It is never an easy task to get to the Kenyan music limelight unlike Issah Mmari, popularly known as E-sir, who made it as early as 19 years. Unfortunately, he left us too soon.
E-sir was born on 20th may 1981 in Nairobi’s California estate and raised in South C. He started his education at St. Anne’s Junior Academy and later attended high school at Brookhouse Senior School where he started rhyming and writing poems, initially for fun.
