In Atlanta, I was a celebrity but became an upcoming act in Nigeria – Davido’s offical DJ, DJ Ecool

Ebianga Ikpeme, better known by his stage name, DJ Ecool, is the official disc jockey for Davido Music Worldwide boss, Davido. DJ Ecool, who was signed to the record label years ago in this interview with OLAITAN GANIU, shares his experience working with the hip hop artiste, his latest single, ‘Personally’ among other issues.No, after I released the single, Ada with Davido, I did another follow-up titled, 4u featuring Peruzzi and Davido.

Then, I was famous in school because I was so brainy. I was studying Calculus 1, 2 and Differential Equations. I got home telling my mum to shift the choir practice from Friday night to Saturday because I didn’t want it to affect my every Friday nights’ play. My mum happens to be a pastor in a church; she was like ‘how will she tell the congregation that my son is playing in a night club?’ It was a strong decision for me but I was determined to make money through disc jockeying.

You know, every artiste needs that DJ who can really give them that hype to turn up their audience. Different events kept joining us together and because I was already establishing as a disc jockey, he always respected my decision. His personal assistant, Kamal, would call, ‘Hey, Ecool, David get gig tomorrow, abeg make you show ooo.’ Then, I didn’t ask for money for travelling from him. I would just arrange the ticket and join them where he was booked.

For example, as we were about to start the performance at the Wireless Festival in London last year, I noticed that my laptop was malfunctioning. I was like, they will abuse Africa here today because we were the one representing Africa on that global stage.
