Mdundo.com has in partnership with Safaricom unveiled a new subscription service that gives access to DJ Mixes at Ksh5 per day. The service also aims at improving monetization of music among artists and reshaping user experiences.

The service, which is exclusive to Safaricom customers, can be accessed by registering via on Mdundo after which customers can discover new artists or enjoy unlimited music downloads and fresh DJ mixes daily.

By providing a consistent income stream, the partnership supports artists in their pursuit of sustainable music careers. A healthy financial pipeline allows artists to focus on creating more music and developing their talent.

“Collaborating with Safaricom to introduce our subscription plan is a partnership that re-enforces our commitment to enriching lives through music.
