Rev Azigiza Jnr Honoured

Victor Kpakpo Addo, known in the showbiz as DJ Azigiza Jnr, was on Saturday, May 6 honoured with a lifetime achievement award at this year's edition of the Ghana DJ Award held at the Silver Towers in Accra.

It was a special award for his contribution towards the DJ profession in Ghana and Africa.

The spokesperson for the award scheme, Daddy Bosco, revealed that the 'retired' disc jockey, who is now a reverend minister, has done a lot for the disc jockey industry in Ghana. He added that “he deserved to be honoured for his contribution to the development of the disc jockey industry.”

An elated Rev Azigiza paid tribute to all those who had made an impact in his illustrious career. He was full of praises to organisers of the event, Merqury Republic Events.

Azigiza Jnr started his dick jockey career in 1991 on radio as a presenter and DJ hosted programmes such as Joy FM's Joy Beach Jam, Guinness Music for Your Dancing Feet on GTV, Video Vibes and the Azigiza Show.

Azigiza Jnr was the resident DJ for most of the big nightclubs in Accra like Miracle Mirage, the Golden Egg and Glenns.

He abandoned his DJ profession in 1998 when he became a born-again Christian and that is when his transformation started.

He enrolled in some Bible schools and has since become a minister of the gospel.
