Named Best Folk Singer by Seattle Weekly in 2013, Naomi Wachira, makes music plucked from her life, imbued with a sense of hope. She credits her influence to two groundbreaking female songwriters, Miriam Makeba and Tracy Chapman. The daughter of a pastor, Naomi joined the traveling family band at five years old, spreading the good word through gospel song in Kenya. Since then, with her Afro infused rhythms and simple lyrics, she strives to make a positive mark in the world, by reminding us that not matter our differences, we are all alike in our existence.
