My passion for music began at an early stage in life as I used to listen to my grandmother and mother singing. I had always dreamed of furthering my music studies; unfortunately, I did not have the money to study abroad since the subject was not being offered locally at the time.
In a bid to raise money for my education, I organised concerts. It was at this time that I was introduced to the then Attorney General ‘Sir’ Charles Njonjo, who told me to organise a fund-raising concert and he would be the chief guest. I still look back with gratitude for his benevolent help.
