#WCW – Avril Nyambura, The beautiful song bird

Celeb Profiles

Avril Nyambura

By Sheila Kimani (@sheilakimm)

Her recent hit ‘Nikimuona’ is the talk of town, with fans insinuating that she sang it in honor of her South African fiancé. However, in one of her interviews, Judith Nyambura Mwangi a.k.a Avril clarified that the song was not necessarily her life story, but a reflection and narration of what happens when people fall in love.

Born and bred in Nakuru, Avril Nyambura attended Lions Nursery and Primary School then attended Moi Forces Academy- Lanet and St. Joseph’s Girls Nsambya in Kampala in Uganda for her O-levels,. During her school days, Avril had love for the arts which influenced her course of choice in the University of Nairobi.

Avril did her A’ levels at the School of Art and Design and graduated with a degree in Product Design. It was during her campus years that her musical talent grew, and her talent was spotted by Banda and Ogopa deejay’s producer.

Initially hesitant  to join the music scene, Avril received encouragement at Ogopa Deejay’s where she worked on her vocals and got to release her first video ‘Mama’ in 2009. Overtime, she got to meet established artistes who served as mentors and musical collaborators. She also got the chance to work on features and collaborations alongside Colonel Moustafa, Marya, AY and other top artistes.

In 2012, she scored her first acting role on Shuga’s Love Sex and Money which ushered her into the Kenyan acting scene. Overtime, she has taken part in several movies and series, all of which have built her acting portfolio.

Her great love for acting and music has seen her amass fans from both fronts. Work aside, Avril’s love life has been making headlines since word went round that she was engaged to a South African Man.

In a recent interview with Dj Crème, she mentioned that she would soon tie the knot and hopefully he would deejay at her wedding. With a blossoming musical career and prowess in acting, Avril is not only a star but an inspiration to many youths. It is on that note that she is our WCW today.
