The record for the longest marathon DJ concert live stream is 51 hours, and was achieved by Mark Ursa, a Belgian DJ in Salvador, Brazil who played from June 19 to 21, 2020.
Obinna Ajuonuma aka DJ Obi attempted and completed a 240-hour marathon at a Lagos cafe and is said to currently hold the record. However, Guinness World Records archives do not show that they have confirmed the record.
With over 16 years of experience behind the turntables, DJ Bella’s journey towards this monumental feat has been driven by passion, determination, and a desire to pave the way for female DJs in the industry.
In an exclusive interview with Skabash, DJ Bella’s sister, Vivian revealed that this ambitious undertaking had been in the works long before the recent surge in record-breaking attempts.
Vivian shed light on DJ Bella’s deep-rooted motivation, emphasizing her sister’s aspiration to make meaningful impact in the male-dominated realm of DJing. With a fervent belief in the power of representation, DJ Bella has made it her mission to shatter stereotypes and inspire other aspiring female DJs to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
While the financial investment required for such an ambitious endeavor was substantial, Vivian chose not to disclose the exact amount, underscoring the magnitude of the commitment involved. However, it’s evident that DJ Bella’s dedication to her craft knows no bounds, as she continues to push the boundaries of what is achievable in the music world.
As of the time of filing this report, DJ Bella has already surpassed the 95-hour mark.
