Radio /Television personality Doreen Avio and winner of the female DJ of the year at the Ghana DJ Awards DJ MJ paid a courtesy call on the Switzerland Ambassador to thank the Embassy for their support for female DJ’s. The Switzerland embassy pledged its support to celebrated Media personality Doreen Avio to empower female Disk Jockeys in Ghana. The campaign was after a survey by the DJ’s Union of Ghana (DJUGA) indicated that women made up fewer than 6% of DJ’s in the country’s creative ecosystem.
At the meeting, Ambassador Philipp Stalder expressed excitement to see the winner, DJ MJ in person after presenting the award to her at the 2021 edition of the awards under the ‘Take Over’. He also used the opportunity to know who DJ MJ is and how she is able to juggle her daytime work aside from being one of the best female DJ’s in the country.
He wished her well in her trade as a DJ and congratulated her as the Best Female DJ 2021. Doreen Avio on the other hand also thanked the embassy for their quick response in supporting the category the best way they could and being part of the activities preluding the main event to empower female DJ’s.
