Early Life

Policeman and singer Samuel Muchoki Ndirangu was born in 1990 in Subukia, Nakuru County. He grew up as an orphan. He lost his father at the age of three years and later his mother after joining form one. Soon after his father’s death, everything went south; his father’s brothers evicted them from their home from which they settled in Nyandarua County. Life for him wasn’t easy going through secondary school with the loss of his mother but he became strong and finished form four. It is during this period while in high school that he found his first love (Edith Muchoki) who is currently his wife to date. After his high school, he left for Nairobi and joined his elder brother (a drummer in Kamande wa Kio’s music band) as a backup artist for the legendary Kikuyu artist

According to the book A Story of Faith, Hope, and Love by José N. Harris he says, 

“Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take can sometimes be the most painful…’’

At this point in his life, he was unsure of what to pursue or do to be successful. He decided to pursue a Diploma in Business and Information Technology in Kenya Polytechnic. However, life got tough as he lost his job at Kamande wa Kio’s band since he was unavailable most of the time. He later made a decision that “East or west home is the best.” While in the village he found a job on a flower farm and also applied to the Kenya Administration Police to become a police officer. Luckily, he was selected and recruited as a police officer and posted to Daadab and it was from this moment that he established his music career.

According to the book Fall of Kings by David Gemmell he says,

“Trust your instincts, and make judgments on what your heart tells you. The heart will not betray you.”
