She’s conquered television, dominated fashion, and lit up social media — now, Ugandan media sensation Sheilah Gashumba is spinning into the music world with the launch of her DJ career under the name DJ Lil Stunner.
Known for her bold style, unapologetic voice, and influence across media and entertainment, Sheilah is now making waves in the music scene with a unique sound that blends Amapiano, House, Afro-Soul, and authentic Ugandan rhythms. It’s a sonic experience she describes as immersive, genre-defying, and proudly African.
“This isn’t just a side hustle or trend. I’ve trained, I’ve studied, and I’m ready to take over,” Sheilah shared confidently through her team.
Sheilah’s transformation into DJ Lil Stunner didn’t happen overnight.
She underwent formal training under the guidance of renowned DJ Edwizzy Selekta and earned her stripes with a professional certification from RISE DJ Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa. This solid foundation has prepared her for a pan-African and global debut, with promotional performances already lined up in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, the United States, and Europe. From club appearances and festival takeovers to interviews and pop-up sets, DJ Lil Stunner is set to electrify dance floors and redefine the African DJ scene with her fresh perspective and high-energy sets.
With this leap, Sheilah aligns herself with some of Africa’s biggest DJ names — Uncle Waffles, Black Coffee, DJ Maphorisa, Naked DJ, and DJ Zinhle — artists who have not only dominated stages but also transformed DJing into a global art form. “Sheilah’s sets are more than music. They’re a celebration of African identity, womanhood, and creative freedom,” said a source close to her team.
This venture marks yet another evolution in Sheilah’s dynamic career, cementing her as a multifaceted African powerhouse in media, fashion, and now music. As her global journey begins, fans can expect exclusive content, surprise performances, and a thrilling expansion of her brand. Whether behind the mic, in front of the camera, or now behind the decks, DJ Lil Stunner is a force to watch — and listen to.
