Erica’s came into the limelight when she emerged the winner of the 8th edition of  TV3’s Talented Kidz, a Ghanaian Talent Show for kids.

While speaking to BBC Africa, DJ Switch said she started being interested in the art and went on to learn it.

“I started deejaying when I was nine years and I just wanted to try my hand at it… Being a young DJ is not that difficult, when you are being taught in school you pick everything fast, so when you are being taught deejaying you also pick it up fast,” she said.

About her stage name she says;

“I picked the name DJ Switch because I switch up people’s happiness,”

The multi-talented 10-year-old can dance, play the trumpet, drums and is still learning the piano.
She says:

“Deejaying is my passion but I want to be a gynecologist because I want to help women,”.
