Hobbies
I look forward to creating big band symphonic arrangements and compositions in Jazz, R&B, Worship and African Folk Music. Additionally, I am working towards producing EP's and albums for Kenyan musicians and globally. I have interests in influencing a crop of new instruments not common to the Kenyan scene and consolidating skills for busking and song arrangements that encourage performance and expression once one has learnt and is skilled at an instrument. I'm also an avid jogger, hiker, and traveller. A lover of photography and nature. I'm open to challenge and the discovery of full expression through music and communication.
