ABOUT ME.
My childhood education began in a remote village in Bomet county, Ndanai division.I started schooling when I was five years.
During my primary school life I had to trek for more than five kilometers since the schools were far apart. my parents were peasant farmers and had to rely only on little land we had and we were able to adapt to that environment of becoming hardworking person.I came to start my business when I dropped out of college for lack of school fees. since I had a lot of passion in music I decided to engage in music industry. As I had gained a lot of interest from my mentors and musicians who dominate my Chepalungu constituency in Bomet county.Our land is of red volcanic origin and it favors mostly tea and dairy farming.The kalenjin people where I belong are lovely living together in peace with other tribes enjoying their traditional milk"Mursik". The only only challenge we had is to sensitize most of my youths and all people to adapt change and forget their past customs and culture which allow circumcision for girls( FGM, Female Genital Mutilation) which make young girls abandon school at tender age and get married to young men.
Our children dream of succeeding in school and be professional leaders ready to embrace positive change and lead this country to another level free from corruption and tribalism.During my free time I like sensitizing the public especially youths, young girls and boys to embrace change and leave past cultural barbaric acts like circumcision.playing keyboard, composing songs,poems, reading and motivating the talented persons.
