I am a villager.I was brought up in the village in the 70's and 80's and only came to the city in 1991 after failing to get enough A level points to get me to university and my family unable to get me anywhere else.so my grandma sold a banana and gave the hundred shillings train fare to Nairobi. I came attended a theater academy audition and passed and have worked in the theater or related field of sound and lighting technician/operator and Deejay .
My son (7 yr old) wants to be a pilot when he grows up so he can be a hero saving people needing medical attention in remote places.
i provide deejay music and Public address systems to conferences and events.My typical cost are transport Kshs 2 000 and hire of sound equipment Kshs 10 000 per event per day.I make a profit of between Kshs 7 000 and 12 000 per event per day.I want to own my own equipment to start making more so i can reinvest and grow the business,my dream being to have a set of equipment upcountry to keep the youth there busy.
I chose this business because this is where i am most networked in
My DJ controller is misbehaving a little bit so i have to take it for servicing and possibly might need a few repairs on the pitch slider. This will cost 50 dollars.The controller is the main equipment i have and it benefits the youth in my hood as they come to my house to practice DJ skills and so keeps them off the streets.the long holidays begin today so it will help a lot to have it functioning.Also to get it ready for the anticipated business upswing that happens for the Xmas season.
