DJ, documentary maker and radio host, Juba has steadily built a reputation as one of Berlin’s foremost champions music from Africa and the African diaspora. A child of the UK’s Nigerian diaspora and a History graduate from the University Of Warwick, Juba combines her academic background with her music based projects, exploring cultural landscapes and societal topics through the lens of music.

January 2020 saw the release of her debut documentary ‘Assurance’, which highlighted the gendered challenges facing Nigeria’s female DJs. Filmed in Lagos, the documentary is in keeping with Juba’s desire to broaden conversations around gender and electronic music and spotlight divergent narratives from the Global South which have historically been overlooked. In addition to gender issues, Juba also takes a keen interest in sustainability and activism within the music industry and beyond.
