About

I deliver a vibrant and soulful live performance that blends Afro-soul, Rumba, and authentic East African rhythms into a captivating musical experience.

Whether I’m backed by a full band or performing an intimate acoustic set, my shows are designed to connect deeply with the audience — evoking emotion, joy, and cultural pride.

Each performance is tailored to suit the mood of the event, from high-energy festival stages to elegant corporate functions or private ceremonies.

My repertoire includes original songs like “Nyar Homabay (Iyoyo),” “Awino,” and tracks from my Zero Pressure EP, alongside reimagined classics that resonate across generations.

Expect powerful vocals, poetic storytelling, and heartfelt moments that leave lasting impressions. I aim to not just entertain, but create a shared experience where music becomes a bridge between hearts, cultures, and stories.

My music is a soulful fusion of Afro-soul, contemporary Rumba, and indigenous East African influences. Rooted in storytelling, my sound reflects the beauty, struggles, and spirit of the African experience — blending smooth melodies, rhythmic percussion, and emotive lyrics that resonate across cultures.

I sing in English, Swahili, Luo, and other regional dialects, creating a rich, multilingual soundscape that bridges tradition and modernity. Each song is crafted to carry emotional weight, whether it’s a love ballad like “No One Else,” a cultural tribute like “Nyar Homabay (Iyoyo),” or an uplifting anthem like “Nitafika.”

Listeners often describe my music as warm, healing, and deeply expressive — the kind that speaks to the heart. I draw inspiration from African legends and global soul icons, but always remain true to my roots and personal voice.

Ideal for live shows, cultural showcases, and soulful settings, my music creates atmosphere, sparks conversation, and leaves lasting emotional impact.

As an experienced recording and performing artist, I bring professionalism, passion, and cultural richness to every event. With a growing presence online, I’ve built a loyal audience who value authenticity and musical depth. My performances have graced both intimate venues and larger stages, with music that speaks to diverse audiences — young and old, local and international.

Clients benefit from a performance that’s not only musically excellent but also emotionally engaging and culturally grounded. Whether it’s a corporate event, cultural festival, wedding, or private concert, I tailor each set to suit the tone and vision of the occasion. I pride myself on being easy to work with — respectful of time, mindful of the event’s goals, and fully committed to delivering a memorable show.

By booking me, you’re getting more than an artist — you’re getting a meaningful experience that uplifts, entertains, and leaves a lasting impact.

Songs

My music is a dynamic fusion of Afro-soul, contemporary Rumba, and vibrant East African rhythms, combining rich melodies with powerful storytelling.

Drawing inspiration from the sounds of global artists like Bien (of Sauti Soul) and Burna Boy, my work bridges traditional African roots with modern, global influences. Much like Bien’s smooth Afro-soul vibe and Burna Boy’s fusion of Afrobeat with international styles, I bring a unique mix of passion, energy, and cultural authenticity to my original music.

With a focus on deep, emotive lyrics and infectious rhythms, my songs invite listeners into an intimate journey of love, culture, and life’s complexities. Whether it’s the soulful hooks, the rhythmic percussion, or the heartfelt lyrics, my music creates a powerful connection with audiences both locally and internationally.

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.
