Ten years from now, it’s only God that knows where I would be. I don’t know if I would still be a DJ ten years from now but if I’m I should be on the top ten chart of female DJs in the world. Already, I’m on the top ten charts of female DJs in Africa and I want my name to be house hold on the continent and beyond.
