Dj K-Boy, the game changer with a mission to revolutionize Kenyan entertainment!


  1. How would you introduce yourself?
 My name is Kelvin Nzuki. My stage name is Dj KBoy. I love music and deejaying. The whole process involved in production of music till the end product fascinates me. Seeing people dance as i deejay gives me the drive to deejay even more.
2.How long have you been deejaying professionally?
  I started deejaying back in 2012 but went professional mid 2015. So it's around 3 years now.
3. What inspired your passion for deejaying?
  I had a passion for music and art but i didn't have the voice to get into singing. So i had to look for a way to be in close touch with music and art hence i got into deejaying and i can say that was a decision i will always be proud of myself for making.
4.  What's your most favourite music genres?
   I love good music. Music with a message and a purpose. But sometimes reggae and hiphop gets a pinch of me better than the other genres.
5. What's the challenges  you have faced thus far as a dj?
  Deejaying just like any other profession has its own challenges. Job opportunities aren't as available as much and employers always want to keep on working with the same people not giving others a chance to prove themselves. Also this notion about deejays being a certain type of people doesn't make it true despite people repeating it over and over again.
6. What are your aspirations for the next 3 years?
  I want to start my own entertainment company with time. I also want to get into music production and radio programming as a whole. I genuinely want to grow as a person and as a brand.
7. How can you be reached on social media?
  So people can get me on Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and YouTube @DeejayKBoy
8. Do you look up to any other local or international deejays for inspiration & mentorship?
  I look up to alot of Kenyan deejays who have already made it in the industry and others who are actually doing well but don't get the recognition they deserve but it's all in time. Internationally i really look up to Dj Jazzy Jeff, this guy is a legend and he's always surprising with new stuff, a great motivation for me.

9. Do you reckon the Kenyan entertainment industry has reached it's potential yet?
The kenyan entertainment industry is far away from achieving its full potential yet. But over the few years we've actually grown from where we used to be. With new producers and musicians getting into the limelight bringing in new grooves and taste to the industry. With also the rise of groups and bands new things have been established and accepted by the fans. So i can say so far so good but we have a long way to go but i know we can do it.

10. What's your parting shot & advice to Kenyan youth in entertainment industry?
 The Kenyan industry right now is all about realizing who you are and what it is you really want t achieve in whatever field you are in. So if you want to join or you are already in the industry you got to be yourself and not succumb
