DJ Kezz Converts to Islam: Former SDA Gospel Star Begins New Spiritual Chapter

Kenyan gospel DJ and former Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) musician, DJ Kezz, has officially converted to Islam and changed her name to Jerono Wangare. Known for her powerful presence in the Christian music scene, DJ Kezz shocked fans with the announcement shared on her verified Facebook page.

🙏 DJ Kezz’s Religious Transformation: From SDA to Islam

DJ Kezz first rose to fame as a member of the Msanii Group Choir, a popular SDA gospel group in Kenya. She later embarked on a solo music career, releasing Christian songs that moved away from strict SDA teachings. This shift sparked controversy, particularly around her dressing in music videos and collaborations with non-Adventist artists.

Her most notable collaborations include:

• “Moyo Wangu” ft. Guardian Angel

• A project with comedian and entertainer Oga Obinna

Despite backlash, she continued to grow her audience across denominations before announcing her conversion to Islam in July 2025.

📣 What DJ Kezz (Jerono Wangare) Said on Facebook

“My walk with God didn’t begin in church — and it didn’t end there. I’ve been walking a spiritual journey for years, asking hard questions, loving Jesus, studying faiths, and letting God speak in unexpected places.”

“My choice to follow the Islamic path isn’t sudden — it’s sacred. It’s honest. It’s mine.”

“Faith isn’t a box. It’s a calling. And I still answer.”

🔥 Public Reactions: Facebook Comments Flood In

The news drew mixed reactions on social media. Here are some of the top comments from Kenyan Facebook users:

• Playwright Kirwa Joash: “Your words radiate courage, depth, and spiritual integrity.”

• Tommy Tommy: “It’s all about your relationship with God rather than religion.”

• Julie Wanja: “What about the church you helped build? Will it be converted to a mosque?”

• Brian Kibet: “You still need to come back to Adventism in your search for truth.”

• Miriam Kemunto: “Be where your spirit is fulfilled—but consider talking to a mental health professional.”
