Otile Brown says mothers are his guardian angels even though they steer clear of his concerts.
The singer, who was orphaned as a kid, opened up about the role mothers have played in shaping his music career.
In a post on social media, Otile reflected on how he lost his mother at age 12 and how women played a role in his career.
“Moms never get to come to my shows but I always know they’re my biggest fans and how much they love bizee. I lost my mother age 12 but since I came up in the game y’all have been my guardian angels,” he wrote.
Otile added that before he does anything he always think about how mother/fathers will perceive his actions.
“Before I act or do something stupid I would first think of how y’all ‘mothers/fathers’ fans will perceive it. Love always. Ain’t perfect but everyday I strive to earn y’all love. I need y’all love. It’s the greatest feeling ever. My soul feeds from it. Thank you.”
Otile, whose real name is Jacob Obunga, was born on March 21, 1994, and brought up in Mikindani, Mombasa, Kenya.
He is the last born child in a family comprising of three brothers and a sister. His parents died when he was still a kid.
Otile never got a chance to meet his father because he had separated with the mother and his dad went to live in Kisumu, while he remained in Mombasa with his mother.
The singer grew up visiting his grandmother and step mother in Kisumu.
Otile Brown started writing songs and singing in Mombasa at an early age of 13 before shifting to Nairobi in 2012.
While in Nairobi, Otile Brown bump into Comedian Jalang’o who offered to help him. Jalang’o sponsored Otile Brown’s first song after linking him up with Music Producer cum video Director Dr. Eddie who owns Dreamland music.
Jalang’o advised Otile Brown to pursue a singing career rather than rap after listening to his first rap song.
