Mwas Wa Jane, originally from Kiambogo in Nyeri County, faced early setbacks in his education due to school fees challenges, leading him to discontinue his studies after just one term of Form One. To make ends meet, he took up a job as a 'shamba boy' in Nyahururu, where he earned a monthly wage of Ksh 4,000, sustaining this work for a year.
Throughout his time as a farmhand, he continued to nurture his passion for music, recording songs with his phone and sharing them with his cousins. Encouraged by their positive response, they suggested that he should move to Nairobi to explore opportunities in the music industry.
However, life in Kenya's capital did not unfold as he had envisioned, and Mwas had to search for various means of income. A turning point in his journey occurred when a chance encounter with a passerby as he sang by the roadside led to a significant recommendation. This individual introduced him to his current guitarist, Kanjoro.
Since that fateful meeting, Mwas Wa Jane has been crafting his music, carving out a niche in the Mugithi music scene. He has been captivating audiences at different venues and events with his performances.
