Published on October 18, 2019, DJ Demakufu's rags-to-riches story is an inspiration to many.
As a self-made DJ, Demakufu's journey began with street hustling in Industrial Area, where he carried packed juice to make ends meet.
Speaking to Word, Demakufu shared his story, saying, 'I have had a long journey. I didn’t have enough school fees, so I started hustling in Industrial Area, carrying packed juice. That job finally ended, I went back home and my dad was welcoming, he bought me my first mixer.'
Demakufu's determination and hard work eventually paid off, and he went on to become a renowned DJ, even starting his own academy to help grow the deejaying industry in Kenya.
When asked about his success, Demakufu advised, 'Be patient and be prayerful to God and ask for favour. DJs are so many and everyone wants to be best. You can be what you want to be.'
Demakufu will be playing at the Mashujaa KC party this weekend, where he will be appreciating his country and culture, saying, 'I like appreciating my country and my culture.'
