1. The Room That Housed Greatness - Daddy Owen - The Play House

Daddy Owen was born in Kakamega, Western Kenya in 1982 and is arguably Kenya's biggest gospel musician. He is the second born in a family of four brothers, all musicians and a sister. His elder brother Rufftone is a gospel musician who Daddy Owen refers to as "my inspiration". He is an alumnus of Eshihiru Secondary school but was not lucky enough to join a tertiary institution due to financial constraints. He thus had to travel to Nairobi where he worked as a matatu tout. The income he earned from this job was to meagre that it could not sustain his needs and that of his family. Daddy Owen has always confessed that he used to be a pick pocket in Downtown Nairobi and thus was until he was attacked by a mob and almost lynched. Daddy Owen is the founder of Malaika Awards which seeks to honour artistes with disabilities. He also launched the "Macho Macho" campaign aimed at providing medical attention to needy people with eye problems in Kakamega. The Second Chance Campaign launched by Daddy Owen in 2012 gives moral and financial support to cancer victims in all parts of the country and creates cervical cancer awareness, encourages women to seek cervical cancer screening services. Daddy Owen also supports the Phoenix football team in Nairobi. MPESA Till (Buy Goods) 5236949 Send Wave (+254) 701-000-777 Support us to continue making podcasts - http://bit.ly/donatecta
