He is one of the most prolific DJs in Kenya and arguably the most versatile. DJ Joe Mfalme or as he is known to the government, Joseph Mwendwa is the stuff of dreams. His rise to fame is something not unlike a fantasy. From humble beginning he grew into his big-inning.

Dj Joe Mfalme started playing professionally at the age of 20. He was the runners up at a national DJ competition n 2008-9. He went on to land himself a permanent contract Kenya's Top Radio Station-98.40Capital Fm. The following year, he went out against other Dj's from other local Radio Station where he scooped the award for The Best Media Dj.

His favourite genres of music are Ragga, Dancehall, Crunk and Ol'Skul hip Hop. This has made him a versatile and all rounded Dj who can play for different ages, occasions and backgrounds.

Back when being a DJ was not really an occupation, Jospeh Mwendwa set out to change that. Unbeknownst to him, he was carving his own path. A path that many more would follow, inspired by what he was able to accomplish when no one else took him seriously.

But he got involved in a DJ competition and his skill and dedication carried the day. That is how he came to step in the limelight. And unlike everyone else who came and went back into obscurity, he has remained a colossus in Kenyan entertainment. No, really, he actually outshone the eventual winner!

Since then, he has never looked back. Go to the next page to see what he has been upto.

Too hard too soon?

DJ Joe Mfalme is the realest definition of Made in Black -the 254 version. Just what does that even mean? Simple really, stop thinking of black as a colour. Think of it as a mindset. From whence vibrancy and creativity flow.

Something like Guinness. The darkest liquid with the most vibrant flavours for your taste buds. Perhaps there is something to be said about the attitude BLACK.

Take a leaf and carve your own path!
