Music, Hustle & Festival Dreams: Kasey Omwanda's Story
Summertides didn’t just appear out of nowhere, it was born from a bold gamble and a dream. In this episode, Kasey shares how his brother first introduced him to DJing, sparking a love for music that would change his life. When the chance came to chase his vision, he convinced his parents to take a huge risk, handing him 500K shillings meant for school fees so he could start his events dream. Against the odds, the very first edition of Summertides didn’t just break even, it brought in 1 million in cash. What started as a gamble turned into one of the most exciting festival brands in the region. This is the untold story of how courage, music, and hustle built Summertides.
