DJ Mensa - “Music is the soul of life”



Dj Mensa always takes each day to be a learning process. I see life to be dynamic and I see myself as very special because not many people do what I do. My name is Michael Mensa and Dj Mensa is my claim to fame.


I never take the easy way out of life but I try my best to keep a glamorizing lifestyle to make me look good. I am a club Dj and I am proud to be working with the biggest and hottest night club in Ghana.


I believe Music is the soul of life and can you imagine how life would have been without music.


You would’n??t find me talking too much since I make my hot fingers burn the players to produce good music or better still I try to show the subdued murky side to DJing.


I try to exhibit the part of me that leaves an indelible mark on your heart and mind 2burn deep inside you.


Dj Mensa is a force to reckon in the game of hip pop, R n B, High life and Hip life in Ghana. I have been working as a Dj close to eight (8) years now and I can say the journey has been long. I started with sound max entertainment. This is where I use to play parties, Christenings and even funerals.
