The Music Street Jam, which started three years ago, has been a platform for musical creatives in the OAU community to display their skills and bring themselves to the limelight and subsequently to the global stage. This year, being the third edition, featured popular acts like R3my Jay, L3vi, Lasko Blark, Dynamic Band, Psamuel, Bandx and other performers.
The street jam kicked off during the early evening at 6:00 pm and ended in the late hours of 9:00 pm, garnering a large audience during the time frame, who were there to enjoy the moment and support the performers. Besides the life across the crowd, the performers had an awesome time, too, with the spectators lighting up the place with their energy, as they all danced and vibed to their music and other performances.
One of the hosts of the show, Josh of OAU, speaking with ACJOAU correspondent, said the OAU community should be on the lookout for bigger innovations from them. According to him, “We plan to make Street Jam a yearly event, and as you know, it’s a free event. Aside from the creativity, we are also putting the OAU community on the map, as popular acts like Rema, Don Jazzy, and different blogs have retweeted our clips on X (formerly known as Twitter) which has also given more audience and followers. More innovative events are still in incubation, which we won’t disclose now.”
