DJ Tunez

Born in 1989 as Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, DJ Tunez moves between Nigerian roots and a musical upbringing built in South Brooklyn, New York, where he begins by hosting community parties and then events linked to the African diaspora. His path develops at the crossroads of afrobeats, dancehall, house, hip-hop and R&B, with a DJ and producer footprint focused on smooth, danceable tracks calibrated for the club without losing a pop anchor. DJ Tunez joined Starboy Entertainment in 2015, within Wizkid’s circle, marking an important milestone in his international visibility. His production grows with «Iskaba» alongside Wande Coal in 2017, followed by a string of tracks and collaborations that place him in the flow between Lagos, New York and the Afro-diasporic scene, such as «Turn Up» with Wizkid and Reekado Banks in 2018, «Gbese» with Wizkid in 2019, or «Pami» with Wizkid, Adekunle Gold and Omah Lay in 2020. DJ Tunez develops parallel to this his Blackout parties, which have become a regular meeting point for Afrobeat audiences in New York, and extends this dynamic through Tunez Radio, a space where curation, broadcasting and club culture mingle.
