The generalisation in Nigeria states that disc jockeying is a female business.

As with many other professions in the entertainment industry the males are a dominant force. Think up your favorite DJs in the country and the most likely names to hit you will be DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Caise, DJ Xclusive and a couple of others.

But the females are staging a tour de force. Nigerian female DJs have long been in existence, but due to a number of challenging factors, they have been on the side-lines, working in relative obscurity and getting their skill right.

But within the past half-decade, we have seen a push to the front-lines by a number of female DJs who have bucked the repressive trend and aspired to more. They have made their mark in many ways, and Pulse Music presents the top five female Disc Jockeys in Nigeria.

DJ Cuppy is a peculiar personality in this game of Nigerian Entertainment throne. She tops this list due to her current role in leading the charge for female DJs.

Bursting onto the scene fully in 2014 after the <a href="http://pulse.ng/celebrities/dj-cuppy-celeb-dj-covers-her-birth-names-on-her-presidential-inauguration-pass-id3808297.html" id="fedca172-449a-5265-995d-7f3d7f522947">completion of her Business and Economics degree at King’s College London</a>, the pretty disc jockey had to struggle for two things; creating a personality that is not reliant on her father’s image, and also, getting the needed acceptance as a music entity.

<a href="http://pulse.ng/music/house-of-cuppy-femi-otedolas-daughter-dj-cuppy-releases-compilation-mix-id3012470.html" id="6af8fbd1-9e5f-5341-afda-594072ff2a31">‘House of Cuppy 1’ was a game-changer for Cuppy in 2014.</a> An 8-track remix of great songs including Kcee’s ‘Limpopo’, it was the first official body of work from the House genre which Cuppy Champions. It signalled her intent for uniqueness, as she somewhat arrogantly shuns the Afro pop culture, instead, sanitising it for personal artistic gain.

015 has brought ‘House of Cuppy 2’, another rinse and repeat of the first mix, albeit with comedy skits, and improved sound engineering giving it a fresh feel. Cuppy’s growth in this regard is tangible. Juxtaposing her two compilations will confirm that.

Olawanmi Okeryi, also known as DJ Lambogini is the personal DJ for Africa’s number one rapper M.I

Her story is simple. She started out her career as an OAP in Ray Power 100.5FM and then moved on to Rhthym 94.7 FM, also to Love 104.5 FM in Abuja before starting off as a DJ.
