Stephen Mutua Kasolo (born January 26, 1994) is a Kenyan gospel recording artiste, songwriter and dancer. He is one of the biggest gospel stars in Eastern Kenya recording in kamba language and his name is steadily becoming a household name in all parts of the country (Kenya).
His first Album dubbed Ndikasyoka thinani won Mwafaka awards in 2012 and in 2014 his single hit kitole from the second Album won the Eastern song of the year in Groove awards. The kitole Album was able to bless a great number of people all over the country and that is why the hitmaker is making a good impact in Kenyan Gospel Industry.
Stephen Mutua Kasolo was born on January 26, 1994 in Nzukini, Kitui County to Jennifer Makelete Kasolo and Kasolo Matheka.
Music has always been Kasolo’s passion since childhood. His dreams were always of becoming a big star in the music industry and his commitments in church and prayers helped him achieve that.
During his primary school years at Nzukini primary school he would dance and sing for his fellow students. He also started composing his own songs during his primary school years and even today he refers to those songs when creating albums. In 2008, he joined Katulani high school in Kitui and during this time his music career had started to establish itself. He would sing in Christian congregations, big shows and his talent could be clearly seen. In 2010 and 2011, he won the chanting piece in the Kenya Schools Music Festivals which brought together students from all parts of the country.
It was so painful during Kasolo’s primary school education after he lost his both parents and his sister. His brother also developed some mental problems and Kasolo was thereby left alone to struggle with his life. He faced challenges in his young life but because of prayers and his commitments to God, he was able to study and finish education successfully. In his first Album he released a Swahili song titled Yamekuwa Machungu where he narrates the challenges he had gone through and cries to God to give him strength to stay strong.
After secondary school education Kasolo had good grades but because he did not have enough funds for higher learning, he decided to put more effort in his music career. His music was a blessing to one family of Mr. and Mrs. Shem Kasu Nyamai who adopted and helped him to start Journalism education in Multimedia University of Kenya in 2015. He is currently pursuing Journalism in MMU.
Ndikasyoka thinani album
This was the Album that introduced Kasolo to the music scene. In this album he concentrated more on narrating about his past life and asking God to open for him a bright future. The songs in this album were Ndikasyoka thinani, Yamekuwa Machungu, maundu ma kivinduni, maundu mena vinya, nienda nguthaithe, Ngai wi munene and Ekai ndavanie.
Kitole album
Two years later in 2013, Kasolo released this second album. The album’s top single Kitole was an instant hit and made it to number one song in eastern Kenya. This song was nominated to Mwafaka and groove awards and in 2014 it won the best eastern song of the year in groove awards. He attained Kenya’s complete attention when he released the kitole album. Songs in this album were Kitole, kula kwonthe, Ve musyi wonekaa, maundu ngwona, nuutungiwa and unipendavyo.
Ngai niwukilasya album
This is the latest album whose official launch took place on 7th February 2016. Kasolo is now highly celebrated and this new album was good enough to renew the acceptance of his God given work to his fans.
