In Nigeria’s fast-paced entertainment landscape, few names carry as much cultural weight as KVLT WRLD. What began as a bold vision in the mind of founder Jemedafe Caleb has evolved into a powerhouse creative agency that thrives at the intersection of music, fashion and street culture. With a deep-rooted commitment to elevating African creatives–such as the highly talented musical maestro, Victony–on the global stage, KVLT WRLD has spent the past four years crafting unforgettable experiences that fuse culture and community. At its heart is not just a business model but a movement–one that pulses through the vibrant streets of Lagos and beyond.
A key part of this movement is the now-iconic “Even In The Day” series, a groundbreaking party brand that has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s entertainment scene. More than just a party, each edition is a carefully curated cultural event, where music and fashion collide to create something truly electric. From its roots in Lagos to satellite editions in Abuja, Ibadan, Ghana, and South Africa, “Even In The Day” has built a reputation for pushing boundaries. Each event pulses with a raw, contagious energy that reflects the soul of Nigerian youth culture–a testament to the vision of Jemedafe Caleb and the dedicated team behind KVLT WRLD.
At the core of this phenomenon is DJ Six7even, a name that reverberates through Nigeria’s club scene with an unmistakable rhythm. DJ Six7even is not just another DJ; he is an innovator with a gift for weaving genres together in ways that feel both seamless and transformative. Whether blending Afrobeats with the irresistible groove of Amapiano or slipping house music into a set that leaves audiences craving more, his talent is undeniable. Towering at 6 feet 7 inches, he carries the playful moniker of “the tallest DJ ever,” but it is his reputation as the “Amapiano god” that truly sets him apart. Beyond his prowess on the decks, his own tracks–including “Shashe,” “Love Szn,” and “Wahala“–showcase a versatility that keeps him at the forefront of Nigeria’s music evolution.
The synergy between KVLT WRLD and DJ Six7even has given rise to some of the most memorable events in recent Nigerian entertainment history. In December 2024, KVLT WRLD lit up the calendar with a series of show-stopping events, starting with “Even With Skyla” on December 14th in Abuja, where Skyla Tylaa headlined an electric night. Days later, the “Dance Eko Festival” took over Lagos on December 20th and 21st, a two-day celebration of the city’s vibrant dance and DJ culture. Closing out the year in style was the “Even In The Day (All White Edition)” on January 1st, 2025–a sophisticated New Year’s event that perfectly embodied the brand’s essence of style, energy, and community.
What sets these events apart is the heart and soul behind them. Jemedafe Caleb’s vision for KVLT WRLD was never about simply throwing parties; it was about building a cultural legacy that speaks to a generation. Each event is a celebration of identity–where music is loud, fashion is bold, and individuality is embraced. For attendees, it is more than a night out; it is a memory in the making.
As anticipation builds for their next major event, “Even in the 90s: A Y2K Special” on April 19, 2025, the buzz is palpable. The event promises to take attendees on a nostalgic journey back to the era of bold fashion statements, chunky accessories, and unfiltered fun. With a lineup that is sure to feature the best in Nigerian music and DJ Six7even at the helm, the night is poised to be another chapter in KVLT WRLD’s storied history of unforgettable experiences.
In a culture where trends rise and fall, KVLT WRLD has managed to do something few can–create timeless moments that resonate long after the music stops. It is a testament to the power of vision, the importance of community, and the magic that happens when culture is not just observed but lived. As the brand continues to grow, one thing is certain: KVLT WRLD is not just hosting events; they are shaping the soundtrack of a generation.
