A DJ since the age of 18, Tana’s passion for music hasn’t changed one bit as his adventure on the decks becomes more successful. His unique energetic mixing style and historic selection of music, makes the dance floor an unforgettable vibe for clubbers and radio listeners across the UK and aims to explore the world. 

Being a British Nigerian, raised in South East London helped Tana to understand and appreciate other genres of music more and inspire him to explore new sounds. Using virtual DJ, he began to record and upload dancehall, afrobeats, funky and house mixes on YouTube for friends he would attend parties with at the age of 16, at this point Tana had never put his hands on a pair of decks. In 2011 during Tana’s college years, he decided to expand his skills by learning how to work the decks using CDs to become a real disc jockey at a studio in East London. 

Tana perfected his skills, playing at under 18 events until, 2013 when Tana joined @SID_ents also known as Shut It Down Entertainment, an entertainment company with a collective of dancers, promoters, music artists & now their own DJ. Tana played at rememberable events, such as Route2Love, WaveyWednesdays and AfrobeatsWithAfroBParty to name a few as well as making guest mix appearances on Reprezent Radio. By the end of 2013 Tana released his 1st two compilation mixes, 'AfroDiary Vol 1' which focused on the afrobeats sound and a multi-genre mix titled 'CodeName Vol 1'. 

Amongst others, Tana was responsible for bringing a new genre to the peoples ears in 2015. AfroSwing was emerging, influenced by Afrobeats, Dancehall and UK rap, which Tana was playing at the time. His hard work and great feedback on mixes had not gone unnoticed as he broke into the UKs university party scene, playing at iconic events, like IAmFresher, MasterClass, Barfest, Outchea & ChampagneCampaign, plus more. 

Tana wanted his voice to be heard and progressed to online radio joining GFM Radio in 2020, up until the summer, when he was recruited to join UK’s leading atlas to black music culture, No Signal. Originally influenced by the UK Garage, Grime culture and then UK Rap music, Tana started collecting classic mixtapes and albums.
