African Global DJ Awards 2013 (AGDA),
an awards ceremony created to honour DJs in Africa and around the world
is set to hold its new edition in South Africa.
Organized by a group of media professionals; Mohammed Alfa of Stronghold Entertainment, Kolawole Ajayi of Kollertunz and Tope Esan of Stats Media, the awards will hold on the May 4, 2013 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
According to the organisers, the need for the award is as a result of the fact that ‘ A DJ is that person who connects the people to the music but he is hardly ever acknowledged’.
BEATPOINTS has gathered that the award will be spread through 16 categories
ranging from regional to a global demography and also taking into
consideration, the female DJs who are thriving in a predominantly male
profession.
The awards night will be hosted by Barbz of Big Brother fame, Denrele Edun of Channel O, rapper Navio from Uganda, DJ Jam Jam from United Kingdom and Adams of Nigeria’s SoundCity.
Winners will be decided by a panel of judges selected from different countries, likely to be headed by Nigeria’s legendary DJ Jimmy JATT.
