Umoja Sounds are music production pacesetters with multiple decades of experience in the industry aiming to improve skills and professionalism, share knowledge, inspire and raise entertainment industry standards through uniquely collaborative and empowering audiovisual creation experiences.

This partnership vibes – it thrives on creativity and collaboration, and is driven by excellence and reciprocation. Balancing innovation, creativity and fullness of sound with an expert attention to detail is no easy feat. We aim to powerfully and demonstratively lead the way and raise the standards of the entertainment industry throughout East Africa and beyond.
We are the pacesetters when it comes to sound engineering, especially on cutting edge like Dolby atmos mixing for spatial audio productions. Last but not least, social responsibility is ingrained in UmojaSounds. We team up with community leaders, most recently in Dandora, a slum in Kenya to produce and create content giving local artists access to our top notch technology, producers and artist networks. We Vibe, Collaborate and Reciprocate.
