Content creator and social media personality Pritty Vishy has pushed back against widespread criticism following her debut performance as a disc jockey, maintaining that severe audio equipment glitches—rather than poor preparation—sabotaged her live set.
Addressing the backlash across her digital channels, Vishy explained that ongoing hardware malfunctions at the venue interfered with her monitor mix and deck sync, resulting in disjointed audio transitions during her scheduled slot. To counter online claims that she lacked fundamental mixing skills, the influencer uploaded a pre-recorded studio session to demonstrate her ability to execute clean track transitions under controlled conditions, while promising followers an unedited live video performance in her next release.
Vishy’s venture into the DJ booth reflects a broader shift within the regional entertainment landscape, where high-profile internet personalities increasingly convert online visibility into club appearances and event hosting roles. However, transitioning from digital content production to live audio performance carries distinct operational risks. Unlike pre-recorded media, live set execution relies heavily on venue acoustics, functioning sound monitors, and familiar hardware—variables that can quickly undermine an inexperienced performer during equipment failures.
While acknowledging that she is still learning the technical nuances of the trade, Vishy rejected calls to abandon her musical ambitions, stating that setup failures affect artists at every level. The upcoming release of her unedited live set will mark the first verified test of her mixing capabilities as she attempts to establish a sustainable presence in Kenya’s nightlife industry.
Culture is constantly shifting, and the art we create defines who we are. I love documenting the creative energy, music, and digital trends that shape our modern identity.
