Artist Spotlight: Keemlyf, rising star who is causing shockwaves in the industry

Every once in a while I come across some talented Kenyan artist and I feel the need to tell you, our readers, about them so that when their careers finally blow up you can also say you were there from the very beginning.

Today, we’ll focus on Nelson Omambia Asaeli, popularly known as Keemlyf. He is one lad who is going places and believe you me it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a household name.

The 21-year-old singer has been into music from the tender age of 10, this makes me think what I was doing with my life at that age. He grew up listening to the likes of P-Square, Redsan, Trey Songz and in a way that has shaped his sound today.

When he joined high school, his love for music grew so much so that he composed his first song dubbed Dunia in Form 2. The song became popular and this gave motivated him to pursue his dream of becoming a musician.

After clearing high school, Keemlyf released his first official song titled Banana. The song did well and earned him recognition as an upcoming Afro pop singer. He made us all realize that he was here to stay.

About a fortnight ago, Keemlyf dropped a new single dubbed My Baibe and it has been getting a lot of love from his fans. The song which was produced by Rashy Beats at Alka Productions, is a clear indication that this guy didn’t come to play. Keep an eye out for him!

Watch My Baibe below and tell us what you think.
