I was born in Nairobi,the capital city of Kenya.I grew up in Dandora estate which is in the Eastlands area.I attended Jogoo Rd primary school then proceeded to St.Teresas' Boys high school.In my life in the city,I was fascinated by matatus.Matatus are public transport vehicles which exhibit defiance by playing loud music and mostly of all having graffiti sprayed all over them.
This unique ,rough art really worked my creative juices because at one time as I can remember in primary school,my English teacher caned me severely for drawing a matatu on the classroom wall.
However, it is after finishing high school that I dedicated myself fully in this art.There I met designers like Hassan,Moha,Jeff and Jaymo.The first three are the most popular and the last was my teacher.Afterwards ,I quit and decided to go solo into a more respectable field i.e.painting.
