A laptop and a hostel room
At university, I played music for my friends with nothing but a laptop and a pair of small speakers in our hostel. No decks, no lights, no crowd beyond the room. Just the love of making people dance.

Event recap
2012 to today, in the moments that made me.

At university, I played music for my friends with nothing but a laptop and a pair of small speakers in our hostel. No decks, no lights, no crowd beyond the room. Just the love of making people dance.

My big brother Kasule bought me my first set of music equipment. He believed in the dream before anyone else did, and he has been a stepping stone at every stage of this journey.

My first DJ controller, a Numark, and the very first Moustey Deejay logo printed on a T-shirt. Every set since started here.

Before anyone paid me, I played for friends, for free. Living rooms, bookshelves and a crowd that would not stop dancing. That is where I learnt to read a room.

The gig that started it all: a wedding on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda’s deepest lake, booked through Fenon Events. My first time playing as a professional, and I never looked back.

Some days the crowd was ten people and a lawn full of empty chairs. I played every one of those sets like it was a stadium, because one day it would be.

DJ Pita taught me everything I know about traditional events: the customs, the timing, the music that moves families. Most importantly, he gave me room to make mistakes. Every introduction I play today carries his lessons.

My first time on stage as the main DJ, at Standard Chartered’s evening party. Pro Pioneer decks, a big screen behind me and a corporate crowd to win over. That night I knew this was my career.

Fenon Events kept calling. Gala dinners and award nights like the Tumaini Awards moved me from living rooms to ballrooms, and set me on the road that led, years later, to the O2 Arena.


After training under DJ Pita, this was my first traditional event on my own, in Masaka. Kanzu, blazer, my trusty Numark. It went so well that, for the first time, I was called out in front of the elders and guests and thanked for the music. What a day. It gave me the confidence to carry on.

Two years after starting on a beginner’s controller, I owned my own equipment: speakers stacked to the ceiling, flight cases and proper decks. Every event now ran on Moustey sound.


Before and after
In 2014 I played events in a T-shirt and shorts. Let’s just say the style needed work. In 2017 I stepped up in a tuxedo, and it changed how Uganda saw the DJ at a wedding or gala: not just the music guy, but part of the occasion.

The same year I put on the suit, I stood on stage at the UG Mix Maestro Awards holding the trophy for Best Events DJ. Three years after my first professional gig, the industry had noticed.

A bride moved her introduction date just so I could play it. On the new date I fell seriously ill, but I had given my word. I played the whole ceremony with a cannula still in my hand. That couple became family, and they still are today.
After the award, Oscar Ntege, the same photographer who captured my first professional gig at Lake Bunyonyi, came back to shoot this one. A DJ, a controller and an old bicycle under a huge sky. It had the socials talking for weeks.


When COVID shut every venue, I took the party online. I headlined my own livestream as the artist, with a full live band playing on top of my mixes. Today DJ-and-band shows are everywhere. We were doing it in lockdown.

Together with Real Deejays and Clicks of Hope, I visited the Light the World orphans’ home in Iganga with scholastic materials and supplies for the children. People gave me a chance once; this was a small way to pass it on.

From the early days of learning on the job and getting things wrong, to this: a bride and groom calling me onto the floor to hand me a box of their wedding cake, in front of all their guests. Some thank-yous mean more than the fee.

Twelve years after a wedding on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi, the Wedding Culture Awards named me among the Top 10 Wedding DJs in Africa. From the T-shirt-and-shorts days to this: proof that treating every wedding like the most important night of someone’s life pays off.
From a small beginner’s controller to pro-standard setups in some of the finest venues in the region. It has been God since day one.
