Nanjira Finally Leaves Maqbuli Of Capital FM.

I first heard of Nanjira when she was the lead singer for mA3 band, and personally I’m intrigued by people with very unique names. I told myself the day I meet her, I was gonna ask her what her name means. I forgot. Back to the title, yes she did leave after Maqbuli roughed her up…I’m talking about the new video “Walking” directed by Macharia.

Nanjira is now a solo artist, and recently launched her much awaited debut single ‘Walking’ produced by Blackman. Blackman is the producer behind Sarah Mitaru. Have you watched walking unplugged version? It’s the truth! Her voice is like candy coated raindrops that sink into your skin. Okay you get the drift. Well she’s released the video and being the vain guy that I am, I had to make it the highlight of your day! Watch it here.

Nanjira is a ‘jane’ of many trades. She’s an acturial scientist/new media strategist/consultant. Her resume would read something like this ‘worked with Sandstorm Kenya, Sprint Interactive, Deviate Kenya, UN-Habitat, UNEP etc’ Campaigns involved in include Mzalendo: Eye on Kenyan Parliament, Kenya Feb 28, Africans Act 4 Africa etc…” Who said musicians aren’t Einstein-esque?

As a singer/songwriter, she has worked with the creme de la creme of the Music business. They include Eric Wainaina, Ma3, Sarah Mitaru, Atemi Oyungu, Juliani, DNA, Tusker All Stars among others. She even spread her tentacles across globally and sang with Lady Jay Dee(TZ), Omar Lye-Fook(UK), Javen Campbell(USA). Indomitable.

The video is simple but that in no way dilutes its awesomess. It features media great Maqbuli, actor and radio personality, a cast of two coz hey, three is a crowd!  Below is the unplugged video that I was talking about, awe inspiring. Read a candid interview with her here.
