DJ Cuppy is a Nigerian music producer and the daughter of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola.<\/p>\n

In the [Interview->http:\/\/www.sde.co.ke\/pulse\/article\/2000172771\/cupful-of-music-meet-one-of-most-influential-female-djs-worldwide-dj-cuppy] published by The Standard Digital News Website, DJ Cuppy says \u201cI am currently on an African tour of eight countries. The tour is dubbed Cuppy Takes Africa. I have toured Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana and now Kenya, since the beginning of this month. I am leaving for Tanzania this week, and will then visit Rwanda, Uganda and finally South Africa.\u201c<\/p>\n

DJ Cuppy began her career as a DJ at 16 in London, buying second-hand equipment and playing in clubs.<\/p>\n

DJ Cuppy represents a new generation of women who want to venture into an industry regardless of the fact that it could be a male-dominated field. \u201cI have become more of a fighter now, more than I used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, she was the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards in Durban.<\/p>\n

She then played at the Tatler and Christie\u2019s Art Ball in London and the Financial Times Luxury Summit in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

In July 2014, she released House of Cuppy, her first compilation mix in both London and Lagos.<\/p>\n

She then had a launch for House of Cuppy in New York City on September 2, 2014 where she recently moved.<\/p>\n

In January 2015, she was featured on the cover of the Guardian Life magazine alongside Yemi Alade, Fade Ogunro, Stephanie Coker, Yagazie Emezi and Ronke Bamisedun. <\/p>\n

The magazine celebrated these six women and called them the “new generation women”.<\/p>\n

In March 2015, she was the official DJ for the 2015 Oil Barons Charity in Dubai, and the first African act to have ever performed at the event.<\/p>\n

She is currently an intern at Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. As a producer, DJ Cuppy describes her sound as “Neo-Afrobeats” which is a fusion of Electro house and Afrobeats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
