Ohangla music star Osogo Winyo has opened up on why he had to move back to his home town in Migori to perform locally. John Okinyo alias Osogo Winyo fell in love with singing while he was in primary school. Owing to the fact that his father was a guitarist, the Ohangla hit maker closely followed in his footsteps.

When he was in Standard Seven, Osogo Winyo, together with his elder brother, joined a man who played 'orutu', a traditional single-stringed instrument in Migori. They then formed a local band but dropped out when he joined Form One. Osogo Winyo later got into Ramogi dance which was loved by local residents.
