I play traditional drumming and violin. I started in 2001 with a secondhand instrument and a lot of stubbornness.
I teach about 9 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I garden badly but happily.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Upendo
I write my first song when I was 18. It was terrible and I still love it.
