Story

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old songwriter/singer in Kenya. It has always been my dream to make my own music and share it with people. I write pop, Alt-pop and RnB songs. With my music, I want to convey emotions of empowerment, I want to show the power of individuality and vulnerability. I want to give an experience to my listeners. I’d also like to infuse my culture into my songs because I’m proud of where I’m from. For a little of backstory, I fell in love with music and performing when I first saw Diana Ross in the movie, ‘Double Platinum’. I also loved it when listening to Jackie Velasquez with my mom during road trips.

I’m very family oriented and they help me with my confidence and support me during my journey in my career. They keep encouraging me, as when I was 13, 16 and 17, I have been rejected and humiliated by producers and talent managers when I was showing my talent in exchange for opportunities. Even though, that shook my confidence and made me shy away from performing, I believe I have got it and can succeed no matter what and I’ll bounce back.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the luxury/opportunity to afford any professional recording studio sessions or music videos. I’m currently a student and I sell secondhand clothes, but I haven’t been able to make enough to pursue my passion and my other needs.

I am therefore asking for even a dollar from any well-wishers who’d be kind to invest in my dreams and follow me every step of the way.
