Kajairo (real name Peter Kaimenyi) is known for his shenanigan in form of music and will be greatly by missed by his fans. Announcing the news, Kajairo revealed that he had fun as a radio host and is now moving ‘to pursue a different challenge in his career and life.”
Career
Kajairo started off on the iconic TV show, Redyukulass, doing humorous remixes to famous songs. He later went to start his TV show, which received mixed reviews.
Peter Kaimenyi, who plays Kajairo, came across as a soft-spoken and thoughtful young man who was dressed casually in gray slacks and matching top when we met.He bears no resemblance at all to his enigmatic alter ego.In fact, although Peter is a graduate of Kenyatta University who only did a short stint in the classroom a few years ago, insists, “This is Peter Kaimenyi with the degree not Kajairo, who has very little basic education and is just an easy going jamaa of mtaani”.
Peter says, “I like to keep my own life completely separate from Kajairo’s.
Kaimenyi is also set to take his act a notch higher and says, “Kajairo is not just a performing artist, but also a recording artist.He is currently working on his next project, which is an album in which he will sing some original songs but true to his character, will throw in a corrupted few.”
He’s definitely come a long way in perfecting his art, having started early at Bidii Primary School in Nairobi and later Machakos High School, where he became chairman of the drama club.
At university he joined a group known as the Mystical Ghetto Corez.He later joined Redykyulass in some of their acts.
He first shot to fame when he took part in the comedy programme In Truu Kalass.He has always wanted to be a serious musician but did not quite know how to get into this competitive market because to enter, you have to have your own unique style.

He says that he always wanted to form an act combining his musical talent with comedy.Therefore, after doing a short teaching stint he worked briefly with Phoenix Theatre before joining a local television station as a scriptwriter.This is were he started to experiment with what would become his niche in the market -taking songs and turning the lyrics upside down to come up with a corrupted version.
