DJ Arch 5 yrs Old South African DJ secures a Guinness Record

Oratilwe Hlongwane, 2015 SA’s Got Talent winner popularly known as DJ Arch, has earned himself a Guinness World Record.

The five-year-old has been recognized as the worlds youngest DJ. In order to secure the title, DJ Arch played on a professional system at a club in Cosmo City, Johannesburg to an audience of 100 people.

The young DJ performed his record-breaking one hour-long set on June 10, after his father Glen Hlongwane managed to sneak the youngster into the Platinum Lounge in Cosmo City.

This was DJ Arch Jr’s third attempt. His first attempt was two years ago when the young boy wasn’t able to concentrate long enough to complete the hour.

According to an article on the Guinness World Record site, the young DJ had hoped to achieve the feat in 2015 as a contestant on SA’s Got Talent. “However, the Guinness World Records guideline state that this challenge must take place in a club and last for at least 60 minutes,” it explains.

Well, he’s done it! DJ Arch officially holds the world record as the youngest DJ, taking the title from six-year-old Itsuki Morita from Japan.
