Come this evening, five Disc Jockeys will take to the stage in Digicel’s “Bring the Beat” deejay competition at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
From a total of over 100 participants, it is now down to the final five who will clash for the title of best deejay and more so, a year of bragging rights.
During the semi-final round, held in Linden last Friday, 10 contestants competed and attempted to hype the crowd with a playlist dating back to the 90s. After intense competition, the judges all agreed that only five will make it to the finals.
Those selected are Jefferson Meusa (DJ Spotlight), Travis Hart (DJ Vybz), Keston Tyrell (Selector Keston), Shequille Sparman (Selector Shaqq) and Brian Joseph (DJ Bentley).
The dynamic “Bring the Beat” summer DJ competition was launched by Digicel in July, where contestants were given one week to register.
According to Digicel’s Head of Marketing, Jacqueline James at the launch, the competition was planned to target young aspiring Deejays, both male and female, who are familiar with Serato and Virtual DJ, as it will allow them to show their versatility, mixing skills, microphone skills and perform the music, not just play it.
The winners will walk away with a Pioneer DJ console and over $1 million in cash and other gift items.
