This week on DEAD. Radio, we sit down with the legendary Akio Kawahito, whose journey from growing up in the USA to becoming one of Africa’s most electrifying DJs and promoters is nothing short of extraordinary. We explore how his quest for personal identity led him on a global mission, culminating in the creation of Koolout—one of the most influential hip-hop events in South Africa, first in Cape Town and later in Johannesburg, solidifying the culture. Akio also shares his vision for taking over the African continent with his latest event series, Strictly Soul, an R&B haven with world domination in its sights. This whirlwind conversation is packed with highs, lows, and invaluable gems that reveal how greatness is achieved through relentless determination, passion, and vision.
