Dj Yemi & Atni - Interview With Loline Mag

Both born and raised in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, DJ Yemi, and Atni are the producers of the newly released album, Gud-fela. The title was given to the album to reinstate Yemi’s comeback to the music scene with a bang. The album contains a variety of genres going from EDM, hip hop, and afrobeat to traditional music. Gud-fela will soon be released on every platform so we can turn up the speakers and dance the night away but for now, let’s dive into the artists’ backgrounds.

Yemi and Atni met four years ago through a friend and they got close very quickly. Since their ideas and styles complimented each other, the process of working together was very natural. To learn about the artists individually, Yemi went to ICS and EPCS (now known as EPS) and left to live in Atlanta Georgia where she started Djing. She came back and secured gigs at clubs while she started hosting a radio show on Sheger FM. A year later Afro FM started and they hired her as the host for the hype show and later a host for the breakfast show and Djed at concerts and traveling.
