Being the eldest in a family of four brothers, Saint is an uprising reggae artist growing and living in the slums of Githurai.Greatly inspired by the neighborhood and the reality in the music, Saint has known nothing but a life of hardship in a ghetto where people live from hand to mouth and no one is assured of their tomorrow. Born on 27th July 1984, Saint found music irresistible as he used to sneak into the dance hall where his father was then a dj playing with “Commando Sounds” in the 80’s.The love and passion for the same increased as my father had a big collection of African music and a few reggae albums by Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy. It wasn’t easy and I had to wait until I joined High School where I became a member of the school choir and took part in several music festivals in 2001, 2002 and 2003.It was through the wonderful experience that I decided to write my own music but since I could not raise the studio fee in school, I had to wait and clear my High School education first. In Aug 2004, I pioneered the foundation of a seven member group known as “Inert” with the following members; G, Cecile, Ephie, Sista Carol, Terry Anne and Saint Crooner {Me}, but that was short lived and did not yield much. We tried to record “Thank You Lord” a single I had written, in vain as members were not always available when needed.
