DJs are part and parcel of the Kenyan entertainment industry and they have taken over the space of spinning the decks in Kenya all at the same time getting paid big bucks for it.

Unlike the past, when an artist had to produce an album to be able to sell his music, DJs in Kenya have made it a lot easier for artists to get airplay for their songs.

They are able to play that music at gigs or the club.

They have taken over the space of spinning the decks in Kenya all at the same time getting paid big bucks for it.

Have a look at some of Kenya's richest DJs.

DJ Crème De La Crème

He started mixing tapes back in 2003 when he was still a student. His mixes are majorly done around contemporary urban music.

Even though he has very controversial reports on social media, he’s very good at disk jockeying.

Deejay Pierra Makena

She is among the top best female deejays in Kenya at the moment.

DJ Pierra gives this statement a whole new meaning.

On top of all this, she is a mother to a beautiful baby girl. Who said women can’t be djs too?

He is one of the veteran Deejay’s in Kenya from back in the day.

He’s been able to win a lot of accolades and travel around the world.

One of my favourite things about DJ Adrian is his tag line.

It goes like your favourite Deejay’s Deejay. His speciality is soul music and some hiphop also Kenyan Mashups.

He is also well known because of his Live mixes show known as wheelz of steel.

Deejay Kalonje

Most of the upcoming deejays have passed through his hands.

He is best known for his live mixes as well as his social media posts.

Deejay Phyll

He’s among the list of the best deejays in Kenya at the moment.

Just like Deejay Kalonje, he’s a street deejay with most of his mixes being played by Matatus and Nganya.

He is well known for his reggae and riddim mixes. In the year 2016, he won the award for the most played Deejay in Matatus.

Over the years, deejay Phyll has refined his art of spinning on the decks and moving the crowd.

DJ Delph

He is Mombasa’s finest veejay and one of the few Kenyan deejays to spin in major concerts in Europe.

Delph says his charges vary depending on the demand placed on him by his client.
