About Me

To reach where I am hasn't been easy but I thank God. I didn't understand why I didn't get new clothes or shoes like my peers. Lunch remained a theory to my brothers and I. Lack of fees made my learning quite difficult. Although everything seemed to be against me, I saw an opportunity from a friend of mine who was willing to teach me the trait of Disk Jockey(DJ). That was my breakthrough into the entertainment industry. The difficult part of entertainment is people tend to go for well build brands or established names hence not giving people like us a chance. I live, I eat and dream music.

My Business

I am a dj and event organizer as earlier stated. It is a field that has not been fully tapped and can never be since it all breakdowns to a persons creativity and innovation. It is a field I have always desired to be in, I can simply say its where my passion lies. I can honestly state that the little profit that comes my way is divided into two. one is usually reinvestment and secondly my basic up keeps. I would love for my business to stand on its two own feet in that I get to help others that are either in my position or worse, by creating employment.

Loan Proposal

Due to me deejaying all genre of music and also being diverse I have come to see the need for storage space. I have been doing it the old way burning CD's but that way seems to be a little bit tough and expesive. It is better working smart and not hard. I would like a loan of about a hundred dollars to get an external hard drive of 2 terabytes. With this i can store lots of music with the cheapest budget ever. I looking forward to your help as I also say thanks in advance, may you be blessed

    Ever since the wave of the pandemic that hit the whole world us in Kenya took measures of closing all pubs, restaurants, churches and public gatherings. As much as it was a good preventive measure. Us in the entertainment world were rendered jobless. That is why I am asking for the repayment amount to be lowered cause I wouldn’t want to skip a payment. Thanks in advance for understanding

    Due to the current situation and effects of the pandemic. In our country the clubs and bars are all closed making it difficult for one to generate revenue.

    Due to covid19 & the country wide lock down all clubs, events and house parties have been banned. So there hasn’t been a flow of cash since there is lack of work. It hasn’t been easy.

    I am so grateful to the Zidisha family for helping me achieve this milestone. I have tested and fallen in love with the midi piano. I get to create and add beats to tracks. It’s so amazing. I am not able to even explain half if my joy to the lenders and Zidisha family. May you be more than blessed

    I am to buy a midi keyboard ( piano ) which help in creation of beats mostly used in studios. Planning to start creating remixes and also in the near future start up a studio. I am grateful to everyone that helped in raising the amount. I do not take for granted. I count it as a privilege as well as an honor. May you be truly blessed.

    Hi Emmanuel :-)

    Just thought I suggest you maybe put a link to any bandcamp/soundcloud/youtube/spotify if you happen to have recorded any of your creations... It might be helpful in spreading your music further :-)

    Wishing you all the best, Emma from Australia.

    PS. Do you incorporate much traditional music in your creations by any chance?
    Also, would you mind giving an idea what the rest of the loan would be going towards please if that's okay? Just curious, I'm guessing the keyboard won't be USD$300? Warm regards, Emma.

      This is a link to one of my mixes on mixcloud.

      The midi keyboard is like a piano not the computer keyboard. $ 300 is the price for a second hand one. Should I include photos of the keyboard?

    I am so grateful for the loan. It truly is a blessing. I have my whole set up very ready n working. I edit on a daily n my videos are in the best condition even in clubs. To clear with nice audio. I only urge the Zidisha family to check on the risk fee percentage cause it affects what I as a person asking for a loan wants to purchase. It is a bit foriegn to a number of us. Thank you n nice day.

    I couldn't sleep all night was so eager to see today just like a toddler waiting to open or unwrap a gift. I was able to purchase a monitor, keyboard and added something extra on the $ 22 so as to get a mouse. I am now very ready for editing my music. Thanks to you lenders. I am so excited as I head home.

    I am amazed and excited all at the same time. Thank you so much Divergent for the loan. Thank you Zidisha for the platform. I will as early as tomorrow go and purchase a Monitor screen, Keyboard and a laptop. So that I can start my edits quickly. I appreciate more than you can ever imagine.

    I am more than grateful to the lenders for the constant steady flow of cash. I have seen myself grow in ways I never dreamt possible. A few years back if anyone told me that I would be in such a position, I would have laughed thinking that as an impossibility. May the Almighty make your cups always run over for helping me cover a milestone at a time.

    It is with great joy that I get to announce the arrival of the HDMI splitter. It has taken a while but it is finally here. With the new equipment I can get to make easily video mixes that can be sold or at the same time get uploaded to the internet. That is a very big step because of international exposure hence increasing my market. Thanks again to zidisha family and the lenders themselves. Be blessed
