Spotlighting Female DJ Talent: Powered by Smirnoff, Pub Fest celebrates Female DJs

In a resounding celebration of music, rhythm, and the artistry of the turntable, the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards PUB FEST is currently sweeping across the nation, and this year, it’s putting a special focus on the incredible talents of female DJs.

Following triumphant events in Sunyani, where Gyal Dem DJ dazzled the audience, and Winneba, where DJ Phinaj stole the show, the PUB FEST train is now heading to Tamale, where DJ MJ is set to take the center stage.

Fuelled by Smirnoff, is more than just a party—it’s a platform dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the remarkable talents of DJs across Ghana. 

Guinness Ghana, the nation’s leading total beverage business, with Smirnoff as the lead brand, has taken the helm for the PUB FEST, making it a must-attend occasion on Ghana’s entertainment calendar.

From the bustling streets of Accra to the vibrant beats of Kumasi, the coastal melodies of Winneba to the rhythmic tempos of Tamale, Ghana boasts a rich tapestry of musical diversity. 

At the heart of this dynamic musical landscape are the DJs, the unsung heroes who curate the soundtrack of our lives. 

PUB FEST is an homage to these talents, uniting the nation through the magic of music and dance.

The journey of PUB FEST commenced with a vision by Merqury Republic, organizers of the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards, to elevate Ghana’s DJ culture, paying reverence to the ingenuity, innovation, and artistry of DJs.
