He is admired for his ability to remix a unique hip-hop tune to a Reggae or Afrobeats version. DJ Devious Remix is also making a huge buzz for his diversified Afrobeats Mixes titled “In Da Jungle” in Ghana and Nigeria. He plays in clubs and private parties while also producing his original remixes known as “Blends or Mash-ups” and uploading live mixes – once he gets a hold onto them.

Being in this profession of music has given him a lot of expertise as it is not easy to reach the top of Apple’s Podcast in almost 20 countries in a matter of months.

Titled as “Devious Remix Blends and Mixes”.

This list merely builds on to the amount of prosperity the Afrobeat DJ has received.
Afrobeat Mixes that DJ Devious Remix has created not only attracts many people, but it has also blessed him with a huge fan following across the globe. His Afrobeats mix under the title “In Da Jungle” has broken all records of success worldwide. When asked about his inspiration, not only the afrobeat but also his career as a DJ overall, he said that he inspires DJ Premier, Quest Love, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Clue, Gary Vaynerchuck Timbaland. He plans to continue to expand his talent globally and become a platinum producer.

After receiving such groundbreaking success on his Afrobeats creative blends, DJ Devious Remix’s mixes were co-signed by eminent Afrobeats artists: L.A.X and Eltee Skhillz as they promoted the DJ’s music to their own fan bases. Due to this, DJ Devious Remix’s own fan base increased exponentially in a matter of months.

In these advanced times, people are very picky while supporting a specific artist because if they do, they are all in. Fans are an artist’s best marketers. However, it is very important to produce something that the producer likes while keeping their own identity intact. Many artists are not able to have that balance and the ones that do, are winning this game. DJ Devious Remix successfully poises the ability to keep a hold of both which is one of the reasons for his growth in the industry. Not to forget his commitment, as mentioned above. Even after receiving fame, the DJ pursues growth in his genre and topics related to his career instead of letting the fame get to his head. That is also a quality to be admired.

Also, one of the things that stand out about DJ Devious Remix is that popularity is not his goal. He knows that popularity and money are merely by-products of him improving and working on his passion and skills. Therefore, he preferred sharing his story on podcasts rather than on platforms searching for attention. The DJ wants respect over fame and he got it. On top of that, he received love and became an inspiration for thousands of people. He is a living example who proves hard work and commitment takes us a long way.

Now, let us discuss what the DJ is doing and have been doing.

Public places are mostly closed or are allowing a minimum of people to participate. When recently asked, DJ Devious Remix replied that during COVID-19, just like most DJ’s and other professions, he was out of work from the resident Pub Bar he usually mixed at, along with a Brewery. Moreover, he also mixed as one of the three selected DJ’s for silent disco parties. However, these days, he could only take advantage of so much free time by working on his craft and staying focused so he wouldn’t get discouraged. He took that opportunity to work on numerous remix blends and mixes. Plus, he can also utilize this time to work on his digital platforms and connect with many more fans of his work online. He had mentioned that he was able to channel his energy and downtime to take his talent and audience to the next level due to which he has recently gained popularity on Apple Podcasts. By putting in his blood, sweat and tears, and personalizing his remixes according to his audience’s preferences, the DJ has stolen many hearts. It shows how even the pandemic cannot stop a person from growing and achieving their dreams.

Besides collaborating with Ryan Verneuille on the popular radio show called “The Ryan Show”, DJ Devious Remix is known for regularly upgrading his various fans and colossal list of supporters on social media. But when he shared his most recent Remix Blend titled: Lights, Camera, Action by the legendary hip hop artist Mr Cheeks, this exciting and ancient school vibe mix caught the attention of Mr Ryan who promptly reached out to DJ Devious Remix in asking for collaboration to discharge this remix on their radio appear.

While announcing the news, DJ Devious Remix says, “After posting my release on my Instagram feed the Host and president Ryan Verneuille approached me. He told me he checked out the remix on my YouTube channel and thought the Remix Blend was on fire.”

All in all, the DJ’s commitment is to discover more information around the culture behind the distinctive sub-genres of music since he accepts that it may be a never-ending look. He looks to form unique and different remixes that have never been invented or discovered.

It’s no secret that music holds the power to enchant people. Ears hear the melodies and every fiber of the soul feels them, especially when the message behind the musical notes conveys a call for world peace.

“In times of turmoil, music has always been our refuge, where we find solace and the courage to hope. This is what inspired ‘Concerto for Peace,’” reflects Omar Harfouch, the world-renowned pianist and composer who will bring “Concerto for Peace” to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France.

When he isn’t busy producing classical melodies with every keystroke of his piano, Harfouch can be found redefining what it means to blend art and activism. His upcoming “Concerto for Peace,” set to premiere on September 18, 2024, promises to be more than just a concert—it’s an evocative call to unity, a symphonic plea for a world yearning to heal.

Just 48 hours after enchanting Paris with the concerto, Omar Harfouch will take the stage at the United Nations in Geneva to deliver the “Concerto for Peace” once more. This remarkable performance is set to be a highlight of the World Music Conference, coinciding with the global observance of World Peace Day on September 20.

A Symphony as a Statement

Omar Harfouch is no stranger to the power of music as a transformative force. With a career that’s as much about melodic innovation as it is about social impact, Harfouch’s latest work, “Concerto for Peace,” encapsulates his belief that music can be both recreational and revolutionary. As 2024 sees the rise of art with a cause, Harfouch’s concert stands out for its musical mastery and bold message.

“This isn’t just about notes on a page,” Harfouch explains. “It’s about creating a space where every listener, regardless of background, can feel part of something larger—a movement toward peace, one note at a time.”

In a world where philanthropy is increasingly woven into the heart of the arts, Omar Harfouch’s “Concerto for Peace” reflects a growing trend where music serves as a catalyst for change. The performance, featuring the Béziers Méditerranée Symphony Orchestra under the skilled direction of Mathieu Bonnin, is set to be a defining moment in this movement.

The Pulse of 2024: Music with Purpose

As we navigate the complexities of 2024, the intersection of art and advocacy has never been more pronounced. The global music industry is seeing an unprecedented convergence with philanthropic efforts. Artists are not just creating for the sake of creation; they are crafting experiences that resonate with the world’s most pressing issues.

Omar Harfouch stands on the frontlines of this shift. “Concerto for Peace” is emblematic of a broader movement where art becomes a form of protest, a medium for messages that words alone can’t convey.

“Music has this incredible ability to reach where words often fail,” Harfouch reflects. “In every melody, there’s a story. In every crescendo, a call to action.”

An Artistic Tribute to Roots and Responsibility

The story behind one of Harfouch’s most famous compositions is a tale from his childhood. This is primarily why the upcoming Paris performance is also deeply personal for Harfouch. Among the pieces featured is “Tripoli,” a composition that serves as a musical homage to his birthplace.

With its intricate blend of cultural motifs and personal history, this piece adds a profound layer of authenticity to the concert. To that effect, it becomes an artistic expression fueled by his personal journey.

“Tripoli is more than just a city to me—it’s a symbol of resilience, of the beauty that can emerge from hardship,” says Harfouch. “Through this piece, I’m sharing a part of myself, my history, and my hope for the future.”

Another key highlight is “Save One Life, You Save Humanity,” a composition that spotlights Harfouch’s belief in the power of individual action. In a world where small acts of kindness can ripple into broader societal change, this piece serves as both a reminder and an inspiration.

A Crescendo of Hope

As the “Concerto for Peace” prepares to echo through the streets of Paris, Omar Harfouch is reflective yet resolute. “We live in a world that’s constantly changing, constantly challenging us,” he says. “But in music, we find a constant—a reminder that beauty, harmony, and peace are always within our reach if only we’re brave enough to listen.”

For Harfouch, this concert is the culmination of months of work and proof of the enduring power of art to reflect the world, comfort the world, and change the world.

The “Concerto for Peace” is bound to leave behind a lasting impact—a reminder that, in the grand symphony of life, every voice matters, and every note counts.
