DJ Arch Junior, whose real name is Oratilwe AJ Hlongwane, impressed judges – receiving a standing ovation and huge praise from Simon Cowell.
Mr Cowell said:
You and I need to be talking after the show cause I have some plans for you. Trust me! I think you are a total, total little star and I absolutely love you.”
When his set was over, the former Spice Girl and music talent judge Mel B exclaimed “I didn’t want him to stop,” followed by Terry Crews who said “That’s incredible!”
After the show one of South Africa’s biggest DJs tweeted a good luck message:
At six-years-old, we are pretty sure he is the world’s youngest DJ. But, incredibly, he has been at the decks for years. (DAN with BBC report)
