Published on May 3, 2021, Trio Mio's rise to fame is a testament to his talent and dedication to music. The 16-year-old musician has already made a name for himself in the Kenyan music industry with his hit song 'Cheza Kama Wewe', which features renowned Gengetone artists Mejja, Nelly the Goon, and Exray.

Starting his music journey in class 6, Trio Mio's breakthrough song 'Cheza Kama Wewe' was released just five months ago. The young musician has also been compared to the late Issa due to their similarity in appearance, a comparison he proudly appreciates.

Lyrical Genius

Trio Mio has faced criticism for his explicit lyrics, with his mother, who also manages his career, expressing her disapproval. In a candid interview, Trio Mio shared his thoughts on the matter.

“Mum ananiambanga, wewe izo ni nini unaimba apa? My mum is my manager.”

Before his current success, Trio Mio was involved in a scandal with his previous manager, who allegedly conned him. The young musician is also a student, struggling to balance his music and education.

“Siezi wadanganya. Kubalance ni kitu ingine ngumu sana… Coz mi nikiendanga shule sometimes mi hufkirianga tu wimbo…

Since the release of 'Cheza Kama Wewe', Trio Mio has collaborated with other notable artists, including Fena Gitu. The song has garnered an impressive 5.9 million views, a significant achievement for a young talent.
