Bio

Born in Kenya,Msanibongo started singing at an early age when about 7 years old along side his brothers.In the absence of real instruments they improvised empty tins for a drum set, Coconut brooms for guitars, and all sort of gadgets to complete a live band.Msanibongo comes from a rich musical background.His grandfather was a Rabai from the Mijikenda tribes in the coast of Mombasa,and that was who he was named after. George Bongo Mwamuye.bongo means brains. Bongo also means a traditional African drum.His grandfather, Bongo was a re known musician with a few traditional songs to his name. Their family prides in running some of very successful bands in the history of Kenyan music, these include The Mushrooms (Now Uyoga), pressmen band, and Tutu band amongst others. Coming from a musical background, music to him is like food to my soul, sweet and expressive. Especially in the stages in life when his father walked away from them, it was the only bond that kept them as siblings closer to each other, it was the only way they could express the hurt, despair and betrayal they felt. Then, Music is what soothed them to sleep, it filled their empty stomach when there was no food to eat for days, He believe music is a gift to him from heaven.Apart from being a recording and performing artist, Msanibongo is also a Music producer.Asante is his first solo project: a testimony of God greatness and what the lord has done in his life,He previously recorded an album with his brother in a group called The Firm-ly, www.myspace.com/thefirmly.HIs style is unique though and has blended a lot of other types of Music. It has a lot of Zouk, R&B, Lingala and some mild Hip hop fused with Afro Jazz.His songs are for every persons and nation ,to all who love to worship and prase the Lord,though it has a light bias to the youth. The full album has 7 songs.
