Victory Osadolor, known professionally as Outsyd DJ, is rapidly becoming a driving force in the burgeoning wave of Edo State creatives within Nigeria’s vibrant entertainment industry. With his electrifying sets and distinctive sound, Outsyd DJ is solidifying his position as a key figure, notably as the official DJ for Afrobeats sensation, Shallipoppi.

Growing up in the musical heartland of Benin City, home to legends like Victor Uwaifo, Osayomore Joseph, and Majek Fashek, as well as contemporary stars like Rema and Shallipoppi, Outsyd DJ’s passion for music was ingrained from an early age. In a city renowned for its celebratory spirit, it was only natural that he honed his skills in blending rhythms and igniting dance floors, launching his professional DJ career in 2021.

Outsyd DJ is poised to not only conquer the global music scene but to simultaneously elevate the rich cultural heritage of Edo State, ensuring its vibrant sound resonates worldwide.

“Through my journey, I want to push my culture, the artists, DJs, and creatives from my hometown and inspire them to be the best they can be,” he stated.

In 2022, he released “Kudos,” a collaborative track featuring Edo artist AttiFaya alongside industry heavyweights Ice Prince and Skiibii. More recently, his viral hit “Feel D Mood,” showcasing the talents of rising Edo artists Famous Pluto, Outsyd Eddie, and Tegaboi DC, has significantly boosted his visibility and underscored his role in bringing the Benin sound to a wider audience.

The success of “Feel D Mood” has positioned Outsyd DJ as a crucial bridge between local talent and mainstream recognition. He plans to continue his ascent by releasing fresh music, delivering high-energy performances, curating unique party experiences, and collaborating with a diverse range of artists.
