Kenyan embattled Mugithi singer DJ Fatxo has become a number-one trending topic across Kenyan social media platforms after a young interior designer fell to his death while visiting the singer.According to police records, 23-year-old Geoffrey Mwathi, alias Jeff, fatally fell from the 12th floor of a residential building named Redwood Apartments, around Safari Park Estate. Some are claiming suicide but his mother has refuted those claims.
Jeff had been in DJ Faxto’s house after spending the night partying with the popular Mugithi singer alongside his cousin and driver.
But who really is DJ Faxto?
DJ Faxto was born Lawrence Njuguna in Nyandarua County, a county that has also produced some of the best Mugithi singers.
The only child in his family, DJ Faxto is married with one child.
Before launching his music career, DJ Faxto was, indeed, a disc jokey who played at small-time establishments around Ruiru before he got his big break at KU TV where he was the resident DJ.
He was also a regular at some of Ruiru’s most popular night spots.
But it is while at KU TV that he met the now-defunct Sailors Gang, a Gengetone group which shortly made him their official DJ.
His stint with Sailors Gang, however, was short-lived and, during that time, the DJ’s singing bug bit him and a surprise music career would be born.
DJ Faxto went on to release his first single ‘Ndi Mang’a’ (I’m totally drunk) to a surprisingly wild reception from fans.
