Comedian Ayo ‘AY’ Makun’s ‘A Trip To Jamaica’ currently showing in cinemas nationwide in Nigeria has already raked in 80 million naira, surpassing any other Nollywood movie that has hit the cinemas in 2016. The movie set a good tone for itself in its first week in the cinemas, by raking in 61 million naira over and above American actor, Will Smith’s ‘Hollywood’s ‘Suicide Squad’ record of 40 million naira in at the cinemas. In addition, the movie also has a new record of the fastest film to hit the naira century mark in the history of Nigerian cinemas in seven days.
“Going by these figures, ‘A Trip To Jamaica’, is set to smash the box office records currently held by AY’s own ‘30 Days In Atlanta’ which is the highest grossing movie since the advent of cinemas in Nigeria,” says Moses Babatope of Film One Distribution. The 2014 film, ‘30 days in Atlanta’, made over 160 million naira during its stay in Nigerian cinemas making it one of the three world highest domestic gross movies in The Guinness World Records. ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ which premiered on September 25, 2016 features AY himself, Funke Akindele, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Eric Roberts, Paul Campbell, Chris Attoh etc.
As a DJ one of the things I respect about other DJ’s is the pride they take in music selection and mixing. The first time I heard Rusty G play on a mix tape it immediately became my favorite, and years later is still on my play list. From the beautiful Caribbean island of Bermuda we present DJ Rusty G.
DJ Rusty G
Ah man, for as long as I can remember. My parents always had music playing around the house, Michael Jackson, Calypso, you name it.
I felt connected to the power of music and genuinely enjoyed sharing music with others. Even before I started as a DJ I would study people, watching how certain songs would get different reactions. It always fascinated me
I love so many different types of music; it really depends on my mood. Soca & Dancehall always puts me in a good mood.
I was really nervous! Thinking back on it, I was so scared that I was going to mess up and make a fool of myself. I think I spent hours prepping for that set.
If I had to choose one thing I would say winning the ‘Best of Bermuda’ award in the category of best Club / Party DJ two years in a row (2015 & 2016).
I love to travel and see different places, it’s always been a dream of mine to take my show on the road.
I would love to see Caribbean musicians and artists see more mainstream success. We have come far but still have such a long way to go!
Right now, I would say Skratch Bastid, DJ Puffy & DJ Private Ryan (in no particular order). I’ve always looked up to Skratch Bastid as being one of the most technical DJ’s I’ve ever seen, one of the baddest on the turntables period! Private Ryan for his versatility and consistency (nobody pumps out more mixes than that dude!) & Puffy is an all-round talented DJ that has really exploded on the scene recently.
I am your tour guide through the world of music. My job in the club is to make you move, my old school mixes should take you on a journey / trip through memory lane, my new mixes should expose you to something you haven’t heard before. A DJ to me is a tastemaker, futuristic, constantly adapting and changing the world around them.
Practice every day, know your music, stay humble & have fun!
