01 About

Rooted in Afro House, Afro Tech and Gqom.

Tayo is a DJ based in Nairobi. She's passionate about music, about discovering different sounds and creating experiences that connect with people.

In May 2026 she was the first female DJ to play Tea Time, and they booked her back for their two-day edition in Nakuru in August. She has also played Bloom Sessions, Naya Nights and ABZ Sessions at KODA, Studio Can-V, Kijane's Kiota at Muze Club and AMAOONTZ. Between gigs she goes live on TikTok.
