June Gachui Music Career
June grew up in a home that appreciated music, her exposure to different styles, a large cross-section of artists from Europe, the US and Africa was enhanced when her family had the privilege of living overseas during June’s formative years. As a result June is a fluent speaker of French.
June’s musical style has been anything but static over the years; she began performing at school and at church which is where her talent was first spotted and lovingly nurtured by her parents. Since then, June has ably performed classical Soprano and Alto pieces, sung in choirs, later on developed a love of old school Jazz standards from the 1930’s and 40’s (Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee and of course Frankie “Blue Eyes” Sinatra). This style gave June a chance to experiment and truly interpret the songs in her own way it was during this time that she grew musically, her voice matured and started developing notoriety among the live music scene across Kenya. Over the years, June has developed a new genre which she refers to as “NyummyMusic” the kind that touches your soul and sends a warm sensation of nyumminess down to your feet and right back up!!
With over a decade of experience performing live, June has been blessed to grace stages in the US, Australia, UK, France, Uganda and all over Kenya and according to her, she is just getting started so
