Gabiro Mtu Necessary Bio

Gabiro has established himself as one of the true “positive leaders and motivational musicians” of Kenya.  His incredible upbeat attitude and positive energy combine to make him one of the most sought after performers in the business today.

He is steadily building a reputation for Kisumu’s best lyricist, and but also shares his personal struggles through his art. From working as a matatu tout to battling drug abuse, Gabiro’s ability to tell stories separates him from rap music ‘status quo’.

“Hip-hop inspired me to persevere. Persevere and self-educate myself. When I was going through it, the thing that held me down was an old computer at my uncle’s place that I stored thousands of downloaded beats. That’s why I’m so loyal to the cause and loyal to the culture. I feel like I owe it to Hip-hop to do the best I can” – Gabiro

To date Gabiro has performed and toured along several renowned artists including SautiSol during “Made In Kisumu”, as well as shows like “2jinyce Concert” which holds sentimental value to Gabiro being that he is a Kisumu City native.

His show that meant a lot was when he opened for Diamond Platnumz in 2016.
