2. When did you discover your passion for deejaying?
2. I discovered i had passion in music generally when i was a young girl because my dad loved music. We used to listen to a lot of reggae music likes of Lucky dube and UB40 but being a dj i was in class 7 and my sister actually used to call herself a dj,she wasn't a DJ but i loved the idea and also i used to listen to radio Maisha by them and there was a DJ called dj splash ,i really wanted to do what he did on radio, and after my highschool i joined the deejay academy (five star music school) in Nairobi.
3. Who are some of the djs the influenced or inspired you?
3.some of the deejays /presenters who inspired me are Rapcha the sayantist ,dj patiz but i can say i really get inspired by different deejays because deejaying is a craft and so every deejay has his/her own style and i appreciate and learn from a lot of deejays,so after doing my deejaying i also was passionate about radio so i started deejaying at radio stations,did some shows at hot 96,ghetto FM and others.I joined college to do my journalism course and after i was done i was invited at a radio station called EMSTA radio as a dj ,worked as a DJ for a month and i requested them to give me a reggae show because i am so crazy about reggae and that's how i became a radio presenter,i am now working at Fresh M radio as a reggae presenter/deejay/producer a show called the ital groove airs every Thursday 10pm-midnight.
