Oluwafemi is a deejay, music producer and visual artist based in Philadelphia, by way of Central New Jersey, by way of Lagos, Nigeria. Oluwafemi is inspired by drums and patterns, the rhythmic evolution of repetition. For over a decade, he has enjoyed mixing songs of drum influenced genres - the family of funk, hip-hop, soul, reggae, dancehall, house music, and their innumerable offshoots. These diasporic sounds have traveled with Oluwafemi to various cities on the east coast, California and Costa Rica. His style is simultaneously groovy and soulful, often drawing from a wide range of cultural influence and history.
