Akello Grace Okello
Musician with Nairobi Ensemble
- 🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
- Nairobi Ensemble
- Since 1986
- English
I've played jazz since 1986, mostly in pubs, churches, weddings and anywhere else that would have me. These days I also teach.
I teach about 12 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I'm always reading two books at once.
I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
More about Akello
I write my first song when I was 13. It was terrible and I still love it.

What gifts mean to Akello: Any gift will help me keep teaching kids who can't afford lessons.
