Bruce Manzi, one of the show organizers, told The New Times, the event is in line with Blackout’s one-year anniversary in Rwanda’s entertainment industry while also giving its followers the best experience with one of the most trending DJs in the world.
"DJames is one of the leading DJs globally today, and we believe he can put up a big show in Kigali. We promise people excellent performances from renowned experienced DJs and immaculate vibes throughout the show. Don’t miss it!” Manzi said.
Currently residing in London, United Kingdom, DJames has built a fan base which spans Europe, Africa, The Caribbean and Northern America through his remixes, mixtapes and live shows.
In 2019, he was selected from hundreds of online entrants to compete in the national final of the world’s biggest DJ competition. A panel of former World Champions chose DJames based on his originality, technical ability, and reading of the crowd to crown him the new Red Bull 3Style UK Champion.
While his sound is heavily influenced by AfroBeats, Dancehall and Soca, it is his ability to seamlessly transition between so many genres that has caught the attention of the likes of Drake, The Weekend, Burna Boy, Asake, Chris Brown, Stefflon Don and Sean Kingston, all of whom he has joined on their UK tours to play sold out shows.
