November 9 has been officially declared National DJs Day in Ghana, marking a momentous occasion for the country's entertainment industry.
The declaration comes from Merqury Quaye, widely recognized as the "Father of DJs" and a key figure in revolutionizing DJ culture in Africa.
This special day is an opportunity for Ghanaians to show appreciation for DJs, who play a vital role in the nation’s dynamic music scene.
Merqury Quaye is urging the public to share photos and stories of their favorite DJs on social media, while radio stations are also encouraged to honor DJs with on-air mentions and social media posts.
Merqury Quaye’s influence in the DJ industry is unmatched. A true trailblazer, he has been instrumental in transforming and elevating DJing throughout Africa. His vision took root at a time when the art of DJing was still developing on the continent.
Recognizing the power of DJs to do more than just entertain, he dedicated himself to promoting DJing as both an art form and a respected profession.
Among his most significant contributions is the establishment of the Ghana DJ Awards. This prestigious event, which celebrates the artistry and impact of DJs, has become a cornerstone of the industry. Through this platform, Merqury Quaye has shone a spotlight on exceptional talent, inspiring DJs to achieve excellence and push the boundaries of their craft.

In addition to his work promoting DJs, Merqury Quaye is also an iconic DJ himself. His innovative mixing skills and ability to engage audiences have set high standards for the industry.
It’s in this spirit of dedication to the art that he initiated National DJs Day, further strengthening the culture and ensuring DJs receive the recognition they deserve.
As November 9 draws near, Ghanaians are encouraged to join in celebrating these talented music masters who have helped shape their favorite tunes and memories.
Happy National DJs Day in advance to all Ghanaian DJs, whose talent and passion continue to captivate and uplift the country’s music culture.
