In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I loved singing in the choir when I was in primary and high school. I was very shy and would often tend to hide in the back, but singing soprano automatically made me stand out and pushed me to get more comfortable singing in the front. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Evanescence, Fallen Mariah Carey, The Emancipation of Mimi Michael Jackson, Thriller These three albums reflect my eclectic taste in music. I love Mariah's voice, her vocal arrangements and her harmonies. I love rock music and Fallen album touched a sweet spot. Thriller pushes boundaries and explores different instruments and sounds.

Highlights so far are working on and releasing my self titled EP in 2022, performing at Sofar Nairobi in 2023 and collaborating with musicians and producers exploring new sounds and levels of creativity Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes!!! To perform at Blankets & Wine festival, to have a viral song would be amazing to experience and to keep performing for the rest of my life. Pure and Simple. To keep singing.
