0

AS the 7th edition of Jimmy Jatt’s event tagged Jimmy’s Jump Off draws to a close, the veteran DJ has spoken on why the competition this year is tagged The Festival.

In a chat with HipTV, the celebrated DJ revealed that the reason the show, which comes up today, carries the theme is because it is different from the others that have been held in the past.

He said; “this year, we will be having 21 DJs and 30 artistes. We have to make it bigger because of the theme and make sure everything goes right, thus we will be having three DJs, at every hour.”

He also revealed that one of his regrets in life as a public figure was not wearing a mask.

“I regret not wearing mask from day one. I envy Lagbaja because he can do anything and get away with it,” Jatt added.

Recall that the DJ recently celebrated his silver jubilee in a grand style, at an event attended by some of Nigeria’s big names in the entertainment industry.

AS Chocolate City held its first press conference under the leadership of its new CEO, Jude Abaga, better known as MI, The Chairman has reeled out some of the conditions artistes must possess if they must get signed on to the record label.

According to Abaga, any artiste with the intent of working under the label must be hard working and should have been able to record close to 100 songs. The person, he said, must have about 10,000 followers.

He also stated that the artiste must have a home base, meaning that he or she must first be a star wherever they are residing.

“This is very important. Because there will be no need for you to say, ‘give me a chance’. They love fame, spotlight, and money. But that is the secret. You have to be a fan of music first, because the people you call mentors have a large knowledge of music,” the ‘short black boy’ stated.

Currently, the label has the likes of Jesse Jagz, Pryse, VK, Koker, DJ Lambo, and Ruby under its wings.
