Based in Kilifi, Kenya, British born LASTA is a DJ and Singer, Producer and Curator pushing the arts scene in Kenya as Creative Director for 'Beneath the Baobabs' and on his label ADA Records.

As a DJ, LASTA’s sets are a journey through House Music and Disco both old school and fresh, infusing Live Vocals, embracing syncopated rhythms, layering tracks and deep tropical rhythms to keep you moving. Whilst his Backyard Bass sets demonstrate a deep love for Gengetone, Dancehall, Garage and Jungle. 

You can check out his dance floor sets through the LASTA LISTENS playlist; as well as his love for Kenyan music whilst promoting the Kenyan Nu-Wave scene on his monthly show THE NAIROBI CONNECT on Reform Radio.

Serro is out to tell the African story through her Benga and Jazz-fused Afro-Pop sound. Influenced by Yemi Alade, Dela, Sautisol and Winyo, her sound contains hints of Kenyan traditional folk sounds.

Serro has graced numerous stages, while still pursuing her degree in Music at Kenyatta University. Her larger-than-life stage personna and powerful but fluid voice have made her performances memorable. From Sondeka Festival to Pawa Festival and her own concert (Kasha), she has ended up in the list of “Top 10 Female Artistes to look out for in 2016” by Kenya Buzz.

By the time she was graduating in 2017 (with first class honours), Serro had shared the stage with award-winning acts such as Sauti Sol, Dela, Wyre and added her mellow vocals to Juma Tutu & the Swahili Jazz Band and Ricky na Marafiki.

The video to her debut single , Rongai, released in 2016 was selected in Mpasho’s “Best Kenyan Music Videos in 2016”. The song was produced by Sauti Sol’s Polycarp Otieno and the video directed by VjOne.

Serro represented the country in 2015 at an intensive collaborative workshop in South Africa, as one of two students chose by the Music Faculty of Kenyatta University. The ‘musical storyteller’ has most recently been added to the Sauti Academy Hall of Fame as one of the outstanding alumnus.
