In the wake of his father’s untimely death, the then 11-year-old Daniel Simiyu made peace with his estranged mother. His music success is moving him towards his dream; saving his mother from poverty and affording the family a better life. He would take to the streets and sing before crowds in Kitale in-between school, all this without his mother’s knowledge. On a good day, he would make up to Sh5,000 from well-wishers and took the cash to his mother to supplement their domestic needs. The last has become a big Gengetone hit, with music channels like Trace Music playing it on rotation.
