Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, DJ Tana, AKA Ibrahim Balogun, started his musical journey when he was 13, when he spent most hours of his days listening to DJs like DJ Jimmy Jatt and DJ Shy Shy Shilon. It was at this moment that Ibrahim Balogun knew he wanted to be part of the DJ culture.
He did various warm up sets before the doors opened in clubs hosting major names such as DJ Don X, DJ Phemstar, and many more. In 2012, he achieved his big break when he successfully completed his first public release, titled “Opening Act”. It was after this point when he started getting gigs at big events such as Weddings, Fashion Shows, Birthdays.
After receiving several offers, DJ Tana joined the group Unidsputed DJs, who helped distribute his first internet release, 'Opening Act' in 2012. Though the mixtape did not garner as much publicity as he probably would have liked, DJ Tana is a fighter and since 2012 has been locked in the studio perfecting his craft.
Suffice to say, judging from his new release, the mixtape scene should be expecting big things from DJ Tana in 2013.
