“Ghetto Superstar” Living in US Makes A Comeback With A Hot New Release!

The streets nicknamed him the “ghetto superstar” because he never hit the charts or radio but even the kids recognized him as he did his neighborhood rounds. “I have the most respect for the streets of Nairobi, Kenya because they made me what I am”, reckons Daddy V.

Daddy V’s first live show was at Lipps disco in Nairobi when he was just 13 years old. Soon after, he made Nairobi’s Florida 2000 club his home. He was a regular performer at the club’s talent shows popularly known as “Jam session”. This is where Nairobi’s underground artists converged to showcase their talent.

Florida 2000 Jam sessions produced artists such as Hardstone, Gidigidi Majimaji and Redsan who are big artists and pioneers in Kenyan music. In 1997, Daddy V won the coveted talent show, which gave him even more credence on the streets. However, because he could not afford studio time, he never recorded any of his music.

Daddy V continued performing as an underground artist until he moved to the United States. His style of music is a fusion of dancehall (ragga) and African rhythms. Daddy V released his breakthrough album Nare which won him and Awards at the Msanii awards and his song Nare was the soundtrack of the blockbuster movie Malooned under Kilimanjaro records label in Minneapolis USA .

And now, Daddy V has teamed up with Lovy Longomba in LA Cali to produce his first Hit in his new and upcoming album. The song is called Promise Me and is getting airplay and being received well in USA and Africa.
