    David Kamoni Mathenge

David Mathenge, a Kenyan musician is known as Nameless in musical circles. "There are two kinds of people in the world, those who have got names and those who are nameless." He does genge music which can also be classified as hip hop. He is a university graduate and architect. He is married to long-time sweetheart, Wahu, who is also a singer in Kenya with whom he has one child born in 2006.

He became famous in 1999 after winning the star-search contest on Kenya's urban music station 98.4 Capital FM, for his song "Megarider." The song talked about a poor young man trying to seduce a woman but only has enough money for Kenya Bus tickets, and not the rich lifestyle she desires. The single received a lot of airplay afterward. He then released the Ninanoki single in 2001 with Amani as well as Boomba train with E-Sir. Ninanoki remained number on Kenyan charts for over 3 months!

His hit single Sinzia was one of the most popular African songs in 2006 which also earned him a nomination for best MTV African artiste.

Some of his songs include Deadley, Mambo sina, Najidai, On fire, Mannerless, Majitu, etc

I really like Nameless and his music. I saw him perform once and he was pretty good in concert as crazy fans were singing his songs all over. He was there with Mr. Lenny and Wahu (who has eventually become his wife).

Anyway, we should get more Nameless songs up in this joint. Sinzia is a huuuuge song and Ninanoki may be one of the most popular African party songs out there. It's really cool that they played the song at the sports bar, African music don catch far eh.
Also nice to see that Nameless is bewitching people all the way in Sweden, he will not stop there, he's taking his juju all the way to Afghanistan :-)
