IM LOVING WENDY KIMANI TODAY

The Neosoul- influenced vocalist, born Wendy Kimani in 1986, developed her talent through singing along with musicians on radio and TV until her sisters discovered it but then supported her family. They listened to a lot of music especially because her siblings were all teenagers at the time and she was 5 or so.
Growing up in Nairobi, The singer not paying attention to the singing talent, was very adventurous and tried a whole lot of niches like drawing, acting in plays in school and even modeling before she finally was pushed back to her main calling, music, by the best friend who pushed her into singing for her all her favorite jams during breaks.. But at age 17, Wendy joined French class and part of her assignments was to translate Celine Dion’s French songs.
While doing this, she ended up loving her music and learnt most of the songs on the CD. She spent endless hours isolated in a classroom listening to the CD learning the different tricks that can be done with her type of voice.
At her end of year prize giving day at likii hill international school, she decided for the first time to sing for an audience and she performed one of the Celine Dion’s songs she had learnt while in class.
Na huyu ndo WENDY KIMANI
