He collaborated with the late E-Sir on ‘boomba train’ and with Amani on ‘Ninanoki’, a song that Nameless himself says catapulted him to unprecedented heights.
Nameless released his first album ‘On Fire’ in 2004. It carries ten tracks including ‘Ninanoki’, ‘boomba train’, ‘why lie’, ‘maisha’, & ‘juju’. Due to his popularity, Nameless was featured in the song ‘Moto ya Kuotea Mbali’.
The seasoned musician started a cloth line with his wife Wahu named N-Zone.
Most musicians and celebrities have a trademark style. Whether that’s a piercing, clothing, or hairstyle, people identify them with something specific.
When durags became fashionable, Kenyans picked up the trend and dropped it after it faded. But not Nameless. You hardly see him without a hat and his glasses.
But in 2017, Nameless took it upon himself and shared a picture without a hat. Honestly, he doesn’t look any different.
One noticeable quality that got people talking, and frankly, he referenced it in his post, was his forehead.
The running joke is that he’s got a big one as his hairline is slightly withdrawn from his forehead thus the cap.

Nameless first saw Wahu on television and later met her at the University of Nairobi where both studied. He then chanced upon her after an event he performed at.
Nameless was saddened by his performance when Wahu approached him to congratulate him on his show. This sparked Nameless’ interest and he pursued her successfully.
