DJ PrettyPlay sets sights on Guinness World Record with 288-hour club DJ-ing marathon

In a bold and inspiring move, Princess Ntuk Williams, popularly known as DJ PrettyPlay, is aiming to make history with an unprecedented 288-hour DJ marathon. Set to begin on March 3rd, 2025, at Bay Lounge in Lekki, this attempt is more than just a record, it’s a proof of resilience and passion.

DJ PrettyPlay’s journey began long before she touched the turntables. Raised in the dynamic soundscape of Lagos, she honed her craft as a dancer before transitioning to DJing in 2014. Her passion for music and commitment to excellence have taken her from local stages to international platforms, including Big Brother Naija and the AFRIMMA Awards.

When asked why 288 hours, DJ PrettyPlay explains that the number is symbolic of endurance and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It’s a daunting commitment, but one that reflects her dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible for women in the industry.

Choosing Lagos as the backdrop is significant for her. The city’s vibrant energy, its challenges, and its unique cultural landscape have been instrumental in shaping her artistry and resilience. The city’s pulse, she believes, will be a driving force throughout her marathon.

For DJ PrettyPlay, this attempt is about more than just the record. It’s about inspiring the next generation of women in music, challenging norms, and creating platforms for emerging talents. It’s about leaving a legacy of resilience, creativity, and empowerment.

As DJ PrettyPlay sets out on this monumental journey, her long-term vision includes launching a DJ Academy, founding a record label, and touring globally to spread the rich sounds of Africa worldwide.

This marathon is more than a personal challenge, it’s a movement, and it’s one that the world will be watching.
