DJ Switch who wants to be a gynaecologist when she grows up, said she chose the name because she changes the mood of people.

"I came up with the name DJ Switch because when I was a kid I was switching up the mood of people. When you're sad I'll make you happy, when you're happy and you want to be more excited, I'll make you excited," she says.

She learned how to DJ about a year ago in a village in the Western Region. A DJ at a local bar in the village taught her how to use a laptop.
