In the quiet outskirts of Kericho Town, tucked inside Nyagacho Estate, three young artists are using music and poetry to voice the frustrations, dreams and struggles of a generation.
Meet Clinton Kiplang'at alias Dabb Ace the Producer, Fredrick Eter alias Preacher Sancho the rapper, and Dennis Kombo alias Denkuz the poet/ They may not be widely known, but in their neighborhood and among growing online audiences, their art is beginning to strike a powerful chord.
They are not living in luxury or enjoying major record deals but instead, they juggle their passion for music with hustles like selling shoes and secondhand clothes to make ends meet but it is through art, they say, that they find peace, purpose and a platform to speak out.
Speaking to KNA, the trio said they use their creativity to educate and advocate for social change among the youth, a journey they began in 2015 when they came together to form a group called Big Minds but at the time, none of them had access to a studio, and they relied on a phone recording app, borrowed headphones and improvised spaces in their bedrooms to produce songs.
