DJ Somi

Samuel Muthomi (Dj Somi) hails from the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya and loves fusing the horizontal type of African beats and melodies with the vertical lines of Western contemporary sounds, creating an Afro-groove with a rootsy percussive style.

At a very young age, his Uncle nicknamed him Somi, short for Muthomi which he would later on adapt as his stage name. A lawyer by profession, it was during Dj Somi’s time in the UK studying for his Masters in Sports Law in 2007 that he found his calling in music. While working part-time for the prestigious bar & restaurant, The Living Room in Nottingham and Leeds between 2008-2009 he gained an interest in deejaying and took the opportunity to buy himself his first Dj gear.

In 2010, he re-located to his home country Kenya where he studied for the bar (law) and thereafter practiced law, while deejaying part-time in events and venues in Nairobi. He recently embarked on a solo music career in March 2014 and is currently working on his debut album amongst other music projects.

She is also part of the wider ELECTRAFRIQUE family, a worldwide network of Artistes in Fusing afro and Electronic sounds across the continents.

SURAJ

After making his debut in Nairobi, SURAJ has emerged as a dynamic, trailblazing DJ/Producer in East Africa. Since then, he has set his sights on becoming a beacon in Africa’s burgeoning electronic music scene.

In just a matter of time, his music & live shows have become a fixture for fans and DJs alike and made his talent and captivating personality known to many on the continent and around the world. As he continues to shine and become even more sought-after, SURAJ is honing his skills and making every release and performance better than the last.
