For Shadmuziki, the journey into music began with something simple — a birthday song sent across distance.
Eight years ago, while still finding his footing in Nairobi, he recorded a heartfelt tune for his sister.
What followed was the spark that would shape his destiny. Impressed by his voice and aware of his love for Nigerian-inspired sounds, she challenged him to think bigger — and even sent him money to buy his first guitar.
He walked the streets of Nairobi and came back with a KSh 7,500 guitar and a bag whose price he barely remembers.
Today, that same artist now commands performance fees starting from KSh 150,000 — proof that consistency truly pays.His early days were not without struggle.
While starting university, finances were tight. When his then-girlfriend suggested a classy outing at Blankets, he had to decline.
Instead, he jokingly offered a humble picnic at Karura Forest — a memory he now recalls with laughter and gratitude.
Ironically, his first experience at Blankets & Wine came years later through a surprise call from Wuod Omollo, who gifted him complimentary “soft life” tickets.
Expecting a regular experience, Shadmuziki found himself ushered into the VIP section — a moment he describes as unforgettable.
Since then, attending the festival every December with his supportive sister has become tradition.
She is not only a loyal fan of the event but also one of his biggest believers.
Now, the dream has come full circle: Shadmuziki is officially set to perform on the very stage he once admired from the crowd.
After years of preparation, training, and quiet persistence, the Nairobi singer is ready to deliver.
As he puts it, fans should expect a beautiful experience — and an unforgettable show.
