Born in the US to Kenyan college students who returned back to Nairobi after graduating, Xpect, a New York
based producer began as a radio/club Dj and promoter in Minneapolis before continuing same in New York City
upon moving in 2010.
Having grown up in Kenya and taking a keen interest in traditional music, Xpect began
experimenting with infusing Afro music elements into urban pop songs for remixes, before pushing boundaries and
creating his own sound, coined afroelectronica/nomadic soul, which infuses musical elements from Africa and The
West, topped off with soulful melodies.
His work caught the attention of multi grammy award winning musician Alicia Keys who enlisted him for work on
an official remix project in 2016. Since then, he released a compilation album before putting his music on hold
to lend his time to social justice initiatives, leading Streetriders NYC, one of the largest Black Lives Matters protest movements
in the wake of George Floyd’s killing in 2020. He also founded a community initiative called Safewalks to offer
a presence to New Yorkers who felt unsafe while using public transit, in light of several attacks against women
and members of the Asian community. 
In 2022 he announced release of an EP Album ” Nomadic Soul Therapy” consisting of self-composed afroelectronica
music which provided him an escape during the rough moments amid the pandemic and protests. He plans to tour,
introducing the world to the sound, which he hopes will be a tool used to foster unity, awakening, and purpose.
