DJ WIWA

Winfred Wanjiku Muchiri, known as DJ WIWA, is a Kenyan DJ and disability advocate who became an internet sensation after millions watched her mix tracks using her feet. Born with cerebral palsy in Kirinyaga County, a condition that disabled her arms, Wiwa learned to operate turntables with her legs, and in doing so created one of the most compelling stories in East African music.

Encouraged by her late mother, Wiwa enrolled at a DJ academy in Nairobi in 2018. She has since performed at international events including the Baobab Summit in Rwanda, the Beijing+30 Review Consultation in Ethiopia, and is set to perform at the Zero Conference in Austria.

She founded Wiwa Entertainment, offering deejaying and sound services that also mentors aspiring talents with disabilities, free of charge.
