Basing his body of work – production and rapping – on the fact that music blesses people who listens to it and shares good energy representing different moods and mindset, he believes that music is the world’s biggest asset that can be used to transfer energy to many places in the world.
Mista Ree‘s pen game when it comes to songwriting is very unique and very relatable hence the crown undisputed king of mistari. His writing is propelled by the poetry side of music and his mother being a poem writer played, and will forever play a very big role in his journey as a songwriter and a rapper. Mista Ree‘s early exposure to music – dating way back in his primary school days – got him listening to the hip hop greats 50 cents, Eminem, Ukoo Flani and many more.
Joining the Nairobi School for his secondary education was the biggest blessing and the biggest stepping stone for Mista Ree in his quest of becoming the biggest rapper. Two weeks into his new secondary school life, he overcame all odds and went for an audition to perform in an upcoming journalism club. During his turn, Mista Ree turned a simple audition to a performance attracting the attention of students and judges, making him the school’s rap star.
Under the guidance of Mr. Moses Watatua – the then music teacher at the Nairobi school – Mista Ree developed further interest in music making him switch from technical class – art and design – to music. During music lessons, Mista Ree was able to understand the structure of music well and in return he took advantage of the advanced programs and facilities at the school to learn music production. In his four years stay at the Nairobi School, music was Mista Ree ‘s extra curriculum activity and he would continue rapping during talent shows and other music related activities in and out of school.
During his different performances in school, Mista Ree became a rap superstar in school and in his stardom is where he met Blu Lace 16 and Mike MG whom were also music enthusiast and together they started hanging out, writing music and performing together under the name Chozen Gang. Words spreads faster and it wasn’t long before B3nnar joined them as a promoter and the business manager, Spree and Yang AP also joined them as part of the entourage.
