Bio
Born in Memphis, TN, USA, Kimani lived his early years in various parts of the southern U.S. before settling in Miami, FL. While learning to play musical instruments (piano, bass, saxophone), he also indulged in another passion: buying vinyl records. After attending Howard University in Washington, DC., he put down roots in DC and, along the way, befriended and mingled with a number of the Washington, DC/Baltimore, MD area's talented house and downtempo artists/DJs. 12 inch record releases soon followed. Well received Kimani records include 12 inch EPs on Strictly Rhythm, i! Recordings, Groove On, K2 Recordings, Kumba Records, and Soul Boy Records. A full length CD, Afro Kozmik Soul, was released in 1999 on Step Ahead Records while the full length Sunrise Moonrise - The Groove Sessions was released in 2005 on Sunrisemoon Recordings. Afro Kozmik Soul saw the licensing of one of its songs (Kozmik Listening 101) for The Spirit of the Street -The Very Best of Inner City Cool Part II compilation CD on London's JazzFM label. Sunrise Moorise -The Groove Sessions has seen licensing usage in both radio and television (the Oprah show being one example). Additional Kimani work includes his downtempo/r&b production of Whenever on Jody Watley's Midnight Lounge album (joining the company of King Britt, Masters at Work, Ron Trent, and Dave Warrin.) His work with Jody Watley also includes a house dub version of Whenever that was released in 12 inch format on the Peace Bisquit label.
Kimani presently resides in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
