Dj Mo’s whose real name is Samuel Muraya was born on 31 January 1987 in Murang'a. He later moved to Maragua to live with his grandmother.
DJ Mo’s parents separated when he was in his teenage years thus was mostly raised by his mother. DJ Mo didn't have a relationship with his father. There’s not much to share about DJ Mo’s life history.
DJ Mo celebrates his birthday every 31 January. He is 35 years old and belongs to the Kikuyu tribe.
DJ Mo began his education at Maragua Primary School where he sat for his national exams.
For his secondary education, he went to three different schools - Mwarano High School where he did his form one, Jemos High School in Nakuru for his forms two and three and Magnet High School in Rongai where he sat for his KCSE and scored a D.
DJ Mo did not go to university because his parents couldn't afford to pay school fees. Even so, he knew he wanted to be a deejay.
As he was out and about, he came across DJ Neville with whom he shared his ambitions of being a deejay. Neville was paid Ksh 15,000 by a man named Dan Masai to train DJ Mo.

DJ Mo’s mixes have been played on-air across the country both on television and radio. He is one of the most talented and popular DJs in the gospel industry. But his journey can be traced back to 2006.
By the time the Pilsner Mfalme Challenge happened in 2010, DJ Mo had been on the decks for four years.
He entered the competition drawing inspiration from the 2009 Pilsner Mfalme Challenge winner DJ Crowbar. His only ambition was to win. DJ Mo got to the finals of the competition.

Despite his efforts - he slept in the office for an entire month to practise - he lost to his competitor DJ Nelly.
One of the reasons for that was he mixed gospel songs. The organisers preferred secular DJs as they were in a position to push the beer brand Pilsner.
Despite his loss, this was a breakthrough competition for DJ Mo. He won the Groove Awards in 2010, an accolade handed to him by the late Chris Kirubi.
This led to his job at Kirubi’s Captial FM. A week later, DJ Mo landed the Crossover 101 show at NTV. Awards and opportunities continued to stream in for DJ Mo who toured the US and the UK.

DJ Mo was the Crossover 101 deejay for ten years. Throughout that time, DJ Mo appeared on set with different hosts - Nancy Kihenia, Allan Thuo & Faith Muturi.
When DJ Mo existed crossover101 in 2020 amid a scandal, he hosted it alongside Grace Ekirapa. He has not been in the mainstream ever since.
On Capital FM, DJ Mo’s mixes were played on the Sunday morning breakfast show, The Sound.
During his stints on these two shows, DJ Mo christened himself Topa de Top. True to his nickname, he earned his place amongst the best DJs in the country.

DJ Mo did a reality television show, "Dine with the Murayas" which aired on NTV every Monday night.
The show revolved around his life and that of his wife, Size 8. The show ran for two seasons before it was seemingly dropped by NTV amidst DJ Mo’s scandals.
If you are interested in DJ Mo’s and Size 8 life updates, you can still follow them on their YouTube channel, The Murayas.
DJ Mo is the CEO of System Unit, an entertainment company that offers services in television production, event management, product and talent management as well as running a deejaying school.
DJ Tabbz who has made appearances on a couple of television shows is a product of the System Unit deejaying school.

DJ Mo’s love life was not really under public scrutiny until he got into a relationship with secular-artist turned gospel musician Size 8. The two secretly tied the knot in 2013 to the surprise of many.
As a result, Size 8 and DJ Mo’s wedding photos were nowhere to be seen. They have been together since and have shared their life story in numerous interviews including Woman Without Limits.
The first meeting between DJ Mo and size 8 was at a radio station where the latter’s brother worked.

They would later meet at different events where both performed and later exchanged contacts. That was the beginning of a friendship that ended in marriage and family.
One of the biggest transformations that happened was Size 8’s uptake of gospel music. DJ Mo revealed that he was very instrumental in this change as he always encouraged her to find her place in Christianity.
DJ Mo has only one wife in Size 8. Despite that, talk of him marrying a second wife surfaced. The question was redirected to Size 8.
Would she allow DJ Mo to get a second wife? Her response was a strong no. She referenced the Bible and stated that polygamy is sinful. Plus, she vowed never to let it happen at least while she is around.
DJ Mo and his family | Source: Instagram
DJ Mo and Size 8 have two children and are expecting a third. DJ Mo’s daughter is called Ladasha Belle Wambui and their son is Muraya Junior. DJ Mo kids heavily feature on the couples' Instagram as they keep their fans updated about their life.
Before DJ Mo committed to Size 8, he dated popular blogger Joy Kendi. This must have been before 2013 as DJ Mo and Size 8 were married then.
It’s not clear why DJ Mo and Joy Kendi broke up as their relationship was not publicised.
DJ Mo comes from a family of four children. He has two sisters - Tabitha and Virginia and a brother called Patrick. Contrary to belief, DJ Mo’s brother is not television host Martin Kimathi.
The two resemble one another and pass as blood brothers but they aren’t related. Little is known about DJ Mo’s siblings.
DJ Mo was raised by his mother after his father left. The deejay admits that he is very close to her. DJ Mo’s parents would later reunite. For that, DJ Mo gifted them a house.
DJ Mo rocked the headlines for the better part of 2020 and 2021 for all the wrong reasons. Here are some of them.
It is said that there are seven other people who look exactly the same as you. If that is anything to go by, then, the case of the twins who resemble DJ Mo could well be just that.
DJ Mo himself refuted claims that he fathered two other children outside his marriage. He stated that it was a case of someone trying to Turkish his name.
Again, DJ Mo was at the centre of another baby daddy drama. Rumours were rife that the DJ fathered a child with another popular DJ, Pierra Makena. The striking resemblance between Pierra’s daughter and DJ Mo raised eyebrows.
DJ Mo cleared the air in an interview he did with his daughter Ladasha. He said he would never reject his blood.
Plus, he further joked the resemblance could be attributed to the fact that both he and Pierra are DJs. He also pointed out the fact that kids usually look alike.
News of DJ Mo cheating on Size 8 must be one of his biggest scandals. DJ Mo’s affair was made public by popular blogger Edgar Obare.
Obare claimed that Margaret Wanyama was DJ Mo's side chick. She even shared intimate messages and moments she exchanged with DJ Mo including nudes.
DJ Mo’s cheating scandal is said to have cost him his job as Crossover 101’s resident deejay.
In his defence, DJ Mo admitted to the mistake and stated that he was still rooted in God. He also asked people to stop passing judgement.
Size 8 shocked many including DJ Mo when she stood by him after the sex scandal.
The couple even used part of their reality television show Dining with the Muraya’s, to make peace.

No one wants to ever admit that they got fired. Whilst reports suggest that DJ Mo was fired from NTV after his cheating scandal, he maintains that he didn’t renew his contract. He further stated he was not jobless.
In what was seemingly a show of bravado, DJ Mo said that he now makes more money than he ever did when he was on television.
In an interview with a local online channel, Mo said that he generates 80% of his income from businesses and the rest through his entertainment gigs.
In 2015, DJ Mo had a brush with the law when he was on his way to Nakuru with his wife. The cops alleged that he was overspeeding.
Upon his arrest, he was willing to toe with the police to the station. However, the police were more interested in taking a bribe something the DJ declined to do.
According to DJ Mo, his stance is what led to his harassment. He further stated that the police falsely charged him with driving with tinted windows and resisting arrest. He posted for a Ksh 10,000 bail.
Television presenter Joyce Maina is another woman linked to DJ Mo. She posted a picture with a man whom people concluded was DJ Mo.
She addressed the claims and stated that she doesn’t know DJ Mo personally and that she doesn’t date married men.
We’ve all heard of Njoki Chege and her hot takes on current affairs. She has an opinion on almost anything.
After DJ Mo revealed part of the approach he used when he dated his current wife Size 8, Njoki Chege took to her column to respond to DJ Mo.
Njoki Chege opined that DJ Mo holds backward views on marriage. Further, she wrote that he owed his wife an apology. DJ Mo fired back at Njoki Chege.
He stated that the writer should keep out of people’s business and poke holes in her love life. He said, “I heard that she couldn’t even keep a man.”

This house is estimated to have cost DJ Mo some Ksh 50 - Ksh 100 million. DJ Mo and Size 8 previously lived at Edenville Two Estate along Kiambu Road.
