Michael Mensah Ayenu, popularly known as DJ Mensah, is a Ghanaian DJ, events promoter and entrepreneur who hails from Denu in the Volta Region of Ghana. Born on 7 November to Christian parents, Mr Mathew Ayenu and Mrs Mary Ayenu, he started developing love for Djing at a younger age in his Junior High School days at Calvary International School in Madina, Accra.[citation needed]
Having a father who believed in the importance of education, DJ Mensah was allowed to choose the career of his choice only if he stayed in school. In senior high school, Tema Secondary School, he read business, before switching to Visual Arts. He then read Purchasing and Supply at Accra Polytechnic before getting a degree in marketing from Central University.
Ultimately, he doubted whether radio was the right fit. Working isolated in a studio meant losing the direct audience feedback he valued; he preferred the live setting of clubs and events, where he could gauge crowd reactions instantly.
He started to be a DJ in 1999 out of passion, and decided to take it up as a career when he started being paid as a DJ. His career took off when he met Nana Afful, a music event equipment owner who gave him a chance to use his equipment to sharpen his skills and also booked him for gigs. He also became the in-house DJ at Aphrodisiac Nite Club, and then Fred of Charter House, who is now with Evolution—who told him he was going to put him on the big stages then. True to his word, he found himself on the stages of Stars of The Future, Agro among others.
He worked as a manager for Venus World Multimedia and also was the Welfare Manager and Production Assistant for Empire Entertainment. He also worked with Xfm 95.1 as well.
He founded his non-governmental organization, DJ Mensah Foundation, and officially launched it in January 2018 with a charity event which provided free health screening and motivational talks to the juvenile inmates at the Senior Correctional Centre (formerly known as Borstal Home).
In 2026, he established PlayHouse Music Studio, a production facility for musicians, podcasters, and digital content creators.
