Cameroon-born disc jockey DJ Choco has emerged as the winner of the 2024 edition of the Ballantine’s True Music Mix Challenge.

The Douala-based DJ Choco was crowned winner of the Ballantine’s True Music Mix Challenge on Sunday, February 25, 2025, at Club CAMWATER Bonapriso in Douala.
The event was attended by fans, brand ambassadors Kocee, MIMIE, and DJ Labastille, as well as partners who came to narrow down the search for the best DJ in Cameroon in the Battle of the Cities.
DJ Choco emerged as the winner from a list of six finalists after three battle rounds, where they were judged on their creativity, technique, and ability to connect with the public.
While DJ Choco was rated the overall best DJ and winner, Buea-based DJ Bisou emerged as the runner-up of the competition.
The winner and runner-up each took home a cash prize of FCFA 1,000,000 and 500,000, respectively.
DJ Choco will be the official DJ for Ballantine’s in Cameroon. He also received a certificate from Trace Academia (Trace Cameroon), this year’s official partner of the Ballantine’s True Music Mix Challenge.
