Brought up in Jericho, Nairobi, Michael Mwangi who celebrates his birthday on 11 August every year completed Schooling in Nairobi. He is the most musically flexible artist under the sun. Having successfully done reggae, ragga, benga and now genge, he definitely fits the name Flexx, which was given to him by Clemo. He got interested in music when he was in class five and could do battles in F2 when he was still in Primary School. It was not long before he recorded a Reggae/Ragga album at Hills Media studio South B with his cousin Saji under the name Yardman Crue. After the album "cool down", they parted ways with his cousin who went to open up his studio. Flexx’s dream was to become a full time ragga artist and was inspired by Buju Banton, Pintious e.t.c and up to date listens to a lot of Jamaican music. The smart self styled dreadlocked artist joined Calif in the year 2000 and the producer upon hearing his great talent, sighned him. He did his first song ,’Kama wanitaka” the same year and went silent on a recording spree. Most of the songs he did are yet to be released. In the late 2004, he featured Juacali in the hit song “Nyundo” which hit the hearts of his fans like a real hammer. This was the greatest moment of his career as he established a fan base, something that he had worked so hard to do. Up to date the song is yet to come out of the minds of many people and its video is one of the most creative. It kept him on toes as fans were eagerly waiting for more and so in the early 2006, he released “Amejibeba” which as the year ends, still leads the chart, play in every matatu and the media. In August 2006 Flexx married Salma Mugure, a college student living in Sweden. To all this success, the talented singer owes it to God. Seeing the light of day is a great blessing which he must thank him. To the Calif crue, he thanks all those who helped him and will continue to work harder till Genge touches the sky. Flexx is looking forward to remixing his reggae album in Genge style though he does not very much rely on it, he is also working on other hit songs. The further backward you look the further forward you see, that’s why Mr. Nyundo cannot forget how far he has come, the support of his fans and awards nominations which makes him work even harder.
