Assuming you have an event like a birthday celebration, naming ceremony, wedding, or any occasion worth gathering for and you intend to play music there. As a Christian, you’re not going to play songs that defile or go against your values. You want music that edifies, uplifts, and still gets people on their feet.
Now, live bands are incredible and if your event can accommodate one, go for it. But sometimes the event isn’t quite that scale, or you simply want to mix things up. That’s where a DJ comes in. And as a Christian, the DJ you bring matters. You need someone who understands the assignment and that is keeping the energy high without compromising the atmosphere.
One of the DJs doing exactly that in the Christian space is DJ Horphuray.
DJ Horphuray also known as Big Ray is a native of Edo State, Nigeria, and a believer with a strong passion for helping people have wholesome fun experiences with good music. Gospel music, in his case.
He describes himself as the Christian Party DJ with the vibes and that’s not an empty title. He has graced prestigious stages including Street Church’s Love and Light Festival, Rock Fest, and many more.
In 2021, DJ Horphuray did something nobody had done before. He became the first gospel DJ to set a Guinness World Record by playing gospel songs nonstop for 72 hours placing gospel music on the global record books in a way that had never been done before.
He was also recognized as the first African and Nigerian to be among the top five Christian DJs in the world alongside names like DJ Promote, the official DJ of American gospel rapper Lecrae.
Closer to home, DJ Horphuray was recently behind the decks at the wedding of Minister Abbey Ojomo bringing that same energy and conviction to one of the most important days in a believer’s life.
DJ Horphuray strongly believes in the future of gospel Afrobeats and is passionate about promoting it. For him, every set is an opportunity not just to entertain but to lead people toward something greater.
“It’s not really about the numbers,” he has said. “It’s more about the lives that are being saved through the gospel of Christ from every track we drop out there.”
That’s the kind of DJ you want at your next Christian event.
