They must have been talking about Jaduong the artiste when they said that “Your talent will make you dine with kings”. Jaduong is super talented artiste whose prowess has made him popular amongst Kenyan leaders and celebrities.
It all started when he presented his pencil art to President Uhuru Kenyatta who gladly flaunted the painting in appreciation.
Jaduong’s star kept shinning months later with a portrait of Obama and the United States First Family left the President dazzled.
Overtime, he kept on dropping phenomenal portraits of Kenyan public figures, among them Jeff Koinange who is now his personal friend thanks to his immense talent.
His latest pencil portrait of Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko got people talking again as senator Sonko flaunted a crafted pencil art on social media . He even asked fans to help him congratulate Jaduong’ for his prowess in pencil art
Thanks to his impressive talent, Jaduong’ has fast risen to become a national celebrity art wise. A young man from Kisumu now living his dream;doing what he loves most. There is no denying that his art will take him places!
