The Kisumu born artiste, music producer and trumpeter has since relocated to Kenya where he is currently based at and took his sweet time to go to his ancestral home where he built his Simba (a house that every male child from Luo tribe has to build in his father’s land to complete his rite of passage to manhood) in Homa Lime Kowuor, Nyanza in Kenya.
