No I can't believe it No Thank you for having me and for inviting me We are honoured to have you and I must say you are a whole whole package is DJ is music is model Is it? Is it model? Well, lasimu tukai pwa tukia Tukai pwa tukia ondani a Christ, no? Unaka na pwa asana What's your DJ case? DJ Kez is gospel DJ is a gospel artist is a DJ at the MC and also motivational speaker among other things that I do but when it comes to relation music and philanthropy that's exactly what I do that's how I'm known I remember meeting DJ Kez very first time not physically nili kutana nawe pali Facebook during covid DJ alko nenda live mixes pali kidogo iwi well those were awesome times thank you those were really awesome times kushu nga jia gatu DJ kez sato ita fika sangafi wichunin but that was amazing why did you stop? I didn't stop, I still do it it's just not an activity as I used to do it because now everything came back sasa kazi piyazi mikuja so now we just do it every Friday evening but before we used to go live a lot but DJ is very much still a part of me still a part of what I do nige nimeba riki watu kuweza kushia mziki zenye mi na eza imba na zenye watu wengine wana imba, kama DJ na bisae DJ kuna mziki kuna? when did you start singing? as a baby to be honest because come on I must deal as Moimbe role number one that is a must let's see what you have to say Moimbe aji, direkli wunenda klasu so to kwa wadogo izuni talents zunye watu na na gruyo atu kwa wadogo but I didn't really think much into it until I got when I now became older and I came in kota who DJing and I loved it and then I joined a choir Sanim music group I used to say in choirs, are we? so I sang in Sanim music choir and they are the ones who inspired me and pushed me to do soul music and as I told you that first that song that we sang Kimbiliu was the first song that I dropped in 2021 October so it's been 2 years of soul music as an artist but to liyanzatu kwa wadogo kabisa na eko? na ni misto kima ilkuna mziki I eat and I drink music I am a DJ, I am a choir member and at the same time a solo artist na am suwa Goda kini funguli anjengi na ya kuyamziki badotu nmitai fin kwa wadogo na kwa wadogo na kwa wadogo? I say amen kwa wadogo na imba kwa wadogo na DJ kwa wadogo na kukriyeti music kwa wadogo na kwa wadogo I write as well so all the music that I have sung are my own compositions yeah so you are old you say she is an old everything when it comes to music when it comes to music she is all that ala hu you said Kimbiliu was the first song na india msalaba was the second one because it has a different sound which sound is this tiii if you listen to all my songs I try to because I don't want to be known for a specific genre I want to speak to people of all ages of all kinds of okanda kwa pejango utafti nmboiote nii neza kusprecia uta pata variety nii akunam tu tako saki tu nii itam speak here so that's why you sing with a choir as well kwa wali mbawa schizimizi npata palikwa DJ ukiru diukuna pachanatete which is very different from na india msalaba which is a hymn so try to mix it up so that we make sure watwa mungu ako sikiti kuskiza yakuwa and I know before that before that there is a journey and that journey actually I really like it because if there is someone that is watching us they are really inspired if there is someone who grew up in a church i did kwa kwa kwa yama jwe kweimba kila sato mjwe kweimba but along the way in kampo things took a different time things changed I should say she's a political scientist yes I am I have a degree in political science that I have never practiced it's unfortunate he'll take you to a community Let's hold on a little bit. Let me go first to do this music that he's calling me. But yeah, when I want to, having grown up in a Christian church, it is expected of you 100% that utakwam into a church. Yeah, like when I say mumtutu wlea wlea wlea wlea wlea kwa wio. But maen niliyenda nikakwa kwa kama jona kido go somewhere along the way. Uka fanya kijona. Yes, nikakwa nya kijona. I got pregnant at 17 years old just before I joined campus actually. And the circumstances in which I got pregnant, zilini kasi risha. But I didn't get mad at myself. I got mad at God for allowing it to happen to me that it did. And in the process of getting mad at God, I decided I was done being a Christian. And minimen. Is there rap? Yes. Yes, so I started a completely different life in campus. I used to go to the clubs and take photos there or just go party. And that's why I came in contact with DJing the very first time. So I had a friend who was a DJ there. And I told him, me one day I'd love to learn how to DJ. So I went to school. When I finished campus, I went for a three month course. But instead of doing gospel DJing as a Christian in me as opposed to I went into secular DJing. So I was a huge, I was a secular DJ in Kenya for four years. Actually almost five years because COVID is the season when I was born. Yeah, during COVID season is when I was born. But during those five years I never stepped foot in church. Actually it could be more because my daughter now turned eight. Yeah. Cute little baby. Beautiful little baby. My biggest blessing. You see, sometimes ina naisemangakwa testimony. Your biggest blessing could come as your biggest test. When you are in the season of the test, you are like, why is this happening to me? And then later on you come to realize, oh God was actually doing something through this test. He was teaching me something or he was building me for something. Because now when I look at my daughter I think, thank you Jesus because that little girl is the one that made, is the one that has inspired me to be the person that I am today. Yeah. True. Kamasee, clearly you didn't even be sitting here with us telling us. Nikiya. And this is an encouragement. I know this is an encouragement to someone out there who wants to give up. Yeah. I don't, don't, don't. The biggest test. Yes. It can give, it can turn out to be the best lesson ever in this life. It can push you to your destiny. Yes. It can push you to your destiny guys. Mind it. Mind it. Yeah, you see. And now music. Yes. Ume fanya ko labo umuna. Weza. Yes. Jipende. Yes. But my favorite. Yeah. Gramarecho. Hey. When you show me for my church. My grandmother. Uhu yo. Uhu yo tu ya ni mi mi roya angu tu ya na. Ni kama omegawa between my daughter and my grandma. My grandma is, as I said, tumerizo kwa church in any Christian. So ye endo the matriak behind the whole family. Ye endo. Me ni Liza Liwa in the Seventy Day Adventist church. Katisti of her because she was already in the SDH church. And she has taught me first thing, kwa imba. Io nda kitu elikotu bukotu nafanya. Kila shiku bioni. Tuna kaivi. Yeah. Round of the fire. And we would sing before we pray and go sleep. Yeah.

Anazi shikakabisa. So my biggest support system as well. Ako pali anything I do. My grandma is always behind me. She's like you go servant of God. Woman of God. Yeah. Yeah. Now tell us about this song. Howdy. It's your latest one. It's my latest one. As you in life. Generally. Atawe wa ata mimi. Kilam to everyone. Even the people who are watching online. We go knocking on doors trying to find the things that we think we deserve in life. And sometimes actually most times we go knocking on the wrong doors or the doors that are not meant for us. Because we are trying to find answers and when I'm trying to find a job I go knock on the door of my connections. Only my connections do not work out and I don't get a job. Or for example I'm trying to look for my purpose and my destiny in life. And I go knocking on the world's door. I'm like is it here? Is it in Sekila? Mi nili yanda uko? Is it here in Sekila? Or is it somewhere else? In the process I forget that Matthew 777 says ask and you shall be answered. Seek and you shall find and knock and the door will be opened for you. So it is very simple for us that when we go and we knock on Christ's door. With all our questions, all our troubles, whatever it is we're going through. So the answer we will receive. The door will be opened. What we are seeking we shall find. So that is what Hody is all about. I've been knocking on the right doors beginning now. Now go knock on the right doors. Go knock on the door. Uzuri Agoda mi sema. Ukimfunguliam lango. Kwa zi e piyan ono kwa doi ako. Ukimfunguliam lango anakam nawewe anakain nawewe. Nafi ya kudain na God ni kituivi iwi kwebi. It's a big thing. Say ma God is such a gentleman. It cannot force himself on you. You've got to open the door. You have to open the door for him. It's the enemy that forces himself on you. But God is such a gentleman. Unless you invite him, he cannot come in. You are a busy woman. I should say that every now and then, do you have new projects coming up? Oh yes, I have new projects that I'm hoping to be releasing inshala every month or every one and a half months. Because I want to bless these beautiful people as much as I can. And we are working on an album and we will be releasing towards the end of the year. And we will welcome you guys to come and join us to celebrate this album launch. My first album. Kwa front seat. Reserved. Reserved. Looking forward to that. Keep us busy. Occupied. Listening to one is a case song after the other. After the other. But more grace to you. God continue increasing you.
