Kenyan Groove Awards winner in multiple categories for the third year in a row, and U.S. Talanta Award winner as the coveted male artist of 2008, Juliani is known for his powerful lyrics and passionate delivery.
Juliani was the first ever Kenyan artist to be signed to a full-fledged UK-based record label, Gatwitch Records. The result of that partnership is the highly acclaimed studio album, Mtaa Mentality, released in December 2008. A long-serving radio presenter, Eve D’Souza, prompted every lover of conscious music to get their hands on that album.
Juliani has collaborated with the likes of KORA winner Eric Wainaina and Afro-fusion sensation Kanjii, as well as Kisima Nominees Holy Dave, and Wenyeji. His exploits have seen him perform at the annual Zanzibari music festival and partner with innovative French electro-fusion outfit Kanine Records. Very socially conscious, he has supported causes such as the World Vision Peace Tour (around Kenyan cities & towns), Vina Na Maana (a campaign against Economic Partnership Agreements), Stand Up Against Poverty (UN Millennium Campaign For MDG’s), and has been a facilitator at the NCA conscious music workshop. In December 2009 he represented KenyaCopenhagen. at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
