Echo Strings is my ongoing solo and collaborative music project that blends rich East African musical traditions with modern genres. Through this project, I craft unique guitar arrangements that fuse gospel, sebene, bongo flava, Afrobeat, and contemporary praise. I work with bands, churches, and studios to deliver both live and recorded sessions that speak to culture, creativity, and spiritual expression.

Whether it’s leading worship with soulful chords, layering sebene fills, or composing new Afro-fusion songs, Echo Strings is my personal sound signature—where rhythm meets heart.
