Young DJ looking to break Guinness record
It is not often you come across a 4-year old DJ, but Mzansi is lucky to be blessed with amazing talent.
South Africa's 4-year old DJ, Arch Junior, is looking to break a Guinness World Record this Saturday at the McDonald's U/14 Schools League Finals at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville, Pretoria.
Oratile Hlongwane, aka DJ Arch Junior, is looking to become the youngest club DJ on the decks when he attempts to entertain the crowd for 1 hour. In order to break the record, he needs to at least spin 25 songs.
Canada' 6-year-old Brandon Duke holds the current Guinness World Record for youngest DJ.
Arch Junior attempted to break Brandon's record last year, but unfortunately couldn't play for an hour. He was only 3-years old at the time, but now he has a second change to write his name in the record books.
In an interview with Saturday Star, Arch Junior's father, Glen Hlongwane told the paper that at that time (as a 3 year old), it was impossible for Arch Junior to play that long and that he could do 15-20 minutes, after which his concentration would go.
"When I drive him to crèche, I tell him the big day is coming , and you will have to play an hour set so you can officially be the world's youngest DJ. Then he says "really" with a smile on his face. Then I tell him you will have to play about 20 to 25 songs, and he says, 'yoh! that's a lot', and I do believe in him, I always did". said Glen
Glen said as a parent he would be extremely happy if his son made it into the record books.
