DJ Ik Dubaku
DJ IK Dubaku is a staple of the Cleveland nightlife scene and performs in New York and cities across the country, known for genre-blending sets across R&B, Funk, House, Afrobeats, Afrohouse, and Hip-Hop. He has shared stages with and performed for international acts including Kool & the Gang, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Oxlade, and was nominated by Cleveland Magazine for Best DJ in 2024 and 2025.
