Dj Sose – The Tattooed Faced Dj
Born to a musically gifted Nigerian Father and a Hungarian mother, Dj Sose’s life became immersed with music right from childhood. He embraced the sounds of music and began thinking of ways to ensure that music would play a pivotal role in his life even then. However, it was never just one genre that managed to intrigue the ‘Tattooed faced Dj’. From the diverse range of music surrounding him, Sose became captivated by sounds from afro beats, to classical, to jazz, to hip hop, to rock, to EDM and the list goes on.

Besides playing popular commercial or contemporary music, Sose is no musical snob. If the track is good, he’ll play it. He has lived abroad, mainly in the UK for 14 years, and while he was there he got a degree in business information systems, a diploma in film & video production and managed several music projects allowing his dream to materialize by turning his passion into a profession and has helped others reach their path of self-realization within the music industry.
