For quite a long time Kikuyu-based singer Samidoh has been on top of Kikuyu music arena. The famous mugithi singer has been making headlines, with his name featuring on big platforms.
Samidoh had passion for music at a young age. While in Highschool, he served as C.U worship leader.
Immediately after completing his secondary school studies, Samidoh did not waste any chances. He traveled to the Nairobi City, where he joined Kamande Wa Kioi band. At the time, his older brother was a drummer in the band.
He stayed in the band only for two years. He was determined to go out of his way and become an artist.
His career as a music artist began in 2018 when he recorded ‘ndiri mutwe mwega‘ ( My head ain’t straight). The song was followed by other hits that swept the Mugithi industry by storm.
