I GOT INTO DEEJAYING: Because i had passion for deejaying and this didnt just come by mistake has many people think, this was my dream since Childhood so i grew up looking forward it though i never knew the challenges in the industry,And another thing, is that since underground Hip hop}is just developing in our country, the Element of deejaying is not looked at so much and this has been every bigger problem to all hip-hop projects in Uganda in a way that you can find a project with over 200 youths but all participating only in emceeing, beat boxing or breaking and you find every few practicing deejaying as an element in hip hop and i don't know why. I remember we used to organise hip hop events but without our own dj so what we had to do by that time we had to call adj from central to come to Eastern and some times they didn't keep time and this really continuously challenged me because i wanted to be adj but i didn't know where to start from and even i had no my own laptop but thank God my team supported me with that later when they found out that i was serious about this, thank you guys and that was the main reason to why i turned to be serious with deejaying stuffs till now, i wanted to challenge those guys who never thought that we can do something about deejaying.
