Speaking after the live session, DJ Grauchi, one of the judges for the SBOB Season 3, expressed his admiration for the talent and energy displayed by the DJs. “The level of skill and passion we witnessed tonight was phenomenal. Every DJ brought something fresh to the table, and it’s clear that the Coast Region is home to some of the finest talents in the country,” said DJ Grauchi.
Jonathan Rutto, EABL Shopper Manager, echoed this sentiment, adding, “Smirnoff is proud to provide a platform where these incredible DJs can showcase their craft. Through our ‘We Do We’ campaign, we aim to create an environment that celebrates individuality and creativity, while also building a sense of community. The Battle of the Beats is a testament to that vision, and we are thrilled to see such overwhelming talent emerge from the Coast Region.”
