2 mins read

Prior to the beginning of his solo musical career, Krina who is a talented trap-soul and pop artiste from Naivasha, Kenya was part of an all-boys band called “Strange Voices” that was disbanded due to its members indulging in illegal activities such as involvement in criminal activities among other vices that he can’t mention.

These developments forced him to put his musical career on hold for a while until l 2012 during his birthday to be precise when one of his friends challenged him to go on stage and rap because the friend knew that he was as talented as they come.

From then on, he has never looked back on his musical career. He later tried his hand on the piano and the guitar before proceeding to audio production at Gigs records in Kiambu which was owned by one of his friends.

In 2013, Krina recorded his first studio record in his hometown, Naivasha at Wanji records. He later recorded 12 songs under his mix tape ‘Bad Things Happen’ which was not well promoted.
After a short stint to revive his musical career, the rapper later joined Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology for a business management Course in 2015.

While there he met Dimax Entertainment Manager, Godwin who took him under his wing and introduced him to professional music production and rap.

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
