Leo si Thursday, but hii TBT is quite interesting in my journey as a DJ. π
Back in 2016/2017, I enrolled in the Gifted DJs competition. At this point, I was broke broke kabisa ile yenye sikuwa hata na cash ya kulipa bedsitter yangu huko Kawangware. ππ Story for another day!
So, my plan was simple: I hoped I could win the competition, get the DJ decks they were gifting us, sell them, buy myself an Uber, then get some smaller decks for doing events whenever I got called.
Honestly, I had joined the competition just to see if I could win. I figured if I became an Uber driver, I could at least make some decent money because that time Uber ilikua inalipa poa and hopefully I could keep up with rent without struggling. ππ
My friendβ¦ I didnβt win. π I made it to the Top 3, but my heart was shattered. I asked God so many questions, but I didnβt get the answers I was looking for.
Then the following year, gigs started opening up. And looking back now, I can literally see Godβs hand in everything.
So this is for anyone who feels like giving up: PLEASE DONβT. ππ½
Sometimes the blessing is delayed, but that doesnβt mean God has forgotten you. What feels like a disappointment today might actually be God redirecting you to something much bigger.
God always comes through. β€οΈππ½
