The scripture states that a ‘man’s gift makes room for him’, so with this truth, Kelechi “DJ K” Amadi used his love for the Gospel to spread the message of hope, redemption and peace to a lost generation via his dee-jaying and marketing skills.

Having given his life to Christ in 1998, DJ K was keen to share his new faith with his peers, and as an avid music fan, the Spirit led him to discover alternative, uplifting and positive urban / street Gospel styles.

Thus in June 2002, he purchased his first DJ decks, and by that summer; he had the opportunity to minister in music at a friend’s birthday party. Inspired by fashion, the trends of the streets and the power of brands, it was inevitable that the concepts and theories that underpin design and marketing became the vehicle by which Kelechi established an award winning business amadidesign.

Set up in 1999, his clients range from the private, public, community and charity sector, to Christian churches and organisations. Utilising his graphic, web and business acumen, Kelechi applied his knowledge to packaging and selling the Good News through Gospel music, to an audience that could relate to today’s more urban, Hip Hop culture.

This led to the development and launch of ‘Throw Ya Hands Up (TYHU)’ (in December 2002), North London’s longest running Gospel youth event. Reputable artists such as FourKornez, Green Jade, Prodigal Son, GKReal and Ekklesia have performed to crowds of over 300 young people.

The cafe provides high quality entertainment in relaxed, informal surroundings. Events take place in the recently refurbished hall of the Methodist Church at the top of the High Street in Maidenhead. Drinks (Tea, Coffee, Cappuccino, J2O's, Coke etc) are available from our bar, along with various light snacks throughout the evening.

Entrance is by ticket (£5:00 available on the door, or in advance). Contact us on info@artscafe.org for details or tickets.
