Speaking to Mbu, DJ Adon, who has worked with some top music brands, including Jose Chameleone and Ziza Bafana, and performed at some of the big stages, counts his blessings and also reveals how challenging his career has been thus far.

I developed a passion for deejaying earlier on in school and started actively pursuing it in high school.

Listening to local artists and the love of music, generally, influenced me.

I am an open format DJ and versatile. I am capable of blending all types of genres.

I love Reggae and Rnb, Dancehall.

Playing at B Club, Kampala. I also got a chance to work with several international artists on the same set, including the late Costa Titch (South Africa), Crayon (Nigeria), and many more.

I listen to music 24/7, so I keep updating myself with the latest releases. I also give time to the oldies, which makes it easy to understand and set my preps for any upcoming event.

So far so good. It keeps growing, bringing new talents, and my role in pursuing and uplifting the Ugandan local music scene won’t stop.

Growing up in Uganda shaped my love for local music. I also appreciate local culture a lot.

While still new in the game, it’s hard to get gigs and connections. Most talents suffer at that stage, and they are frustrated and forced out of deejaying, regardless of their passion and love for it.

I was Ziza Bafana’s official DJ. I have also worked with Jose Chameleone. I have also teamed up with producers like T.O.N. and already have musical projects in the works.

I aspire to grow my brand, build my legacy, and, most importantly, take the game to the next level while helping younger DJs build up, and I’m planning to launch a DJing School/Academy.

I am a fan of football. That’s my second hobby. I enjoy watching it, and I play it too.

I always focus on growing and avoiding distractions. I get strength from my spouse; she always encourages me and gets me going.

Wake in the morning, exercise, make my preset preps, and do some production as well.
