Browsing: Kibaki

Kibaki commenced his musical journey in 2002, transitioning from a promising football career.

“Music has always been my passion, but initially, I was deeply involved in football, playing with Constant Spring United. In 2002, I made the life-changing decision to prioritize music as my sole profession,” he shared.

Caught between his dual affections, Kibaki recounted moments during football matches when inspiration struck, prompting him to dash off the field towards his pen and paper. Immersing himself in the sounds of veterans like Bounty Killer and Beenie Man, Kibaki honed his craft, embarking on his musical venture by frequenting various studios in Kingston.

In 2003, a significant breakthrough arrived when Kibaki collaborated with the Sly and Robbie-led Taxi Gang, contributing to the song “Dem Well” on the Raw Food rhythm. Reflecting on that moment, he stated, “Since then, I’ve never looked back, and people have consistently encouraged me to do more.

“While I’ve been associated with DASECA since 1999, my active collaboration with them started about a year and a half ago. They were impressed when they heard me and promised to collaborate, a promise that was fulfilled,” he explained.

While Kibaki gradually gained recognition locally, he had already toured the world alongside producer and singjay Serani, showcasing his talent in the Caribbean, United States, England, and other locations.

Describing himself as a singjay, Kibaki revealed that he initially focused on deejaying before meeting Serani, who encouraged him to showcase his singing voice. As a versatile artist, Kibaki prepared for the future, although he expresses regret that his late brother is not alive to witness his success.
