As DJ Evolve recovers and finds himself again, he shared his thoughts about the process

Felix Orinda aka DJ Evolve personifies resilience as well as determination after he was partially paralyzed in January 2020 following a shooting incident at a popular Nairobi club. The injury he sustained damaged his spinal cord which left him fighting for his life thus altering significantly both his career path and personal life. Recently however, reports indicate that he has regained his voice which signifies one of the great milestones in healing; henceforth evoking sympathy from fans and good will but also evoking admiration.

A Journey of Resilience

For DJ Evolve since then, it has been a series of several surgeries, frequent hospitalization and intense rehabilitation journey all through. The nation was thrown into shock when the news broke out about the shooting that happened in 2020 amidst questions on justice, security and how survivors handle such tragedies. In spite of this mentally disturbing experience coupled with immense physical pains over time period lasting three years DJEvolve displayed remarkable levels of survival instinct within himself considering what are more than mere circumstances could ever make possible.

“In our discussion a little while ago, DJ Evolve looked at himself sharing how far he has come since that night. “At times, I did not know whether I would survive,” he opened up. “But thanks to my family, friends and doctors who supported me, I had enough courage to keep going.”

His Voice Resumes

DJ Evolve’s journey to recovery could not be complete without referring to regaining speech as one of its most important milestones. Because of injury-induced incapacitation right after the gunfire incident, he could not talk at all. However through an arduous process of rehabilitation therapies and hospitalizations DJ Evolve has gradually found his voice back again. The movement towards talking again has given him a new joy as well as life meaning.

She said “I was mute for so long!” and this made me remember how she once secluded herself because she could not talk to anyone. But now I can converse again; it feels like I am getting part of my life back,” he reveals. DJ Evolve’s journey of restoring his speech has been found to be an important part of the healing process for him. Not only is it physical but also a psychological one. For DJ Evolve, more than just being able to talk again represents coming into terms with who he is after trauma. The ability to speak has helped him restore contact with family and friends while urging him never to stop telling his story.

Self-Discovery and Mental Health

Turning back to DJ Evolve’s recovery, he has simultaneously used it as an opportunity for self-reflection and personal development. In spite of this, he has remained extraordinarily upbeat in his beliefs on mental health and how important resilience is throughout difficult times. He confesses that it hasn’t always been smooth sailing; frustration and doubt have punctuated the path. That said, he now embraces what is left of him rather than mourning all that has gone away.

“I’ve had to learn a lot about patience and accepting help from others,” he said. “This journey has taught me more about myself than I ever knew. I’m grateful for the small wins and the chance to see life from a new perspective.”

Through experience DJ Evolve has become a very potent advocate for mental health awareness, mainly to individuals who have gone through trauma or suffered life-changing injuries. His ability to speak openly about the challenges he faced, ranging from the physical toll of injury to emotional strain, has made him an inspiration for many people. Therefore, he uses his platform to encourage others who are facing difficult situations to look for help and remain hopeful even though it may seem like everything is dark.

Looking Ahead

However, DJ Evolve acknowledges that his journey is still not yet over despite this progress he’s made. He still undergoes physical therapy as part of rebuilding his life personally and professionally. Returning to DJing which has been a major part of his life remains a strong desire within him; however, he knows that patience will be required on the road ahead.

“I won’t quit my aspiration,” DJ Evolve uttered. “I understand it will require a while, but I have faith that I will be reunited with the decks in due course.”

The way he has healed serves as an example of the might of optimism, fellow feeling, and tenacity. Supported by friends and family as well as a medical staff, DJ Evolve concentrates on what lies ahead for him, convinced that the injury will not be a hindrance in his life.
