Биография

Major Nemeye Khadija alias ‘Mejja’ or ‘Okwonkwo’ was born on 23rd March in Majengo slums in Nyeri county, Kenya. His first taste of stardom came when Celtel was holding a talent search all over Kenya. The company moved all over Kenya, province by province, looking for the top three contestants. Mejja happened to be among the top 3 contestants in his region. He, later on, became the first runners up nationally, winning cash. He, later on, came to Nairobi in 2007 and met Clemo of Calif Records, who helped mentor him music-wise. Mejja got signed to Calif Records by Producer Clemo. Back in the day, Mejja joined a music group known as the ‘Ghetto clan’. He used to sing with his brother Wambugu. He could barely write his songs during this time, so he used to rely on borrowed content. He teamed up with Kidkora and Madtraxx to form a celebrated trio in the Kenyan music industry known as the Kansoul. Together, they have dropped hit songs such as Nyongwa and Dabo tap. One of Mejja’s breakthrough songs was ‘Jana kuliendaje’, which he released in 2008. The song even won him an award at Kenya’s Chaguo la teeniz.
