Music producer and artist Magix Enga has issued a raw, heartfelt plea to Kenyan event organisers for a chance to perform his hit songs.
The ‘Dundaing’ hitmaker admits he has people depending on him as he struggles to secure live bookings despite a massive catalog of anthems.
Enga, who has faced a turbulent two years, insists he is “not begging” but demanding a professional opportunity to connect with his “real” fans.
The award-winning producer and musician took to social media on Monday, January 26, 2026, to deliver a desperate appeal to event promoters.
Despite having produced and featured on some of the biggest club hits in East African history, Enga revealed he is being sidelined while others take the stage.
“When will I finally perform all my big songs?” Enga asked his followers in a poignant post.
“Event organisers wa Kenya, is there something I don’t know? I have people depending on me. You all know my songs.”
The producer, whose real name is Njenga Chege, has been open about his rollercoaster journey over the last few years, including a highly publicized stint in rehab and financial hardship.
However, his latest plea highlights a more urgent reality: the struggle to provide for his family.
“I am not begging, I just want to perform for my people,” he clarified, eager to move away from the “charity” narrative.
“Followers wangu ni real, na wanaongezea daily, giving up is not an option.”
Enga’s catalog includes chart-topping hits like ‘Dundaing’, ‘Watoto Na Pombe’, and ‘Mambo Ina Flow’, yet he claims there is a mysterious “barrier” preventing him from being booked for the lucrative live circuit.
Despite the apparent snub from promoters, Enga is refusing to let his “Midas touch” go to waste.
Alongside his appeal for work, he issued a call to arms for fellow musicians, promising that his latest beats are “life-changing.”
“Wasanii, mrudi studio. I have beats that can change your life,” he added, signaling that while his pockets may be light, his creative genius remains intact.
The post has reignited a fierce debate about “gatekeeping” within the Kenyan music scene.
Fans have swarmed his comment section, tagging major festival organisers and demanding that the man who built the “Gengetone” sound be given his flowers while he can still smell them.
While some critics point to his past personal struggles as a reason for the lack of bookings, Enga’s supporters argue that his talent should outweigh his history.
As one fan noted: “We listen to his music every day in the clubs; why isn’t the man himself on the stage?”
As the 2026 concert season kicks into gear, the question remains: Will the promoters answer the call, or will one of Kenya’s most brilliant musical minds be left out in the cold?
