Little known Moses Murage aka Zj Avexy raised Sh 430,000 in a live set in the now popular “254 Diaspora Djs Live on the Mix” Facebook group on Wednesday.

The group that was started in March to provide a platform to Kenyan deejays across the globe to entertain netizens who are locked down in their houses during this period, has become famous and now has over 70,000 members.

DJ’S PLIGHT

Viewers were touched with his plight as he was the first deejay in the group to just use a laptop to entertain them and fundraised the money M-Pesa and Cash App.

George Mokuasi, one of the founders of the group says he was delighted with the response the deejay received.

“This proves that we don’t discriminate and the true purpose of the group is to give every deejay a chance no matter the background and current status. With the amount raised the plan is now to ensure he gets proper deejaying equipment and a MacBook Laptop to kickstart his professional deejaying career,” Mokuasi told Nairobi News.

The 23-year-old says he has never been trained professionally but is eager to become a good deejay in the near future.

“I never expected such a good response. I was just using a simple laptop in a normal background, unlike the other deejays who had performed live in the group. I expected a lot of criticism and abuse but I am overwhelmed with the feedback,” he told Nairobi News.
