Introducing Wanni and Handi Danbaki, popularly known as Wanni x Handi, the dynamic twin DJs and performers who are the life of every party. Their journey into DJing began with an intense love for music since childhood, where they would save up their lunch money to buy the latest DJ mixtapes and albums. They were captivated by the seamless transitions between songs, which sparked their passion for DJing.
Initially, their careers took them down different paths, dabbling in TV presenting, acting, and digital marketing, but they always felt that something was missing. It wasn’t until 2021 when they encountered a group of individuals who encouraged them to pursue DJing professionally. These friends provided them with their first laptop and turntable, and from there, Wanni and Handi taught themselves the art of DJing, becoming self-taught talents.
A typical day in the life of Wanni x Handi as DJs starts with hitting the gym, followed by creating playlists that match the specific event they are booked for. They take the time to rehearse their choreography, conduct sound checks, and then get ready for the event. Punctuality is one of their strong points, ensuring they arrive on time for every performance.
As twin DJs, they motivate and push each other to continuously improve. They set weekly and monthly goals and practice regularly. Moreover, they actively seek inspiration by watching and listening to other talented DJs, which helps them evolve in their craft.
Being proudly Nigerian, they embrace Afrobeats as their favorite music genre to play and infuse the rich flavors of Nigerian music into their DJ sets. While their heart lies with Afrobeats, they are versatile multi-genre DJs, ensuring their performances appeal to a broader international audience.
Wanni x Handi’s success lies in their authenticity and originality, drawing people to their performances. With infectious energy, they create a euphoric atmosphere, making each event unforgettable. They are the heartbeat of every party, and their passion for music shines through in every beat they play.
