The first time I heard about IMI was because of Dala Vol 2. She was one of the Afro indie-soul musicians performing at the live acoustic session in Nairobi, organized by one Junior Nyongo (If you know you know).
I was this close to going, even though I didn’t know who she was, or whether she was Kenyan or not. But the soulful singer-songwriter eventually caught my attention with her debut acoustic EP in October 2018.
