Two YFM DJ’s nominated as two of Africa's 10 best DJ's

Accra, September 3, 2010 - DJ Kwame a.k.a DJ Killer-Fingers and Sammy Forson of Ghana's leading urban radio Y107.9FM have been nominated as two of Africa's best DJs on MNet's brand new show, Studio 53 Extra.

The two were nominated after a rigorous selection process by the organizers who had to travel across the continent to pick the most-listened-to DJs from a tall list.

DJ Black of Joy FM is the other Ghanaian DJ on the list, making Ghana stand tall with the highest number of winners on the show.

The other top celebrity radio DJ's on the list include DJ Ike from Nigeria who topped the list, DJ Fresh from the Republic of South Africa, Gaetano from Kenya, Toolz from Nigeria, Fareed from Kenya, Owen Rampa from Botswana and Chishala Chotishi from Zambia.

DJ Kwame hosts YFM's Friday Nite Mix Show at 8pm on every Friday and the Party Pressure at 8pm on Saturdays. DJ Killer-Fingers visits the Big Brother Africa eviction show party in South Africa on September 18, 2010.

Sammy Forson hosts the Myd-Morning Show on YFM. Sammy Forson treats listeners every weekday from 9am to midday to a spicy variety of music on the Myd-Morning Show and brings to the show a lot of charm, warmth and a unique ability to mix music tastefully, Sammy Forson's selection by Studio 53 Extra as one of the best DJs in Africa is not surprising since he was bound to be recognized world-wide soon. He also hosts Xposure on e.tv Ghana every Saturday at 7:30pm

Next week on Studio 53 Extra, Sammy Forson will be featured showing his skill at YFM studios at the Accra Mall.

Studio 53 Extra is a spin of Mnet's Studio 53. The previous programme was a lifestyle show that covered fashion, entertainment and cultural trends across the continent. Studio 53 Extra picks up the tempo from there, focusing more on Africa's booming entertainment industry and its attendant celebrity glamour
