Oratilwe Hlongwane, a.k.a. DJ AJ, is regarded as a musical
prodigy in South Africa, where he has legions of adoring fans.
Here’s the thing, though – he’s only two years old and still in
diapers. Scoop has more:
AJ’s mother, Refiloe Marumo, attributes the boy’s astounding
skills to his father Glen Hlongwane’s decision to buy him an
iPad even before he was born. Glen, a gymnastics coach,
wanted to use the iPad to download educational apps to speed
up the kid’s education. Incidentally, he happens to be an
aspiring DJ, so he also downloaded a DJ app for his own use.
By the age of one, AJ had learned how to use the tablet and
started playing with the DJ app himself. Soon, the little tyke
was able to repeat everything he had learned on the app on his
dad’s DJing equipment, complete with sound effects and
bouncing between songs.
The record spinning toddler has made a few special
appearances and also bagged sponsorship deals with various
brands. His most recent performance was at a shopping mall
in his hometown of Johannesburg, where a large crowd
gathered to groove to his music. Although AJ has his own
band of fans and admirers, his fame has brought his parents a
fair share of criticism as well. Some people have accused them
of child abuse and trying to profit from the child’s unique
ability. But AJ’s father insisted that he has no intention of
‘exploiting the kid’ by letting him play at parties or clubs.
