Levi Cheruo Cheptora
I loooooooooove any sort of organized noise, and better still if it counts as music. It is truly unimaginable the extend of influence storytelling can have on peoples lives.
I have an immeasurable passion for story-telling, specifically through Music. It is even much more fulfilling when such compelling stories are shared through music. Stories about ordinary men and women struggling with their love-hate-lives; stories about injustices; stories about political, and economic upheavals, corruption, and many a social ill bedevilling our society.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Having published a poetry anthology with CreateSpace Publishers in 2016, deep down, I knew it was just a matter of time before I resurrect my long-dead desire to sing. I had already amassed at least 50 personal compositions and with no idea where to begin it. For years, I have nursed this seemingly invincible shed of self-doubt...it is time I share my music; it is time I sing my heart out; it is time you listen to my story!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Looking forward to creating memories with my ever-growing audience...
Your musical influences
I am a music junkie by every sense of the word; every type of music has influenced me in one way or the other. However, growing up listening to Swahili Traditional Songs such as Embe Dodo, Itawezekanage, etc. by the THEME MUSHROOMS did played a key influence in my music career.
What equipment do you use?
I play the piano and currently learning the Violin alongside the Guitar.
