Meet Kenya’s Own “James Blunt”

In 2002, James Blunt put down his rifle to become one of the leading singers in the UK. His debut album sold 11 million copies, led by the success of his hit song, You’re Beautiful. Closer home, one KDF soldier is following in the footsteps of Blunt.

Though he’s not planning to quit his army job, Bonny Mosh General has dedicated his spare time to preaching the Gospel through music. Born in Muhoroni, Bonny started doing music back in high school.

“I was an entertainment prefect. I used to enjoy listening to local and international rap music. I’d write a lyrics then perform to an imaginary audience. I would fantasise I was at Carnivore performing alongside the likes of Nameless. On completing my secondary education, I relocated to Nairobi. I would hang around Calif Records to see how the likes of Jua Cali do their stuff,” he reveals.

Even when he’s at the warfront, Bonny doesn’t let his passion for music slide. He says that in 2012 when he was serving in Somalia he was still an entertainer.

“I would rap to the small audience. My friends would request me to perform.”

When he came back into the country, he went to Homeboyz and recorded his single, Father God and did the video at Ogopa Deejays and just like that, he launched his music journey.

Bonnie has already built up an impressive fan base with hundreds of fans following him on his Facebook page and is grateful to his seniors in the army for supporting his singing ambitions.
