About Me

My name is Judy Mugo, born in Kirinyaga County near the famous Mount Kenya. In fact the name Kenya is a corruption of Kirinyanga which foreigners found too hard to pronounce and my country got her name from that! Kirinyanga is a cold place with many meandering rivers which originate from the snow capped mountain. It is famous for tea production as well as other agricultural produce.

I went to school when I came of age and I joined clothing and Textile College after completing my secondary school. I then moved to Mombasa town after getting married where we settled and started a family. We were blessed with three kids now aged 13, 6 and 2 years old.

I am in music industry but I also sell insurance policies on part time basis. I am a hardworking person who endeavors to secure the future of her family.

My Business

Ever since I was a small child, I had a strong liking for music. I was very active in school choral music as well as in church. I later decided to turn my hobby into a career where I get paid for entertaining people in social gatherings such as weddings, business promotions etc.

I produced my first audio album late last year and it has been well received by my fans. I am not known beyond Mombasa and I need to do a bit of travelling doing its promotion so as to reach more people. It is for this reason that I have decided to join Zidisha program and ask for a loan to enable me meet the travelling costs.

I specialize in gospel music.

Loan Proposal

Entertainment business in Kenya is going through a major transformation. Some years back, viewers where satisfied with any video quality and our recording budget was quite low. Today's viewers demand a much better quality and one has to invest quite a lot to produce video recording that meets their expectations.

For this reason, I would like to use this money to record two of my favorite songs into video. The budget for this around $200. I will use the balance to do mass production and marketing of the songs. I will be glad to share my songs with you on Youtube once this project is complete. Thank you.
