LORD JUMAH BIOGRAPHY
Lord Jumah
is a fast-rising Kenyan Bongo Flavour artiste based in Mombasa, Kenya. He is a
good composer, songwriter, singer, entertainer, performer and dancer.
He was born on 10th December 1993 in Nangina Mission Hospital, Samia
District, Busia County, Western Kenya. He is the fifth borne in their family.
He has three brothers and six lovely sisters. His real names are Jumah J. Andrew. Nobody actually knows
the meaning of the “J” apart from his beloved mother.
Lord Jumah
grew up in different parts of East Africa; notably Busia, Nairobi and Mombasa
in Kenya. He also lived a fraction of his childhood years in Tororo, Mbarara
and Kampala Uganda. It is believed it is from Mombasa and Kampala he gained
interest in Music.
EDUCATION BACKGROUND
Lord Jumah
joined Moody Awori Primary School in Samia District in 1998 for his Pre-Primary
studies. He was promoted to class one in the same school in the year 2001. He
sat for his final primary school exams in 2008.
In 2009, he
joined Friends’ School Kamusinga in Bungoma County, Western Kenya for his high
school studies. He left the school in 2012 having sat for Kenya Certificate of
Secondary Exams.
He joined a
music school in Mombasa Kenya in early 2013 where he learnt playing various
music instruments such as the guitar, saxophone, keyboard, flute among others.
He also obtained a certificate in Computer Studies from the same school towards
the end of July 2013.
He is
currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Journalism & Mass Communication in
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT
Lord Jumah
began singing in church choirs at a tender age of nine. His interest to pursue
music professionally had an upsurge while in high school where he composed a
record of six hundred poems in English, Kiswahili and the Samia dialect.
He joined
the commercial music industry in 2013. His style of music is purely Bongo
Flavour. This has seen him earn praises for the mastery of the Swahili
language. Lord Jumah confesses that he is in love with a Swahili dialect called
Kimtang’ata. Most of his fans are
ladies which earned him the title Asali
Ya Mabinti.
Lord Jumah
has three hits already to his name. Sepetu
is his first hit. It is purely a love song in which he confesses his love to Miss Tanzania 2006, Wema Sepetu. Music
tarcituns describe the lyrics in this song as simply pin point, or rather spot
on. You better have this hit on your playlist despite the fact that it is a
dedication to Wema Abraham Sepetu.
His second song goes by the name Tamani Tamani. This is a Bongo Flavour
song with a very strong message with hammer-like lyrics. He mentions Zari and Hazel in this one. No one actually knows who the two are and what
they mean to him. He tells his spouse to ignore backbiters who are after seeing
their affair disintegrate. He is angered by those that do not agree to the fact
that his fiancée is slightly older than him and they go about making it a talk
of the town. He calls them Mashoga.
Here is a section of the lyrics:
…. Hello…..Hello Zari….kwanza simu nimenunuaaa……
Hello… Hello Hazel….hao mashoga
wanazinguaaa?....
Nahisi wanachonga jingi baya…..
Toka kwa mashoga na wambeya….
Tena yanasemwa mengi, mengi, mengi….
Yalojaa na ubaya…..
Mara wanizidi miaka yaani……
Kwako ni mashaka na utani……
Yaani tu maneno mengi, mengi, mengi,
mengi…..
Aaaaaah wabayaaaa…….
Lord
Jumah’s third song is called E-sir.
Here he pays tribute to the late Issa
Mmari. He admits that the Kenyan music industry was deprived of its most
promising talent. With E-Sir’s demise the industry has looked a bit shaky. He
applauds E-Sir’s song Boomba Train
which he fell in love with while still very young. Unfortunately Mr. Mmari
never lived long to inspire him. But he swore to fill his boots. Here is the
chorus of this hit that will leave you with mixed feelings; sweet but
emotional. R.I.P Issa Mmari. Lord
Jumah celebrates you.
Kenya
inatamani, ungeishi kisana dunia….dunia!!
Uone jinsi
gani, mziki unavyoumia….umia!!
Utaaamu…Utamu
wa Boomba Trainy ni kuimbwa nawe….
Utaaamu….Sa’mbona
mapema E-Sir, kaka nena tuelewe…
Aaaaah
E-Siiiiiir
Oooooh Mmaaari x 4

music world better get ready for this music sensation. Issah Mmari is back. Not the Tupac style though.
