About Kanzu
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 13, I made my first beat and immediately fell in love with music. My friends and I made an Avicii-inspired beat on FL Studio. It changed my life & I never looked back.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Burna Boy, African Giant Chris Kaiga, Adventures of Chris Kaiga Nasty C, Bad Hair In some way, all these projects have helped me look at music in a different light. They are all African artists with very distinct sounds. I want to differentiate myself as clearly as these three artists have.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Settle Down” My friends and I took a road trip to Kisumu for this song. It was the first time I ever travelled for music. That trip opened my mind and allowed me to see that music can open doors.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? At my grandmother's funeral, someone walked up to me to shake my hand and say that he's a big fan of my music. I had been recognised in a context which I never expected to be recognised in.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would like to tour Kenya performing in different cities, then organise an African tour with other similar Nairobi artists. The eventual goal is to get 10 million fans - and to build a beautiful life for myself and my family.
