Ugandan singer and songwriter Joshua Baraka is ready to reveal a hidden side of his creative journey — his long-time dream of becoming a DJ.
In a candid interview, Baraka shared that he’s already lined up a stage name for his DJ persona: DJ Carlos Lopez. He even hinted that he wouldn’t mind taking on bar and club gigs if the right opportunity arises.
“I used to hang out with Sese the DJ a lot and I just learnt from him. The journey hasn’t been very hard for me because right now I don’t really do it to a certain degree, so it has been quite easy for me,” Baraka explained.
Balancing Two Creative Worlds
Baraka revealed that being a DJ and a musician allows him to explore two different creative personalities. While Joshua Baraka focuses on crafting songs and performing as a singer, DJ Carlos Lopez lets him dive into mixing tracks and creating live music experiences.
