Kenyan Dancehall Just Got Better Thanks to This Teen Sensation

Kenyan teen sensation “Mishu” is set to take over Kenya’s dancehall scene upon the release of her brand new record “Downtown” produced by Washroom Entertainment.

In her new track Mishu whose real name is Michelle Ngugi seeks to bring to the fore escapades of a young girl from a well to do background “Uptown” who fancies a boy from the other side of town “Downtown” but her mother and the people around her won’t let her because he is from downtown.

This is the second major project from the 17 year old songstress who is a GCE student at Aga Khan High School after the release “Irie” a dancehall track she featured in. Mishu has a bias to reggae and dancehall due to its uniqueness as a genre and that it addresses the societal issues that relate to what people go through every day.

Her reggae influence came about after she interacted with a Rastafarian friend from Grenada, Michael Campbell who she says opened the doors to the world of consciousness for her, “he made me see my with the first eye as opposed to my two naked eyes” she says.

The talented vocalist is a member of Dreamville, a music group made up of two other artists Web and R.H. with whom they have recorded lots of music. Mishu has sampled Samantha Jay’s “Tight Up Skirt”.
