DJ Kalonje- Founder Mixmaster DJ Academy

A true testament to hustle and heart. George Waweru, popularly known as DJ Kalonje, started with nothing but a dream, hawking mixtapes on the streets of Nairobi for Ksh 50, dodging city council officers, and grinding his way up from the hood. By 2010, his mixtapes had gone viral nationwide, from matatus to campuses to nightclubs, making him a household name. Today he's an internationally recognised DJ with deals in the USA, Dubai, and beyond. Not content with just performing, he founded Mixmaster DJ Academy, giving the next generation the skills he had to fight hard to find. From the streets to the world stage, DJ Kalonje is proof that the come-up is always the best story.
