About Frankie

The DJ the Kenyan diaspora calls first

Frankie, Deejay Dubwise, behind the decks

Music. Culture. Experience.

DJ Dubwise brings years of experience, musical knowledge and cultural insight to private, corporate and promotional events across the UK.

From the first conversation to the final track, every set is tailored to the client, the guests and the atmosphere — creating a seamless soundtrack with no surprises.

His career highlights include performing at a London reception held in honour of the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Wangari Maathai, as well as after-parties connected with the London Kenya Rugby 7s.

From 2007 to 2011, he also presented Look East on Voice of Africa Radio 94FM, a weekly show celebrating East African music and entertainment.

DJ Dubwise is currently the resident DJ at The Thatched House in Barking. He continues to perform across the UK and around the world while mentoring emerging DJs, with ambitions to take his experience and passion for music back to Kenya.

More than a DJ — a curator of sound, culture and atmosphere.
