Spinall's signature African cap and world-class energy have helped him dominate the music scene with his unique blend of Afrobeats, Afropop, and electronic music. As one of the first African DJs to tour the United States, he has been instrumental in spreading the underground African culture worldwide. His extensive catalog under TheCAPMusic showcases his versatility and talent.

Gray Area is pioneering the "Doubleheader" event series, drawing inspiration from back-to-back baseball games to showcase artists with similar styles but unique fan bases. By having one artist follow another and culminating in a collaborative back-to-back (B2B) set, Doubleheader aims to create a powerful platform for musical discovery and cross-pollination. Embracing the "B2B" spirit, the initiative seeks to introduce audiences to new sounds while strengthening the dance music ecosystem.
