Pritty Vishy has announced that she is walking away from DJing, weeks after making her debut and facing criticism over her performances.
The 24-year-old content creator shared the announcement on Instagram, saying she had reached a point where choosing peace was more important than continuing with the new career.
“I never imagined I’d say this. Sometimes walking away is the strongest thing you can do. 💔🎧 Today, I’m choosing peace. Goodbye, DJing.”
Her announcement comes after a difficult introduction to the Kenyan DJ scene, during which her first performance attracted significant online attention.

‘Male DJs were on my neck’
In a separate video, Vishy spoke about the criticism she had received from male DJs after entering the industry.
“I never expected male DJs to be on my neck. Just imagine, a 24-year-old against 90% of DJs in Kenya.”
She questioned whether the experience would eventually make her lose the desire to DJ.
Her latest Instagram caption, however, indicates that she has now made her decision.
Vishy had entered DJing after expressing interest in the craft and beginning to share mixes with her followers. Her debut quickly became a major talking point, but the difficult first performance and subsequent backlash have now been followed by her announcement that she is stepping away.

“Goodbye, DJing.”
