This totally sets Samini aside from his contemporaries and puts him on a whole different pedigree.

Social Media Week Chat: Three Simple Ways To Win Social Media
Finding the balance between media popularity and online celebrity status is a landmine but Nana Aba Anamoah has found a way to make it work and that was the central point of the conversation between the Social Media Week and Nana Aba Anamoah.
Check Out : Buk Bak – Mama Cry No More
As one of the most loved media personalities online combining her passion for football (Manchester United stan), her job as a news anchor and editor as well as the need to create laughable-teaching moments where grammar is always the topic, she broke down how she has been able to stay relevant for more than a decade and continue to grow stronger.
With the ever-changing social media playground experiencing tweaks and trends on constant spin, Nana Aba’s first point was on seeing social media for what it is, an extension of ‘REAL WORLD’. She said “ I don’t follow the bandwagon of just splashing news items here without paying attention to how people feel it about it. The feedback here (varied) is mostly a reflection of the general atmosphere in the country.”
On staying relevant, she sighted ‘INTERACTION and ENGAGEMENT’ as the main pillars. She said “It’s called respect. You can’t ask people to follow you & ignore them when they tweet at you. I find that disrespectful. Data no be cheap like that. I make time 6 times a day to respond to every tweet (if I see it). Some think I have too much time but it’s just RESPECT”.
In building core following and maintaining her standing as an adorable media personality, she stated that “Errrmm I don’t have a formula to this. I believe in staying loyal to your followers by interacting actively. It’s also important not to see RTs as something out of this world. There are young people doing amazing things here. If you have the following support them by RTing.”
This goes to establish that as fast as technology keeps evolving, the most effective thing a brand can do is to keep up by interacting, engaging, supporting their online communities as well as respecting them enough to take into consideration their opinions.

“If your song is played once, it doesn’t mean the people will know it, but if it’s been rotated, that’s when the people will know it so they don’t do that, in their clubs, on the TV and radio.”

DJ Vyrusky Shuts Accra down With His 'Vac With Vyrusky' Concert
Picking an adjective to describe a throng of students from 15 to 18 years, raving to their favorite artistes while making friends and being reminded of the fact that they need to do their best to stay in school, is one of the most difficult task but the phrase, ‘the Vyrus is Spreading’ pretty much explains it.
Returning to the school that made him, Kofi Amoako, popularly known as DJ Vyrusky decided to go in a fashion characteristic of the career he has built for himself; bring on the jam. Together with a cast of 40 artistes that ranged from his label mates at Lynx (Kuame Eugene, Kidi and MzVee) to Shatta Wale to EL to Captain Planet to Kwesi Arthur to La Meme to Sister Afia to King Promise, as well as get Joey B and Pappy Kojo to turn the crowd up together after a long while. The list was more than impressive and one that ticked every single box of the students who came to St. Thomas Aquinas last Friday.
Making sure the stage never sees a dull moment, each of the artistes didn’t only bring on their A-game but move through the motions, getting the fans to sing along at some points, dance, jump and interact with the over 7,000 students who had gathered there from different schools. The event lived up to its billing and attained the rare state of a day party that only a handful of events have in Ghana.
If one thing was clear from the event, it was the fact that to win DJ of the Year for two years in a role, it takes more than just playing the jams of the time and certainly more than just tickling fans fantasies, it is about the interaction, the engagement and an understanding of what will make a fan excited as much as party along throughout.
With High School Clique as the organizers and Orijin Zero on board, Vac with Vyrusky, in the end, managed to convert fans, reestablish Vyrusky claim as the undisputable, rephrase what homecoming is supposed to be and reintroduce high schoolers to the possibilities of school opening the door to their best lives.
