    More than a year after parting ways with his long term talented pianist Joseph Odero popular Ohangla star John Okinyo popularly known as Osogo Winyo continues to soldier on besides winning the hearts of many music fans locally and beyond.

Due to financial constraints, he was not able to pay his school fees for form 4 and decided to move to Nairobi to do jua kali work in Kayole. While doing the simple jobs, he continued playing music. Osogo says: 'I didn't prepare to be a musician, it just happened. I wasn't trained how to play drums, how to play the öppning organ or how to sing, inom just funnen myself playing music. On stage inom develop my songs spontaneously'.

    “My dad was nicknamed Osogo, a name that comes from the bird that builds its nest during the årstid when maize is in plenty in my homeland. I therefore took that name but the fans gave me the surname ‘Winyo’ and I adopted all of them,” Osogo says.
