  • Iddiy Singer is a great artist hailing from the streets of Magongo in Mombasa west.He made ends meet through composing songs,making beats for different artists and using his earnings to finance his musical career.His first record, ‘Nitasonga’which was released in 2007 recorded at West Coast records was well received.An obvious underground hit it was.




    The following year,he was recognised for his work and was approached by different artists from various places,expressing their interests  to work with him. He was employed at Johari Records as a producer and joined Vitukuu Flani the same year; a group of five hip hop artists and did an album ‘MasomoyaMsingi’,recorded at Blessed records in Mombasa. Their work got massive recognition at the coast.







    In 2011, He made a firm decision to focus more on his  projects, and that’s when He hooked up with Flesh Skani and came up with ‘sikupendi’. He produced the song and recorded at Ufuoni records. A year later he was discovered by Tedd Josiah, one of Kenya's music industry pioneers.He did a single 'Usijali' which narrated his story as he navigated the music arena.




    He was recognised across the country and some parts of East Africa for this.
    By the end of 2014, he was no longer working with Tedd Josiah due to some unavoidable agreement issues on their deal.He was approached by an entertainment company called HourGlass254 which he has been working with in his new projects with Landan Balla. The list includes :


    -Najidai
    -The Ones
    -Ni Wewe
    -Shikide

    All available on Youtube

    Was also featured on Xtatics 'Let Me Xplain' mixtape in the 'Let me xplain' song

    In all this hes also working with Producer Tk2 in his home town Mombasa, they released a song titled 'Niende' with Kigoto Mmbonde recently which has had a good reception.

    He's also working on an album with Hourglass254 thats going to be released later this year.
