He graduated from multimedia university with a degree in journalism. His passion for music elevated him to the top.

”My first DJ set nilipata in 2010 after kumaliza Form Four; my dad ndio alinibuyia my first set. The same person mwenye hakuwa anataka ni DJ, alinibuyia headphones and a hard disc as a present. Alikuwa amenichallenge nikipass exams nitapata the set…”

The DJ is currently one of Gengetone’s biggest proteges. He has also featured in several hit songs of the genre.
