SHOCKING: You Won’t Believe This Photo of Wyre We Just Found!

In a developing series where we seek to show you (with photographic evidence) how far Kenyan artistes have come, we bring to you this Bashment brother turned Love Child, Wyre back in the day when he was still shaping his career in the industry.

Wyre began his musical career around October 2000 with the formation of Necessary Noise, which also consisted of reknowned MC and rapper/singer Nazizi Hirji and sensation Bamzigi. After that, Bamzigi left and both Wyre and Nazizi teamed up with Uganda’s Bebe Cool to form the East African Bashment Crew in 2005.

The groups’ most recent recognition was the 2008 MAMA award for best group, though the three have since then concentrated more or less on their own individual careers.

Big Ted

Wyre was a producer under Ted Josiah’s Blu Zebra Studios but left to concentrate on setting up his own LoveChild Records.
