Megarider hitmaker David ‘Nameless’ Mathenge had to contend with fame and empty pockets early on in his stellar career after striking it big on the Kenyan pop charts while a student at the University of Nairobi where he was studying architecture.

Speaking to comedian Felix Odiwour alias Jalang’o on Kiss 100, Nameless said he was thrown into the deep end after Megarider in a flash became an anthem across the region necessitating an urge by the public to put a face behind the magic voice that belted out the hit tune.
