He is a force to reckon with in the game of hip pop, R n B, High life and Hip life in Ghana. He talks less and makes his fingers burn the players to produce good music or better still he tries to show the subdued murky side to DJing.
His name is Michael Mensah and DJ Mensah is his claim to fame. DJ Mensah (also called “The Untouchable DJ”), is one of the biggest names when it comes to DJing in Ghana. He is currently the only DJ from Ghana to have played on a BET Platform.
The appearance of “The Untouchable DJ” at events is a signal that BET winner Sarkodie is coming on stage and this is an enviable position he occupies – Sarkodie’s Official DJ.
