Artist Spotlight - Ssaru

Ssaru has carved out her own space as a trailblazer in Kenya’s Gengetone and hip-hop scene. Born Sylvia Saru, the fast-rising star gained recognition through viral freestyle videos, captivating fans with her raw talent and bold lyrics.


Since her debut in 2019 with Nyama, Ssaru has consistently released hit songs, earning millions of streams and working with top artists like Mejja, Trio Mio, and Bahati. Her fearless approach to music and body-positive lyrics have made her an inspiration to many young female artists striving to make it in the industry.


This Women’s Month, we celebrate Ssaru not only for her music but for breaking barriers in a genre where women are often underrepresented. From Sipangwingwi to Kichwa Tu, Ssaru continues to push boundaries and redefine the Kenyan music scene. As she takes Gengetone to new heights, she stands as a testament to resilience, talent, and the power of women in music.
