Celebrated disc jockey Imohiosen Patrick popularly known as DJ Neptune, has spoken on the need for African creatives to own their streaming platforms, citing the continent’s vast population as a significant advantage.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin Minds, DJ Neptune noted that with a unified approach and collaboration, creatives can reap more benefits from their work.

He said: “We, as African creatives, need to start thinking towards the direction of owning our own streaming platforms because we have the numbers.

“All DJ Neptune needs to sustain me for the rest of my career is probably just four to five per cent of that population constantly streaming my music, coming to my shows. I’m made for life, you know. We need to come together as one”.

The 35-year-old DJ also highlighted the importance of collaboration in the creative industry, describing it as the “new gold.”

“But you need to understand that collaboration right now is the new gold. When we go into the room as one voice, it makes the conversation more interesting and more beneficial to the creatives”, he said.

DJ Neptune shared his passion for his craft, stating, “I’m still as hungry as when I started on the very first day, you know, and the goal is to be celebrated as a global DJ from Africa, West Africa, Nigeria, to be precise.”
