When it
comes to the wheels of steel, Derin Phillips, popularly known as DJ Caise, is a
force to be reckoned with. Being the Disc Jockey of Chocolate City, Beat FM
and Channel O, the young man is certainly doing well for himself.
He says,
“I am living the life of my dreams. Chocolate City is one of the biggest labels
in Africa at the moment. For Beat FM, I’m in the zone every Friday night
and my people love me. Channel O also gets me in touch with a wider
African audience. I’m blessed, and I’m grateful for the love.”
“As a DJ,
you have to make a conscious effort to understand your body and work well with
it. When on the job, you learn how to pace yourself and rest later. We are all
human! I’m healthy, the job hasn’t affected my health,” he explains.
He adds
that contrary to popular belief that DJs hardly have time for themselves, it is
all about the individual. Phillips says his work is all he has time for.
“If you
wait for time, it will never get to you. You have to seize the time to have a
shot at greatness. Time for myself is my work, I’m at it every day,” Philips
says.
Disc
Jockeying in Nigeria is a booming business that puts three square meals on his
table and he is thankful to God for that. Unknown to his fans, Caise is a jack
of many trades.
“DJ
in Nigeria is enjoying a sudden boom. Things could be better but I have no
reason to complain. I’m working on so many things now. I just released three mixtape-Afrobeat,
Sounds of Ghana and sounds of South Africa. I’m also working on my album
at the moment. Asides that, watch out for big collaborations from March and the
video for MI’s Number 1 featuring Waje. I am also one of the primary
actors in “The Island” a new TV series,” he said.
