MULIKA ENTERTAINMENT launched a life testimony segment a few days ago dubbed testimony Wednesday that is basically made to tell someone’s life testimony. We believe in one thing that through this, one may be inspired and challenged to continue doing what they love most. In this segment, we get a born again person who takes us through their journey of life and what they have been up to as far life or ministry are concerned. We tell the testimony as we have received from the owner.

Now for this week’s Testimony Wednesday, we feature a gospel artiste going by the name P-Spicq who takes us though his life testimony from when he was born in Nairobi some years back, his education life, his life as a kiambiu hustler, His journey as a musician and now what God has done for him.

BACKGROUND

I was born in Nairobi’s Mater Hospital on the 16th of February 1986 being the first born in a family of 7 siblings, five boys and two girls. I joined Dr Livingstone Primary School in 1993 and studied from class 1 to 7 and was later transferred to St John Boarding primary School in Maua, Meru in 2000 where I repeated class 7 and later completed my KCPE in 2001.

I got a calling letter to Join Kathiani Boys High School in Machakos County in 2002.

There I met a lot of friends and very few enemies, friends who inspired me musically and academically and enemies who hated me based on my ethnic background. In 2003 third term the school staffroom was set on fire before our third term exams which led to indefinite closure of the school. In 2004 March I was again transferred to MALIERA Boys Secondary School in Yala, Gem Constituency. At this time Music was very much in my head, and tried as much as possible to balance my education and my talent. I did my KCSE exams in the year 2006. I joined the Nairobi Aviation College in 2011 to study a Diploma in Computerized Clearing and Forwarding as a part time student but in the mid 2012 I Dropped due to lack of fees.

For over one year I earned a salary of 3000 shillings monthly which was not enough to sustain a man for a month. At that time I was living with my two brothers in a one roomed “Mabati” house in Kiambiu. Life was unbearable and I could only afford one meal a day, and could sometimes ‘doea’ at my mum’s place when am so broke. I had one pair of trousers and two t-shirts and ‘AKALA’ shoes. Over the years I trusted God for success in my life and it comes with his plans. Over the years, I was able to manage all challenges that came forth. I got married in 2011 and I have a 4 months son. Right now am balancing my work, Family and Music. Very soon before the end of this year, I will be starting school again, God willing.

THE MUSICAL JOURNEY:

My musical life begun way back in class seven, while in Dr. Livingstone Primary School. I could use any available thing like basins, sufurias, the table and many more to make sounds and sing along when my parents were not at home. At that point I didn’t know how to write songs so I could sing it the way it would come. While in Meru, I started writing my own songs and poems and would later present them during entertainment nights in the school and school functions. In form one in Kathiani Boys High School, that’s when I started realizing my talent to the fullest as the school administration dedicated some days for the realization of talents. I joined the C.U and would sometimes be given the chance to sing during church services.

It’s in that same school where I sat in the same class with Bizi B (Producer), Job Vidzo (Cabassa Group), Simbo Owade, Victor Vicky Pondis (Producer), Mzee Mzima and many other artists. The school band played a major role in molding our music careers. Bizi B was my desk mate and would help me in any area musically. And that gave me more courage to write my own songs and sing in large crowds. After the fire incident we parted ways with Bizi B and others as I would come to learn that many of us were transferred to different schools.

In my new school, things were a little different, music talents were not taken seriously by the administration and the school board. A lot of music talents were being wasted but kept on tight to mine. A year later a Peer Advocate for Life Skills “PALS Club” was formed, and with my talent I joined and composed songs to teach other on Life matters like Aids Awareness and Abstinence from early sex. I was then appointed the Club Chairman which I chaired till form four. A lot changed in the school with time and many were motivated with my songs including teachers and other board members.

After high school I met Bizi B in town (NAIROBI) and we exchanged contacts, later on we met and recorded my first ever song in his East Africa Records back then. At that time I was staying in Eastleigh, and would later on meet other aspiring artists and write songs.

I met a Group called G-Brothers comprising of Benachi, Mc LS and The late Antole and a dancehall artist called Raj Deqan with whom we wrote a couple of songs but never recorded any. I can say that my musical journey has been moving on gradually and all is because of the plans and the Grace of God who is my biggest planner and motivator. I have done a couple of songs both solo and as collabos. I recently did a collabo with my brother De-Coin and some friends I have been working with and plans for a video are underway and I’m also working on a track with MC LS. A Lot of projects are planned for 2015 and all that will be done as per the plans of God.
