Kambua was born and raised in Nairobi Kenya. Her gift of music was evident from a very tender age, and her father nicknamed her, Kasuni (Kamba for bird). He said she was his song bird. True to this, Kambua’s love for music grew into a strong passion in her teenage years. Her father a guitar player, and her mother a worship leader/Evangelist, were a great influence on her.In 2002 she was asked to do a solo at Parklands Baptist Church. Following this, everything else around her, spiraled into action. She was then invited to join one of the Praise bands in Parklands Baptist- Eneza. With Eneza she served for close to four years, and took part in 'He Lives', a music project by Parklands Baptist church to raise funds for the Solomon Project.Kambua first graced the Kenya Music scene in 2004 with her song Amani (peace). Produced by Jonah Uzele and Co-written by Mbuvi and Kaberere (Jogg C). This song scooped the title for 'Best Solo Vocalist' in a competition that was sponsored by an Italian Government organization, and run by Radio Waumini.In the Summer of 2004 she sung and served in a youth Organization- Passport Incorporated, based in Birmingham, Alabama.Between 2003 and 2004, Kambua often stepped in and worked as a Back Ground Vocalist for various artists including, Denise Gordon, Mbuvi, Bahati, and Kavutha (4 winds), therefore having the priviledge of working with top-notch producers such as, Giddy(Kassanga), Jonah Uzele(fomerly of Johari), Rkay(Shammah Boy), Lucas(Ogopa Deejays), and Chris Adwar(Phat stix).In 2005, Kambua spread her wings into the theater industry and worked as an actress for Heartstrings Ensemble, featuring in shows such as 'Funny Business and 'Something’s Burning'.This also led to opportunities for her in the advertisement industry. Through Ogopa Deejays, she began to do jingles for commercials, such as 'Sunlight' and 'Delmonte'.Nishikilie (hold on to me) - the 9 track gospel album, was completed in November 2005. This is a fusion of different genres of music that reflect the artists’ discovery of herself.In December 2005, she left Kenya for Canada, to pursue her Bachelor of Arts in Music at Ambrose University, her major being Classical Voice.Kambua continues to perform in North America, and has sung with various worship bands. She was recently a member of the Legacy Youth Conference band, one of the biggest youth events in Calgary, Alberta.She is currently enrolled in a Performance Program at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.With lots in store that will reflect the growth of this young artist, “The sky is not the limitâ€, she says. “The are no limits to what you can do when you are set freeâ€!
