Big Creative Education (BCE), London’s largest creative college based in Walthamstow, hosted an exclusive live event yesterday featuring a high-energy performance from DJ AG, the viral North London DJ known for his spontaneous street sets and collaborations with major UK artists. Students from across BCE’s Music, Performing Arts and Events pathways took to the stage alongside him, showcasing their talent in front of peers and staff.
DJ AG, has become one of the most recognisable figures in London’s grassroots music scene, celebrated for his pop-up sets across the city and surprise appearances from artists such as Skepta, Central Cee and Jessie J. Named Time Out’s Londoner of the Year in 2024, he has built a reputation for bringing music directly to communities and championing emerging talent.
During the event, DJ AG delivered a signature blend of high-energy mixes while collaborating live with BCE students, many of whom performed original material developed as part of their coursework. The session offered young creatives a rare opportunity to work with an established industry figure known for elevating new voices and fostering community-led music culture.

DJ AG’s commitment to community and creativity aligns perfectly with our mission to transform young people’s lives through exceptional access to industry opportunities.”
