that’s only fitting
for a charismatic
artist whose East African name
means Adventurous traveler.
Ky-Mani has transformed his trails
and triumph into words, which speak
o f his depth, and sounds, which
cling to the heart and soul. With a
vibrant consciousness approach to
his craft, Ky-Mani was bom to create
music.
He embarks on a journey o f the

spirit, * the
senses and the heart. On
his long a w aited and m uch
anticipated Gee Street/V2/Shang
Records debut, the Journey, Ky-
Mani embraces various sounds
including hip-hop, country and
rhythm and blues. The richness of
his self-penned songs is like a
rhythmic road map leading towards
the most lovable destination - the
heart.
