In Kenya, gospel disc jockey and recording artist Keziah Jerono, widely known as DJ Kezz, has seen her latest single “Wanaogopa” gain traction on streaming platforms and social media even as she continues a personal religious transition from her previous Christian ministry background to Islam, a path she publicly announced in July 2025.
DJ Kezz first earned recognition in the gospel music scene and as a DJ supporting spiritual and worship‑oriented events. In mid‑2025 she confirmed her conversion to Islam, saying the decision was a result of a long‑standing spiritual journey and that she had embraced the faith, including adopting a new name while maintaining involvement in music performance.
Her new gospel‑inspired track “Wanaogopa”, released in March 2026, has attracted attention for its message and reception among listeners who enjoy spiritually themed music across different faith audiences. The track is available on digital music platforms and has been highlighted by music curators and streaming services.
In her public remarks about her conversion, Kezz noted that she continues to respect her musical roots and the impact her work has had on listeners, reflecting a personal blend of artistic expression and individual belief.
Broader context: In Kenya’s diverse entertainment landscape, artists sometimes evolve in their spiritual and creative paths while still maintaining an audience for their music, illustrating how personal change and professional output can coexist.
Further developments or commentary from the artist may emerge as the music continues to circulate and as public interest in her work grows.
