DJ Nimrod: The Story of Nabeeta Nimrod, Kampala’s Club DJ, Radio Presenter and Influencer

Every city has a few names that people link with its nights out, and in Kampala, DJ Nimrod is one of them. Born Nabeeta Nimrod, he has spent years building a reputation behind the decks, on the radio and across social media. Today he is a resident club DJ at Club Amnesia, an influencer and an award-winning presenter.

His rise did not happen overnight. It began in school halls, on stage and on the dance floor, long before the big clubs. This is the full story of how a young dancer from Kampala became one of Uganda’s recognised entertainment personalities.

Who Is DJ Nimrod? Age, Real Name and Background

DJ Nimrod’s real name is Nabeeta Nimrod. He was born on 19th June 1987, which makes him 39 years old. He is a Munyankole by tribe, and his family origins are in Ibanda District in western Uganda. Although his roots are in the west, he was raised in Kampala, and the capital’s music, nightlife and fast-moving culture shaped the entertainer he became.

School Days: Dancer, Entertainment Prefect and Famous Classmates

Nimrod’s love of entertainment showed early. He studied at St Steven Bweyogerere and later at Kitante Hill, where he served as the entertainment prefect. The role put him in charge of the fun side of school life, which is a fitting start for someone who now entertains crowds for a living.

He was also a dancer in school, performing for his schoolmates. That early experience gave him a feel for what makes a crowd move, and that instinct is central to being a good DJ.

His school years also overlapped with people who became prominent names in Ugandan entertainment. He went to school with Bobi Wine, Chameleon and Ragaddie.

After secondary school he went on to earn a Diploma in Business Administration from Multi Tech Business School. Alongside his creative talent, he has formal training in how business works, which matters for any entertainer who treats his name as a brand.

The First Gig: Victoria Tavern on Kampala Road

Every DJ remembers the first night behind the decks. For Nimrod, his first ever performance was at Victoria Tavern on Kampala Road, in the busy centre of Kampala. He first worked with DJ Frankie, an early connection that helped him learn the craft.

The Big Break: DJ Apeman and the National Theatre

A major turning point came when Nimrod connected with DJ Apeman, who was then considered the biggest DJ at the National Theatre. DJ Apeman later left that platform for Nimrod, handing him a much bigger stage and wider exposure. In an industry where visibility is everything, the move helped carry him from a young DJ with potential to a name with a following.

Club Amnesia and the Singles Bash

Today, DJ Nimrod is a club DJ at Club Amnesia, one of Kampala’s popular nightlife spots, where he keeps the dance floor busy. He was also the former host of the Singles Bash at Club Amnesia. Hosting the night showed another side of him: a DJ who could control the music and also the room.

Radio Presenter, Influencer and Brand

DJ Nimrod’s career goes beyond the club. He works as a radio presenter and as an influencer, which gives him an audience well beyond the people who can make it to the dance floor on a given night. Between club DJing, radio, hosting and social media, he has built several lines of work around one personality.

Awards and Recognition

His work has earned him recognition over the years. His awards include:

• Radio Presenter of the Year 2017
• Best High School DJ
• Other awards and honours during his career

The range, from school entertainment to professional radio, reflects how long he has been performing and how much he has grown in that time.

Family Life: Children and Relationships

DJ Nimrod is a father of three children. His past relationships include Nambi Brenda, with whom he has two children.

DJ Nimrod’s Net Worth

DJ Nimrod’s net worth is estimated at UGX 200 million. His income is generally linked to club performances at Club Amnesia, radio presenting, event hosting and influencer work. Like all celebrity net worth figures, this is an estimate and may change.
