GreenEyedLion a.k.a Osman Okey brings
elements of all his travels around the world (Nigeria, Turkey, U.K., New Zealand, Brazil and Canada) to his music and mixes including percussion.

His Safari Nites events also promote these genre (Afrobeat, Afrohouse, Tribal house, DnB Ragga Jungle)
of music.

Originally from Nigeria. Studied and lived in Turkey where he commuted to and from the U.K. on school holidays visiting the SOHO and East London clubs. These commutes led to his immersion in the punk rock and DnB culture (appearing as DJ blacKIWI for Ragga Jungle sets – DnB).

He moved to New Zealand where he saw an opportunity due to the lack of African or World music in the downtown clubs and created the SAHARA NIGHTS series at a Cuban club called Descarga Cubana on busy Karangahape Road. He began his stint on mixing electronic music with LIVE drummers.

He arrived in Canada in 2006, worked in dance companies in readiness for SAFARINITES - MAY 23rd 2019.
