Meet Bushy The Prince From Isiolo

As part of nurturing and supporting new talent, Africa on Stage is introducing Bushy Da Prince representing Isiolo.

Bushy DA Prince is a young talented uprising artist born and raised in Isiolo. He was still in high school when he started writing songs and performing in the school’s extravaganzas after he realized he had a passion for music.

But it was not till after high school that he got the opportunity to record his first song. This was in 2008. Unfortunately his first recording experience did not go exactly as planned. After coming back to pick up his recording, he found out that the studio he paid for had vacated to an unknown place

Bushy faced very many challenges but due to his strong determination, he did not lose focus or give up. His family and friends were not entirely supportive as they did not view a career in music as viable or serious enough. Hailing from Isiolo, they would rather see him focusing on their family business and their animal herds. This made things even more difficult for Busy as he had no financially or moral support for his music.

Being determined, he managed to get enough to record his first single about love- UTAM WA KUMNOKI. In his other recordings, Bushy aims at highlighting the life in Isiolo, and also putting the focus on issues that affect Kenya’s non-urban population especially in northern Kenya. He is currently working on his album.
