About Us

Sicilian by birth, African by choice. In 2005 I left Italy for Africa, and in 2007 I made Kenya my home, a magical, beautiful place that has never stopped amazing me. I have spent my whole life in tourism, working as a tour leader, tour consultant and a marketer.

As a child, I always dreamed of playing the guitar. At school, they handed me a recorder instead. In 2005 I finally got a guitar, but I gave up, convinced I simply didn’t have enough fingers. Then in 2019, I discovered the ukulele and fell in love.

I started improvising little songs about the events of my day: the internet not working, the dogs barking at night. Music made even the small, annoying things feel lighter.

One day, watching wildlife in front of my Nairobi home, i thought: what if I put wildlife and music together? Two things I love. That was the spark.

In 2021, a great loss marked my life. Music and the ukulele community carried me through it and gave me the strength to begin building the dream. Because we have no time. If not now, then when?

With the encouragement and help of Boris of Spicy Uke, the first ukulele was born in Kenya in 2022.

Today, we transform feelings into music. We have fun, we bring music to every corner, and we donate ukuleles to children in Kenya, so more people can discover the joy of making music. Do you need to be a musician? Not at all. You just need your adventurous and fun spirit.
