When The Standard caught up with George Njuguna, popularly known as deejay Crème de la Crème, he had just arrived in Kericho on Saturday afternoon after a busy working trip in Nairobi.
TThe move began with a visit that turned permanent. But at the end of the day, we moved because there were no jobs. If they shut down clubs for seven months, no matter how much money you have saved, you will feel the pinch in your pocket. I used to make money to support my family through deejaying in clubs and now all that was gone. I used to make about Sh250,000 per week spinning in about four gigs, and now here I was making nothing with a young family relying entirely on me
“My wife couldn’t believe we were actually moving, but this was important if we were to manage life through the hard times. We had to swallow our pride, even as everyone wondered how I, arguably Kenya’s best deejay, would move back to what you would call village life. I knew this was the only way out and explained to my wife that we would start all over again,” he notes.
