When DJ Etania says she’s the Life of the Party, she means it. After years of lighting up Kampala’s nightlife, she’s ready to take center stage with her first-ever headline show, “Etania Becoming Life of the Party,” set for January 2nd, 2026.
The announcement came right after her European tour alongside her partner Joshua Baraka, where the duo performed in Denmark, Finland, Germany, and the UK. The experience, she revealed on Instagram, helped her face her fears and embrace her power as both an entertainer and a woman in music. “That tour and the love we received gave me courage,” she said proof that this show has been in the making for a long time.
DJ Etania Has Become One of the Most Booked DJs in Kampala
Etania’s story is one of growth, rhythm, and resilience. Over the past few years, she’s become one of Kampala’s most in-demand DJs, known for her amapiano mastery and infectious energy behind the decks. Her sets are more than just music; they’re a performance a fusion of sound, movement, and charisma that always leaves crowds wanting more.
Her rise to fame began in an unlikely moment, during the COVID-19 lockdown. With clubs closed, Uganda’s top TV stations turned living rooms into dancefloors. NTV and NBS aired weekend “club nights” after 10 PM, and viewers tuned in from home. When NTV brought Etania on as the host of the NTV Mix Show, ratings skyrocketed. Her magnetic presence and dance moves turned a quiet Friday night into a national groove.
That was just the beginning. After years of hosting, Etania decided to step onto the decks herself and once she did, there was no turning back. Her transition from host to professional DJ was bold, but it paid off. Today, she stands as one of Uganda’s most respected female DJs and a trailblazer for women in entertainment.
Now, as she gears up for her debut show, the anticipation is electric. Fans know she brings more than just a party she brings an experience. With her energy, her sound, and her unstoppable drive, Etania isn’t just the Life of the Party. She is the party.
We will provide more details of the show as they stream in.
