Kenyan gospel DJ Lifa celebrates hitting 100 million streams

Kenyan gospel DJ and producer DJ Lifa has reached a monumental milestone, amassing 100 million career streams across platforms, a feat he describes as “humbling evidence of God’s power.”

Known for his soul-stirring praise mixes that blend Kenyan hymns with international worship anthems, his music has become a global beacon of hope, touching listeners from Nairobi to Atlanta.

Lifa’s journey is one of faith and purpose. “Every mix is prayed over. The Holy Spirit is my producer,” he says, emphasizing his commitment to spiritual integrity over chasing trends.

 “My audience is global, so I curate music that connects hearts whether from Nairobi, Lagos, or Kingston,” Lifa explains.

He adds, "I may explore new sounds, global gospel trends, and production techniques to keep things fresh, but I never compromise on the spiritual foundation. The goal isn’t to entertain; it’s to edify, inspire, and lead people closer to Christ."

Reflecting on the milestone, Lifa remains grounded. “This isn’t just about numbers. It represents lives impacted, hearts encouraged, souls healed, and the lasting hope the gospel brings,” he shares.

"I’m deeply grateful that millions have chosen music that edifies and draws them closer to God.”

While local gospel influences anchor his work, he skilfully weaves in global sounds to keep his mixes fresh yet uncompromisingly faith-driven. “I rely on God’s direction for every creative decision,” he says. “Sometimes, I wait months or even years for His leading, but that’s what keeps the music spiritually uplifting and culturally relevant.”

Looking ahead, Lifa is preparing to release a collaborative gospel album in the coming year, a project he says aligns with God’s calling for this new season.

"I’m working on releasing a music album with other artists in the coming year. That’s where God has been leading me lately, and I’m excited to step into this new creative season," he says.

Alongside this, he’s launching a mentorship drive to nurture aspiring gospel DJs. “This isn’t about me it’s about raising Kingdom ambassadors,” he declares, determined to multiply his impact and leave a legacy that glorifies God.
