Prolific Ghanaian Electronic DJ and producer, Frank Ofori Nyarko, popularly known as Master Que, has debunked the assertion that he is merely a scratch DJ.
Speaking on Culture Daily on 3 TV, he clarified that while scratching is a recognized aspect of his craft, it is only one of the many skills he has mastered over the years.
“I am not a scratch DJ; it’s just a part of the many skills I have honed. I am an all-round DJ,” Master Que stated.
He likened the misconception to a student excelling in reading but being solely identified for that skill. “Take, for instance, a smart kid who happens to be a great reader. Everyone recognizes his reading skills, but the truth is that he is a smart kid.”
Master Que’s career in DJing dates back to 2002, but he officially commercialized his talent in 2019. Since then, he has become one of the most sought-after DJs in Ghana, performing at some of the country’s most exclusive venues, including SkyBar, Mad Club, El Padrino, Kruna, and Mad Skies.
His contributions to the music industry go beyond just playing records. Master Que played a pivotal role in the introduction of the Electronic DJ of the Year category at the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards. In recognition of his impact on the electronic music scene, he won the prestigious award in 2023.
A true pioneer in promoting electronic music to diverse audiences, he has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of the genre and leaving an indelible mark on Ghana’s dance music landscape. From energetic club sets to headlining major music festivals, Master Que continues to shape the industry with his talent and innovation.
In addition to his DJing prowess, Master Que has made significant contributions to music production. He was integral in the production of Kontihene’s song Dedede, among other notable projects. His versatility in both DJing and music production solidifies his reputation as one of Ghana’s most influential figures in electronic music today.
With an ever-growing presence in the industry, Master Que remains dedicated to expanding the reach of electronic music in Ghana and beyond.
