Nigerian expat Nnamdi Eluwah talks about the increasing demand for Afrobeat, and building a community of passionate artists and partygoers.

Dubai-based music producer and DJ Nnamdi Eluwah - who recently started his own entertainment services company - hopes to enhance the entertainment scene in Dubai and promote inclusivity by building a community of passionate artists and partygoers. 

Nnamdi is an expat from Nigeria who grew up in the city and through DJing around town over several years, has witnessed many transformations in its entertainment scene. 

Nnamdi has been living in Dubai for 16 years. 

He says ''My business partners and I strongly believe in enjoying and living life while we can. This is our main inspiration behind our ‘Thank You 1take’, where we strive to provide a safe space for partygoers to let loose, have fun, and retreat free of judgment through unique and creative events. Our latest project is an event we’re cooking up for Nigerian Independence Day on October 1, where we celebrate and share our heritage and culture.'' 

''DJs and producers such as Diplo, Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), and Avicii have been big inspirations to me, whose artistry acted as a blueprint for me regarding music and entertainment.''
