Early life and career beginnings
DJ Edwyn was born in Uganda but his family originates from Rwanda, on his father's side. According to an article in the Daily Monitor, one of Uganda's largest independent newspapers, DJ Edwyn has worked at the station since June 2013, after responding to a call by Crooze FM for a radio presenter. "I was put on air, remained focused and hardworking, grew through the ranks and I’m now a Music Director at the station. So, you can say my journey started in June 2013, and I have no idea when it will end because I love what I do!" as the humorous but no-nonsense lad put it in his Interview with the nation's biggest newspaper.
In 2015 Mwesigwa was selected as Western Uganda's "best radio personality of the year" for 2014.
