Juliani's journey to stardom was far from smooth, as he revealed in a recent blog post. The gospel artiste, now in a relationship with Brenda Wairimu, has had his fair share of struggles, including addiction and a troubled past.
According to Juliani, he lost his virginity at the tender age of 12, while in class 3. This was not an isolated incident, as he claimed that most of his peers were already exposed to sex at that age.
By the time I was in class 3, we were already exposed or somehow introduced to sex. There was always a naked magazine being passed around when the teacher had his back on us, concentrating on the blackboard busy trying to find X.
Juliani also opened up about his high school days, where he would steal his classmates' girlfriends and watch adult movies in Dandora. He recalled how they would sneak into video dens, which were mostly wooden structures showing movies and football matches, and how they would avoid familiar faces by walking from phase 4 to phase 2.
As Juliani reflected on his past, he noted that it was a series of bad choices that led to his destructive behavior. He wrote, 'When a fire is not controlled, it becomes destructive.'
Juliani's story is a cautionary tale of how a troubled past can shape one's future. From being a marijuana addict to washing Johnny K-shaka's boots, Juliani's journey to stardom was indeed a long and winding road.
