DJ Ferno is an Afro House producer, DJ, and founder of Baraza Musiq, building a global path through deep rhythm, intentional curation, and gathering centered dancefloor experiences.

His original music sits within the global rise of Afro House. “Baraza” and “Rebirth” both charted on Beatport’s Afro House New Releases, and his single “Now Let’s Move” with Nyoki was featured in Resident Advisor’s new music roundup. His sound is melodic, deep, and rhythmic, carrying both hands up energy and eyes closed stillness while threading familiar records with deeper selections to move a room as one.

Shaped by Philadelphia and Brooklyn dance music culture, years of international touring with DJ Jazzy Jeff’s team, and a life lived across cities, cultures, and dancefloors, Ferno brings a global perspective to his Afro House project, now based in Austin.

His performance credits include direct support for Black Coffee, Major League DJz, Shimza, Sparrow & Barbossa, and MoBlack, shared lineups with Terry Hunter and Kenny Dope, guest sets on LOT Radio and Gas Station FM, and festival appearances including Seismic Dance Event and Sound Camp Festival.

As founder and creative director of Baraza Musiq, a record label, radio platform, and immersive, curated event series, Ferno extends the sound beyond his own sets. Through Baraza Musiq, he has booked headliners including AMÉMÉ, MoBlack, Nitefreak, and Kunal Merchant while building community around Afro House and its wider world.

Available for clubs, festivals, brand activations, cultural events, and international dates.
