The Versatility King
DJ Kenny
Fifteen years. Zero limits. Three continents. Abuja is the origin, not the limit.
Born Kenny Emamode Ugbehe. An international DJ out of Abuja, with a collector’s ear for early rap and a standard built for stages anywhere.
Fifteen years on the decks. Club residencies, arena after parties, rooftop nights and festival stages across three continents. Shared stages with Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Cardi B. The record is public.
The range is the point. Afrobeats, amapiano, hip hop, rap, house, techno, R&B and open format, moved in one set without dropping the floor. The sound changes. The standard doesn’t.
Off the decks he is a producer, event manager and founder of 1nightonly_ng, the premium rooftop party running every Sunday in the capital.
