I’m a singer-songwriter, passionate about helping today's urban woman develop an intimate relationship with God, so that she may live her best possible life.

My full name is Michael Imonje Ochieng Kubai. However, I use Imonje as my artiste name. I tapped into my passion for singing in my teen years, joining the youth church choir at Winners Chapel International Nairobi , and later on the main church choir, where I served both as the assistant leader (for 15 months), and later on as leader of the choir (for 6 months). Soon afterwards, in October 2010, I joined Mavuno Church, where I'm currently serving in the worship team at the Hill City campus.

In 2010, I received 2 awards at the Talentmania Awards: "Outstanding Male Vocalist of the Year," and "Songwriter of the Year."
