DJ Hafeez Sarumi

I was born and raised in Chicago, but both my parents are from Nigeria. One of the happiest moments of my life was visiting Nigeria and seeing a multitude of my family members all living in close quarters. The joy I take from Djing stems in part from my love of tight community atmospheres, where people come together in celebration. For me, nothing is more fulfilling than using music to enhance that joy by creating a unique experience for everyone there. 

I’ve always enjoyed rock and alternative music but I love a wide variety of musical styles from jazz to modern pop. My deepest knowledge however, lies in hip-hop and pop music and I’ve developed my club-style Djing at Rockit Bar and Grill, where I consistently get thumbs ups and fist pumps from the crowd during my sets.
