Steve Onyango, musically known as Proff was born on 1st April 1984 in Nairobi 's Mbotela Estate to a family of 5 His fascination with music started during his high school years, but got his first breakthrough as a dancer, later joined a boy band called FUNNY BOYZ with two of his schoolmates.
He later moved out of the group to persue his solo career, a period during which he was recruited as a back up singer for an established Dancehall artiste, Redsan, where he practiced and perfected his craft for a couple of years, until he felt ready enough to be his own man and charted his solo career path.
In 2010, he got his huge break with the song 'DATA' that quickly ushered him to the limelight as a solo artiste, produced at Herbal Records with Maich Blaq and the herbalists. He would then churn out a number of singles as solo artist, followed by a 19 track album - SIKU NYINGI
Produced at the same studio, SIKU NYINGI was Proff's personal diary expressed musically ,of a journey full of fond memories as there were rocky times and he endured to chase his his music dream, and through out the 19 tracks is a constant story of, thus Siku Nyingi, Swahili for ; many days'. The album featured several talented minds such as Anto neosoul,Fidempa,Ala C,Wyre and Juliani..
Proff curved a niche for himself by reinterpreting Dancehall and giving it an authentic Swahili feel,making it both relatable at home when at the time most Kenyan dancehall was a copy of the Jamaican accent . It's this new sound that remains an outstanding characteristic of his works to date. He is also regarded as a versatile artist and an accomplished singer- songwriter, a vibrant stage performer given his extensive background as a back up singer and dancer.
Tofauti Album
After many years of learning, relearning and maturing into the craft, Proff took a two year musical hiatus,a period that served as a well deserved creativity space for the creation of his latest brainchild,Tofauti Album. Like its predecessor Siku Nyingi, Tofauti diarizes his experiences and contains music for the soul and is As the name suggests, Tofauti(Swahili for different) is a culmination of maturity, the musicianship and growth acquired over the years,an album set to paint out his artistic versatility as he has explored and ventured into other styles other than dancehall.
