Tanzania’s DJ Joozey, real name Joseph Simon, has amazed social media users after sharing photos of himself playing a set selection on Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain.
Joozey ascended to the peak of the mountain with his music collection, setting it up at a height of 5,895 metres (19,341 feet) above sea level, and played for fifteen minutes, becoming the first African DJ to play at the peak of the highest mountain.
However, he admitted that the mix was not loud enough due to the sound being muffled by the wind at the mountain top.
“I did it! I played on Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world, 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) above sea level and 4,900 metres (16,100 ft) above its plateau base. Breaking the world record, I am the first man to ever play a 15min DJ set. God is good!” the DJ captioned the video clip of himself on Kilimanjaro with his setup.
Joozey, 27, is a rising star in Tanzania’s music industry and has been involved in show business for approximately five years, according to the local journal Tangaza Magazine.
The DJ was among the few chosen African artists in American rapper DJ Khaled’s album campaign for his “God Done” album last year.
