Speaking after the live session, DJ Grauchi, one of the judges for SBOB Season 3, expressed his admiration for the talent and energy displayed by the DJs. “The level of skill and passion we witnessed tonight was phenomenal. Every DJ brought something fresh to the table, and it’s clear that the Coast Region is home to some of the finest talents in the country,” said DJ Grauchi.
