s been known for breaking records over the past years, he was the first DJ to premiere “If” with DaVido back in 2017.  And the first to break Afro B’s smash hit “Drogba (Joanna)” in the clubs.  Xclusive City was chosen back in Dec 2019 as the newest member of the world famous Da Union DJ Crew.  He now does 104.5 The Beat and iHeartRadio weekdays with Viva La Koi, weekends with DJ D-Strong and has his own live mix show Sunday VIBEZ on Sunday Nights playing the latest tunes and upcoming artists. 

 The term DJ is used to describe a wide variety of characters in today’s musical landscape.  There are DJs who are on the radio, DJs who spin at clubs, DJs who perform at festivals, DJs who produce…and then there are DJs who do it all.  That is DJ Xclusive City.
