DJ Lomwe is best known for representing Malawi in Big Brother Africa Amplified, where he made it to the final, garnering a huge following in the process. He is a multi-talented radio presenter, tv presenter and musician. Big Brother Africa Amplified’s finalist, Lomwe, started his entertainment career in 2005 when Malawi’s biggest radio station, FM 101 Power, held auditions looking for the freshest talent.

He was one of the three presenters chosen out of 500 hopefuls and has since become one of the most recognized DJ’s in Malawi, having hosted both the breakfast and drive-time shows. He also has extensive experience as a club DJ who’s played all over Malawi and has become a main feature at the popular International Malawi Music Festivals such as Lake of Stars for the past four years.

In 2011 Lomwe propelled himself to new heights when he was a participant in Big Brother Africa Amplified.

His stint on Big Brother Africa Amplified showcased his diverse talent and resulted in him being endorsed by the Malawian Ministry of Tourism as an ambassador and being backed by the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) as a goodwill ambassador. Lomwe is now based in South Africa and already making waves after he appeared on one of Africa’s most watched soaps called ‘Rhythm City’. He plans to pursue acting further to broaden his media career. As part of his brand extension he has decided to also venture into music recording with the latest CD release titled ‘Double Wowza’, which is collaboration with his friend and Big Brother Africa’s house mate from Botswana, Zeus.
