Biography
Muthoni Ndonga was born and raised in Nairobi in Kenya. She wanted to become an artist since childhood, but her modest middle class parents tried to discourage her.
She developed her passion in choirs at school until 2004 when, as a student, she organized her first concert with the help of her friends. In 2008, after having obtained her diploma in international relations and philosophy at the Kenyan university United States International University Africa (USIU Africa), believing that alternative music has little visibility in Kenya, she founded the festival ' 'Blankets & Wine'[4]
