Joseph Kinuthia Kamau, alias Omosh, who rose to fame with his role in the popular TV show Tahidi High, has spoken out about his humble beginnings.
Published on December 2, 2019, Omosh revealed that he had to work hard to make ends meet before joining the show in 2008.
During an interview with YouTuber Monicah Kagoni, Omosh shared his story, saying, 'I studied accounts because that is what my dad wanted. I was a bright child that is why I am very creative.'
However, Omosh's life took a different turn when he joined form one and joined the Chuo cha Ushaji (CU) drama club, where he caught the attention of the Chairman.
After high school, Omosh put acting aside and joined college, before working in the Jua Kali sector, where he did various jobs, including carrying goods for people and ironing sheets.
At one point, Omosh even worked as a pick-up driver, driving a car used for garbage collection, to make ends meet for his young family.
