He would be top ranked as a pioneer in Kenyan showbiz thanks to his career that spins back to 1991 when he was involved in the Look, Think, Stay Alive project, a campaign about road safety, his presence in the Mbalamwezi Players group, as well as his prowess as a music show host on the KTN program famously known as Jimmi Jam and then there was Club Kiboko where he entertained the young generation.

Overtime, the star became a proud husband and father and it was last weekend when he received traditional gifts from his soon to be in laws. With his daughter Chantal getting a baby girl back in 2014, the family has been gearing up towards finishing up the much needed traditional exchanges before Chantal can officially become a wife.

Jimmi expressed his excitement on social media saying

Receiving the final gifts from my soon to be Son In Law.....Waa....My daughter is about to officially become a wife! #MunguMkubwa.

With his friends congratulating him here are some of the comments some of which referenced his long time within the industry.
