At 25 years of age Olaiya Olatunde Abdul-lateef A.K.A. DJ Bamzyriches has carved a niche for himself as a Disc Jockey of international standard. He left Nigeria 4 years ago to ply his craft in South Africa when Nigeria didn't offer much in terms of opportunities. In a little more than two years after honing his skills to near perfection he is sharing the stage with the best in the crafts like DJ Mophorisa, DJ Tira and many others. According to him, the best decision he has ever made was to leave his birth country of Nigeria to South Africa. It was in South Africa good fortune smiled upon him and his life changed completely. Not only has he made a name for himself, he has also taken his craft to many countries of the world like Canada, Greece, UAE, to mention just a few.
“While in Nigeria it was very difficult for me to chase my dream of becoming a DJ or a singer. To blow in the Nigerian music scene is very difficult. As an upcoming artiste, everyone look down on you and make no move to help but here in South Africa it’s a different ball gall. They give you opportunities here. Since I moved here four years ago things have really changed. I have had many opportunities, including travelling to many countries of the world,” he recalled in a recent interview.
“In Nigeria, there are little opportunities to pursue my DJ dream so I had to relocate to chase my dream and became noticeable as an uptown DJ. As a DJ I am proud of what I have achieved so far. I plan my own gigs and events all around the world and I have my own car and all equipment to work and explore. These are things not easily achievable in Nigeria. It has been great so far here. I’ve met some DJs here that we worked together and it has been fun ..new opportunities everyday, ” he added.
DJ Bamzyriches relocated to South Africa in 2016 but started life as a professional Disc Jockey in 2018. He was born April 9, 1995 in Lagos State.
He hails from Akure South local government area of Ondo State. He grew up in Sango Otta, Ogun State and attended Iganmode Grammar School, Sango Otta, Ogun State. He studied Accounting at Ekiti State University.
