His real names are Ousmane Wanjohi Maregwa, born in a family of seven (4 sons & 3 daughters) in Mombasa (the major Coastal city in East Africa), 30th Aug 1980. Being son of a retired Senior Superintendent of Kenya Prisons. He attended high school at St. Columbus High School, Nakuru (a major town in Rift Valley, Kenya).
His interest in music started at the age of 9 when soul music was rocking the show. He used to find himself imitating Bobby Brown & Jimmy Cliff; he really wished he could sing like them. Though too shy at that age, he didn’t let anyone know about it for he was afraid of being laughed at, when his age mates were out busy playing, He kept this whole thing under raps until he joined high school. During this period his longing for attention lead him to start pursuing his interest in music. He used to attend to talent searches organized in school and even in some occasions he would scoop a prize. People were amazed by his unique voice and that’s how he started becoming popular, after completing his secondary education, he started chasing his dream which is music.
He first secured a recording deal at Scratch Records in Nairobi (the Capital of Kenya) October 2002, and released his first single 'jaribu tena" which means try again, but didn’t receive much air play as he had anticipated for. In April 2003 he recorded his first hit song called "dundaa" meaning bounce and later that year did a video for it, which scooped a C.H.A.T. award, contending against other established artists like Prezzo, Tattuu and Wakimbizi in the best new artist category, he came on top of the pile. In July 2004, he realized his second and third songs "rising sun and V.I.P. love" that later became hit songs in August.
The “Rising Sun” video managed to be in the top ten charts up to date i.e. on the national radio (K.B.C.) call-in charts for 2 months, and nation TV’s "the beat" ( One of top Music shows in East Africa). He has completed his twelve track album. His major inspirers are Jimmy Cliff, Bobby Brown, the late reggae icon Dennis Brown and Wycleff Jean. One of his core beliefs is that nothing can beat talent, hard work and commitment to achieve one’s career goals.
