DJ Nimrod is a Ugandan DJ and radio host widely known in Uganda because of his deejaying skills.
What Is DJ Nimrod’s Age?
Nimrod Nabeeta, popularly known as DJ Nimrod, was born on June 19 1987, to Mr. and Mrs. Nabeeta in Ibanda District, who later relocated to Kampala after his birth. Although he grew up in Kampala, he was raised by his mother and rarely saw his father during his upbringing.
DJ Nimrod is 39 years old.
Education Background
While in Kampala Nimrod attended Christ the King Nursery School before joining Buganda Road Primary School for his primary education. He later joined Kitante Hill School for his O-Level education, completing his A-Level studies at St. Stephen’s Secondary School in Bweyogerere.
His interest in entertainment developed during his time at St. Stephen’s Secondary School, where he served as an entertainment prefect and became increasingly interested in music and deejaying.
He would organise school entertainment activities and spend time around DJs, which is where he began learning how the equipment worked. Rather than simply watching other DJs perform, Nimrod wanted to learn the craft himself.
He later joined Multitech Business School where he pursued a Diploma in Business Administration after initially joining a Computer Science class which he did not complete.
From Carrying Speakers to Becoming a DJ
After completing his secondary education, Nimrod joined Image Sounds Disco a mobile entertainment company where he worked under experienced DJ Frank Kibuule, popularly known as DJ Frankie.
His first job was not to perform in front of audiences but to help carry speakers, set up equipment and keep crowds entertained while the main DJs worked.
Although the job came with a small payment of UGX 5,000 per night, Nimrod considered it an opportunity to learn rather than a way of making money. By spending time around experienced DJs he gradually learned how to operate mixing equipment, control music and entertain audiences. He also looked up to established DJs such as DJ Shiru whose skills inspired him to improve his own.
His dedication eventually earned him opportunities to perform and in 2007 he began playing at Victoria Tavern along Kampala Road before moving to other entertainment spots including Club La Beaujolais, Virgin Island and Club Amnesia, establishing himself in Kampala’s nightlife scene.
DJ Nimrod’s Rise to Fame
As Nimrod gained experience in different clubs and entertainment spaces, he began attracting attention within Kampala’s entertainment industry getting opportunities to perform at major events and work alongside big names in the industry.
DJ Apeman gave him various opportunities, including a performance at Theatre La Bonita while his work with Fun Factory and different clubs further increased his visibility.
In 2012, he performed at the P-Square concert at Cricket Oval which was his first major concert and a breakthrough that introduced him to a much wider audience strengthening his reputation as one of Uganda’s emerging DJs.
DJ Nimrod gained fame and began receiving bookings from many people who wanted him to perform at their events.
Radio Career
In 2013, he joined Galaxy FM when it was preparing to establish itself in Uganda’s radio industry. His combination of DJing, entertainment and communication skills helped him connect with listeners on his mid-morning show Tukoone making him one of the station’s pioneer presenters.
Nimrod initially hosted a programme called Midmorning Tukoone, which aired on weekdays between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. The show combined music, listener interaction and relationship discussions.
One of its most recognisable segments was the Love Doctor hour during which listeners called in to seek relationship advice, share romantic experiences and sometimes ask him to help resolve misunderstandings with their partners.
Through this segment Nimrod became popularly known as the Love Doctor. He also served as Galaxy FM’s brand and promotions manager.
His Work Beyond Radio and Deejaying
Beyond his work as a DJ and radio presenter, Nimrod established himself as an events MC, marketer and entertainment organiser. His experience entertaining audiences in clubs and at major concerts helped him develop skills in hosting events, promoting entertainment activities and working with different brands.
DJ Nimrod also became part of Galaxy FM’s promotions and marketing team, where he took on responsibilities beyond presenting programmes. This allowed him to build relationships with various people in Uganda’s entertainment industry, creating more opportunities for himself.
His Leadership in Uganda’s DJ Industry
His hard work paid off when he became president of the United Deejays Association of Uganda an organisation established to bring DJs together and represent their interests within the entertainment industry.
In March 2026, he announced that UGX 110 million had been secured through the Uganda National Musicians Federation to support DJs through their SACCO. The money was intended to help registered DJs access financial support and grow their businesses.
DJ Nimrod’s Awards
In 2015, he won the Best Kadanke DJ Award. He also received the Best High School DJ Award and an award recognising him as the Best DJ in a competition organised by Makerere University Business School (MUBS). These achievements showed his growing popularity among different audiences.
Who Is DJ Nimrod’s girlfriend and his kids
DJ Nimrod completed his traditional marriage ceremonies, although he keeps his partner’s identity off social media to protect his family’s privacy.
He has three children, two boys and one girl from a past relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Nambi Brenda popularly known as Booticious Ravy Brandy. He has also spoken publicly about his experiences in relationships, which have occasionally attracted media attention.
In November 2023, Nimrod revealed that he had briefly dated Ugandan media personality Maureen Naluwooza popularly known as Momo19 without initially knowing that she was involved with singer Daxx Kartel. He made the revelation while discussing his past relationship experiences.
His dating life has therefore sometimes become part of his public image particularly because of his radio identity as the Love Doctor where he regularly discusses love and relationship matters with listeners.
Challenges and Controversies in His Career
In April 2020, he was arrested while distributing food to fellow DJs during the COVID-19 lockdown over allegations that the distribution attracted crowds and violated social-distancing guidelines.
In November 2021, he was also arrested during a police operation over alleged violations of COVID-19 restrictions. Beyond these incidents, Nimrod has had public disagreements with musicians, including A Pass over his music and Sheebah Karungi during a Uganda National Musicians Federation meeting in 2023.
He has also faced criticism from fellow DJs over his leadership of the United Deejays Association of Uganda particularly regarding the management of relief support and financial assistance. These incidents have placed him at the centre of several public discussions within Uganda’s entertainment industry.
