Known as the “Untouchable” he holds a track record of very successful events to his name such as Akwaaba UK’s “December In Ghana” events, “Party in the Park” as well as his annual DJ Mensah “All White Party” and CEO of event company A-Town entertainment.

He was also nominated for the Best DJ at the Ghana music and Arts Awards Europe . 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. 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, that is 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.[2] He further did a short course in Djing and Radio Hosting and Presenting at Ghana Institute of Journalism. He holds a certificate from RABODEF in Radio Broadcasting as well. With all these, he was not sure he wanted to work in a radio station locked in a little booth where he could not see the reaction of the people for whom he was playing. He wanted to be on the scene like the club DJs and event DJs and feel what was happening in real time. He started Djing in 1999 as a 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.[4] He also became the in-house DJ at Aphrodisiac Nite Club, and then Fred of Charter House, who is now with Evolution, 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; and worked with Xfm 95.1 as well.[6] He is currently a Managing Partner at Akwaaba Group Company, a multinational company whose focus is on providing premium hospitality services through events promotions and media publications. 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). The appearance of The Untouchable DJ at events is a signal that BET winner Sarkodie is coming on stage and this obviously is an enviable position he occupies.
