When you here ‘Wondering’ David, what comes to your mind? David Junior Odera is his official name. He is a Kenyan gospel artist. What you didn’t know is that this guy was natured by Bahati. Did I say Bahati? Ooh! yes I did.

His is a journey that has come from far, low self-esteem, struggling to rise musically and here comes a saviour in the name of Bahati. In an interview with Buzz Magazine, he says that when he was venting to Bahati, he told him that he is a product of God’s wonders.

People come from far and David is not an exception. He started practicing his music career long ago. Him and his friends formed a band that always performed in Our Spirit of Faith Pentecostal church in Baba Dogo and in other small gigs.

He started pursuing his music career immediately after high school. Well, this was at quit a young age.
