The Art of War Competition is one week away and will see six DJs competing for supremacy, bragging rights for a year, cash prizes and trophies.
As the countdown continues, Guyana Times Entertainment is pleased to introduce to you Dorrel Romeo aka DJ Magnum – one of the participants in the competition.
The 30-year-old hails from the West Bank of Demerara and Brooklyn, New York. Romeo, the 2018 Armageddon champion, began his deejaying career at 21. He previously played with the Big Life Sound, but currently plays for Notorious International.
He has been in the sound business for nine years. DJ Magnum has competed in 10 clashes and has won six trophies. His preferred musical weapons of choice are dub plates and 45s.
Romeo’s focus as a deejay is to put Guyana out there globally. He received his inspiration in the deejaying business from Jamaica’s Bounty Killer and Tony Matterhorn. DJ Magnum believes that his strongest qualities are his fluency and stage performance.
His most memorable moment as a DJ was when he lost to DJ Puffy in a clash held at the National Park. It taught him that clashes are not all about “badman and killing tunes” but also connecting with the crowd.
DJ Magnum teams up with his Selector Seen Up to make a powerful duo, creating waves in the entertainment industry.
If you want to see DJ Magnum in action, be sure to come out on July 28 at the Sports Hall tarmac. For more information on Art of War 2018, you can check the Facebook page “Empire Media Inc”.
