At age 8, Keydoli was already performing in music festivals. It is really when she discovered Madona that she decided to shift her focus towards pop music. Then a documentary about Micheal Jackson made Keydoli feel sure about what she wanted: a music career.
Her talent was discovered by a family friend who brought her to a studio record label called "Blue Zebra" : it is in this studio she recorded her first vocals as a backup artist. The label aired the song, called "Mongolo", on radio stations. It was her first hit, she was 11.
Few months later, International producer
Vincent Othieno and the late Bruce Odhiambo recorded her first song "Nipe" at Johari Cleff Records but the song was not immediately released due to her young age and school obligations.
She remembers her first music group with schoolfriends, playing front of a studio called "Calif Records", from California, few kilometers from her home in Eastleigh streets, drawing attention as they showcased there talent. It was only few years later, when school was over, that Calif Records producer Clement Rapudo offered her to act in a clip with one of the artist named Jimwhat. The main role had to be acted by a beauty girl and the clip was named "Under 18". The song was an immediat hit.
About the same time, her solo project "Nipe" was finally released. She was 17 then and the song became a double hit , with "Under 18".
"Nipe" was premiered in the movie "Project Daddy" (2004) as one of the soundtracks of the movie. On every
Radio and TV station of East Africa, Keydoli was number one. Rewarded by such a success and a number of performances on stage, she decided that all benefits would go to charities.
She recorded "Elewa" and other songs with the producer
Jesse Bukindu. This is when she decided to go back to college to pursue studying. At the age of 19 she met the man who would become the love of her life and the father of her two children.
Despite her new life, she managed to record at Ketebull Production while she got her diploma. One day, during a recording session, she received a phone call that would change her life : her husband had just passed away in a dramatic accident. She was 21 and 3 months pregnant....
During the long Stations of the Cross that followed, music was always in her mind : she wrote a number of songs while working hard for sustaining her family. In 2019, a Qatari Company, ADGS was sponsoring her new album "Love Stages", available on YouTube, iTunes and Spotify
