Kampire is a Ugandan DJ and writer whose boundary-pushing sets have made her a formidable force in the global electronic music scene. Emerging from Kampala’s bubbling Nyege Nyege collective, she is renowned for her energetic mix of East African bass, contemporary Afro sounds, and diasporic club music, all infused with the vibrant spirit of her home region. Kampire’s performances, both in Africa and around the world, are celebrated for their infectious energy and their spotlight on vital, often underrepresented, musical voices.

Besides her DJ work, she uses her platform to advocate for women and the LGBTQ+ community in the music industry, and her work as a writer and cultural curator underscores her commitment to expanding the narratives and spaces for African artists. With residencies, acclaimed mixes, and acclaimed festival performances spanning continents, Kampire continues to challenge conventions while championing the richness of Africa’s sonic landscapes.
