This Afro Urban sensation was born in Nairobi Kenya in the summer of 1982. By the time K-G was 14 he was exposed to various genres of music and started gaining interest in music as a subject and a hobby. In the back of his mind he knew making it would be difficult without getting the proper exposure especially coming from a middle class African family in an African country which at that time had no proper music industry structure. At the age of 17 K-G joined an accapella gospel group by the name of Nawez. They met while in boarding school where he was earning his high school education. Within two years the group had become one of the hottest Gospel groups in the region. During this time K-G also took his music education seriously. He learned a lot in terms of vocal training and performance. With Nawez K-G achieved a lot by performing along with the best groups at the time in East Africa as well as doing radio interviews and over 300 concerts in two years. During this period the East African music industry underwent a change for the better; and hence laid the groundwork for K-Gs future. Some of his influences were artists like Seal Papa Wemba, Lucky Dube, Bob Marley, and Wyclef Jean. Later on he developed an interest in the Dave Mathews Band. In addition to his influences his other backbone to music is his rich East African heritage. The region's music has over the years been influenced mainly by drum beats and accapella elements found in K-Gs own style coupled with the contemporary/urban mix. K-G brings to the forefront nothing less than authenticity. Contact us at:
