Guinness Book of Record holder, DJ Obi who is the current world record holder for DJ with the longest set afterย DJing for 229 hours and 58 minutes. He took a break to speak about his record breaking feat with Pulse.ng.
Here is what he said, enjoy!
โItโs overwhelming, but itโs good, itโs overwhelming because Iโm usually just a private person, I like to just do my thing and be quiet about it, but now I have to talk to everybody, Iโm still very sleepy, so Iโm trying to sleep but at the same time I have to do it, you know, the press rounds and interviews and stuff like that, but itโs great, you know, this is why we did it, this is why we decided to try and break a world record so we could get the name and brand out there.
โMy purpose is to be different and diverse and itโs easier to do that if you just sit down and look at the route that everybody follows.
“Thereโs a problem with the Nigerian entertainment industry but there is also a solution for anyone thatโs trying to be different.
“Nigerian artistes try to be like the successful ones, they want to sound like Wiz, they want to sound like Flavour, they want to sound like Davido, they want to sound like 2face, the female ones want to be like a Tiwa, or a Yemi Alade.
“So no oneโs trying to be different, same thing with the DJs, one DJ releases a music video, a music track, everybody wants to do the same thing, everybody forgets that thereโs still the basic deejaying to do โ bringing the party to life, breaking new records, if all the DJs are releasing music videos and music records, who is breaking their recordsโฆ
โFrom the day I decided to do it, to me it was done already, I just needed ย to actually execute it, and also with prayers, so as you can see everyone is talking about it as if itโs not humanly possible, it really isnโt human, God really did help me out,ย I prayed and dedicated this thing to God from day one into Godโs hands.โ
