Kenyan singer Michael Clevar Odhiambo, alias Naiboi, has really come a long way. He is proof that sheer willpower and perseverance can take you from the bottom of the pie the top.<\/p>\n

He made his debut in the local music industry in 2003 as Rapdamu but only came to be recognised in 2017 when he released Problem<\/em>. That is 14 years of nothing but diligence and hardwork.<\/p>\n

The Pacho Records founder doubled up as a producer and musician until five years ago when he decided to focus on one craft; music. He hired a couple of music producers to help him at his studio as he shifted his focus to becoming a household name.<\/p>\n

This transition saw him ditch the name Rapdamu for Naiboi which he says was inspired by the need to fight for the Kenyan sound at a time when Nigerian music had taken place over local radio stations.<\/p>\n

He released a couple of songs after his metamorphosis. Some of them include; Too Much<\/em>, Smooth Criminal<\/em>, Kidege<\/em>, 4Mulla<\/em>, I Wanna Be<\/em>, Ding Dong<\/em> and Dinda<\/em>. However, none of these songs received massive airplay like 2 in 1<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2 in 1<\/em> was the biggest song in 2018 until King Kaka, Kristoff and Magix Enga released Dundaing<\/em> and narrowly edged out Naiboi at the Pulse Music Video Awards (PMVA).<\/p>\n

Before we wrapped up the year, Naiboi dropped another joint dubbed Usipime Mwanaume<\/em>. As expected, the song was received well by his fans.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, he released a new collabo with Kristoff titled Somaga<\/em> and as is the norm, the song is getting massive airplay. This goes to show that things can only get better for him. Naiboi is a point where anything that he touches turns into gold. Quite literally!<\/p>\n

Listen to Somaga<\/em> below and tell us what you think.<\/p>\n
