Apple Music launches Next Africa Now DJ mix featuring DJ Tunez

The next DJ to create an Africa Now DJ Mix is Nigerian-American DJ and producer, DJ Tunez, whose unique mixture of jazzy production, sticky beats and rolling Afropop drums has been employed by a large number of African acts, including Olamide, Wande Coal, and more.  

Speaking on his DJ Mix, Tunez shares that he loves curating music for listeners who don't have the time discovering new music.

“I enjoy creating these mixes because Apple Music makes an effort to amplify them and in turn it helps spread the sound to different regions of the world. Some of our listeners prefer music that is curated for them because they don’t have the time or simply don’t want to worry about choosing the next song to listen to. I started out making a lot of mixes and mixtapes as a younger DJ. It helped tremendously and made me a household name in my local community. These mixes take me back to what I love doing, curating music for the masses! Check out some of my current favourite music. I also threw a couple of unreleased records in the mix just for you guys!”

Being brought up in a household with both African and Caribbean influences exposed DJ Tunez to a multitude of genres, as he honed his mixing talents at the tender age of 11 where he brought speakers and played music at different church events. Today when he’s not performing, Tunez can be found in the studio working with a myriad of different artists from Wizkid and Burna Boy, to Chris Brown and H.E.R.
