Proud Refuge is a multi-talented reformer who explores afro, trap and pop music singing and rapping in both English and Swahili. With two albums and several mixtapes, he has built an international fan base.

Discovered and introduced by Rufftone in 2012, Refuge signed a deal for his song "Live" featuring Kenyan rapper Juliani. Transitioning from a local rapper to a thoughtful artist at 23, Refuge's growth has been evident in his projects "Mountain Movers Club" (2017) and "Modern Revivalist" (2019).

In the years following, Refuge focused on refining his music style, honing his sound, and releasing multiple records under the rap alias "pesa," which he later changed in 2015. Teaming up with renowned producers and artists such as Dj Cooley, Q-heem, Limoblaze, Nkay, and Gil Joe further enriched his musical journey.

The breakthrough came with his track "Sight," featuring Sajan Nayarial, which was showcased on "The Ace family" YouTube channel, amassing over 10 million views and expanding his fanbase.

His latest project, Modern Revivalist, has garnered significant acclaim, featuring collaborations with rapper Joey Vantes from the west coast.
