And it's always a pleasure, as I always say. Entrepreneurship Tuesday is here. Y254 channel on Twitter, Y254 underscore channel on Instagram, and Y254 on Facebook is the way to interact with us. So today, I'd like to focus on an aspect of the entertainment industry. These guys are the life of the party. We have hosted a couple of guest DJs on Y in the morning. But today, I'd like us to get to understand the business and who else to teach us the business other than DJ Jomba himself. Garibu Sana. Sana, Mr. Barry. How are you? I'm fine, man. It's a pleasure. Pleasure to be here. You built your empire over time. You've come a long way in Kuru County. Kuru County. Representing. All right, so maybe you can give them a brief intro of yourself, DJ Jomba. Kauna Ta Kua Piazile Jinaz Koko IDP Anisawa, a brief bio, and then we can carry on. OK. Hi, everyone. My family, and my friends, other DJs, and my crew here. Me and my DJ Jomba are from Nijui. Real names came from Jomba. Born and raised from the coast. But Saitu Kua Pa Kuhasul. Saitu Kua Pa Kuhasul is based on entrepreneurship Tuesday on Y in the morning. And DJ Jomba did us one, but he didn't come by himself. I'm Kujan Amgeni, and we'd like to know who this guy is. Yeah, my name is Patrick. I'm DJ Patrick, representing Blu-ray. Actually, I'm in Blu-ray, DJ's academy. And I was born from Akuru, raised in Akuru. Nice one. And I've seen you engineering a lot of stuff. Ulu Kua, you control a lot during the connections of the staff. I see you're very skilled in this. Are these some of the things you learned at Blu-ray? Yeah, yeah, everything. When are you graduating? I'm already graduating. I actually have a set. You actually have a set? All right, so this brother here runs an institution of higher learning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, but we'll get back to you. In the meantime, you can line up some Kenyan music for us to see Bhutan in a calligraph, Tafavali. Za. I was Za. So DJ Jomba, your journey starts way back. After high school, you can collect Somayakitu, which you are not practicing anymore. Maybe when I practice at Blu-ray, I don't know so much about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, in real life. Me nearly Somaya procurement. Procurement, I did a diploma in procurement from 2012. No, from 2013, from 2013 till late 2014. Then, this is what I'm talking about. I don't know much about it. So for me, music is... Especially in Kenyatta. Yeah, music is my dream. So I decided to watch Somayakitu procurement. I think it's because of the Empire. So I did the calls, finished successfully. Then here I am, starting the journey and I'll tell you about it when I watch it. All right, while studying procurement at this school, which school, by the way, represent for them was? Kenya Institute of Management. Nakuru Campus. Hi, everyone. We're here in Bukka. You presented Kabisa when you were in the morning. So when you were studying this, you were still a DJ while in college, right? No, no, no. I started getting into entertainment when I was in college. Yeah, I think the second year, yeah. In the second year, you were in entertainment. Yeah, because I was in the academy to look what to know about easy events, campus nights and so on. So I was among the members. Then I decided to form a crew. So I decided to form a crew. You know, to talk what to know about your iso-staffs, my entertainment, iso-functions. Then I called it Blu-ray entertainment. From, it was 2014. 2014. So Blu-ray is roughly five years now. Yeah, five years in the game size, yeah. Five years in counting. Exactly. Half a decade right there. Yeah, exactly. All right, so what pushes people to get into a business, per se, is maybe one or another gap in the market. Some or another, they can do it. They have something unique. Yeah. That is not there at all. Yeah, exactly. Some or another. It's something that is there, but there's a gap. It's not where you find it to the fullest. Which one prompted you to start this? Maybe I got into entertainment because it was passion. And then I loved music, generally from way back, way back, way back when I was a child. And then, when I started, I started working as an officer. There are a lot of great graduates. Which you did forward. Yeah. There are graduates who don't know which to now congratulate. But again, when I started to do a job, I started to create employment. So, I decided that this entertainment company don't have to build an empire. Which is working for you. I see you have prodigies already. Now, if you want to do something, you can do whatever you want. I just came with one. All right. You had a nine to five for some time after finishing college. Exactly. You have a design, you have a focus on this, in particular. All right. What is your nine to five? Do you have capital or mail? I have a lot of capital. I have a lot of money. And I also have a lot of entertainment. I have a lot of money. So, I have a lot of money. And then, let me try this. Because from the advice, you will get the best cause. All right. At what point, Tullisqia, eh, this is not for me anymore. Because so many people fear that step. Because monthly salary could take the risk. Yeah, exactly. They could kick you out and landlord and everything. At what point did you know I have to leave this? And what are some of the steps you took to make sure you are not going back to the street? At the time when entertainment started paying good. Yeah. Then I decided, let me be my own boss. Rather than having a boss, let me be my own boss. And it worked out good. Blu-ray is here all night in the morning. See, over here, DJ Jomba himself in studio. White Fair 4 channel on Twitter. White Fair 4, underscore channel on Instagram. White Fair 4 on Facebook is the way to interact with us. So Blu-ray has a school now. Yeah. You are the chancellor or the vice chancellor. Ah, the man himself. The man himself. Yeah, behind Blu-ray, it's DJ Jomba. But we have a lot of guys we work with. There's DJ Dubis. There's DJ Charles Mogire. He's in marketing and Dubis is in branding and we teach with him as well. Yeah. I'm a big fan of Kumbua. When I was in the foundation, before you started teaching other people? Me, unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to go to a DJ school. Because all the finances were being... Channeled towards something. Channeled towards your procurement calls. Or more serious calls. Back then, you were DJing. That's a joke, man. You're in Jesus Christ. Your parents cannot pump in money. As a DJ right now, as somebody who owns an entertainment company, you run a DJing school, is it something that you'd advise a parent out there who's watching us right now? Because it's not like I'm on the phone, I don't want to be on the phone. I want to be a DJ. I want to go to a DJ school. Maybe their parents are saying the same thing your parents told you. What would you tell such a parent and what would you tell such a kid? To me, what pays the most is your passion first. Come, say a corner passion. Let them follow that passion. But then, education first, because you don't have an idea to get more ideas. But DJing is easy in Alipasana. In Alipafiti, as in, if you're focused enough and if you know what you're doing in this entertainment. Why is that? It's a thing, it's a thing, it's a thing. So what do you say to DJing in Alipasana? In Alipavizuri. Other aspects of the economy are complaints from industries. Sugar farmers want to complain. We have teachers complaining recently. We have doctors complaining. What do you attribute to this fact that DJing is doing quite well? I think it's a party, a sauna, etc. Your music is life. Music is life. So you can't live without music. You can't live without stress. You can't live without music. You can't live without your dreams. You can't have some time in your music. So music is... So people have some sort of turned it to a basic need? Yeah, exactly. But other entertainment, it's not everyone. You need to work hard. If you're doing DJing or entertainment, then you make it just like that. You have to put in some strength in it. All right, nice one. So we have the setup right here. Yeah, exactly. We have the CEO and founder of the school. We have a protégé right there. And I know nothing about DJing. So maybe you can take me through the first class, day one of your class, to give you a lesson as we proceed. To prove that my student is able, and that I have a foundation, I can take it through one or two, then I can go to school. You can go to university. Yeah, because I have an interview. Nice. I like that. Let me get some lessons from DJ Jombo's protégé. So you can just sit down right there, observe as I get some lessons right here. After you have paid the fees through this reception. You have to go through the first class, introduce yourself to the social media, and then follow me. Any chance you have a chance? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to check from Marsebets to Hosea County. All over Kenya. On Facebook, it's Patrick's Space KE, on Instagram, Patrick's underscore official. Yeah, follow me or follow back? Follow DJ Patrick Apaiwin at our follow back.
