"the desire to pursue
accomplishments
is driven by,,
the need to satisfy and reach self actualization...
but should not make you
greedy,,unsocial or corrupt
but the jealousy of admiring what has not been done best,
With the aim of perfecting the same act.
knowing the purpose of humankind is to correct the world...
even when you cant correct yourself...
because a physician cant ." -ECSPEDITION #Musician, everyone is #singing

the usual hashtag i love to identify with #IOOOIIAOUAI
THE ECSPEDITION
Ecspedition
is a reggae musician.
The name comes from
the word expedition, which means organized journey for exploration, and
he adds his trade mark "IOOOIIAOUAI" acquired from reading peoples
brains in order to learn the ways.That enhances the meaning
to.exploration of the mind.this is as he says"is to make people see the hidden power,capabilities,love,hate,wealth,and everything they never thought they have".Ecspedition
as a Vocalist musician started singing his own music only after high
school or ( grade 2) even though the talent was there even before, as he
recalls.
THE MUSIC INTEREST ORIGIN & INSPIRATION
"i used to love music in between yr 8 to yr 10,even though i were not
sure the original kind of music my heart would settle for, not till one
day when i came across veteran Kenya radio presenter by the name "JEFF
MWANGEMI who used to play live on a weekday evening en heard him
play" reggae singles or albums" he says he developed interest and loved
the likes of BUJU BANTON,BOB MARLEY,LUCKY DUBE,who were frequently
getting airplay on the only radio station.
These he says was the first time he realized the music that totally
pleased his heart,Reggae.Later he would find himself resinging the songs
and trying to sound like the voices he earlier had heard.
He recalls attending reggae jam sessions used to be hosted by supermatch
cigarette promotions from BAT in disco nights,even though he was not
allowed, he would ran from home just to listen to the reggae music
catch a movie where one would win a packet of cigarettes just by
attending'(he says which he never smoked but traded for a 20 shillings
coin) but due to discouragement of too much music by his mother en lack
of support he was forced to do it under... only collecting a daily paper
on Sunday having an artist profile en lyrics to a song,of which he
would use to singalong en practice from such material.
ecspedition dad was a music man as he says"my dad when i was 3 to 4 yrs
i cud hear him record himself on tapes singing from books en replay
again wen he is at home on weekends or playing with us its unclear
whether this meant his dad wanted to be a musician, but ecspedition says
it makes him believe that that is where he inherited the singing talent
,which also encourages to keep going.
EARLY MUSICAL CAREER
ecspedition never stopped working to his music even after joining high
school.but due to unsatisfactory playlists he thot it would be better to
deejay these way he would play his own music.He never had any deejay
equipments but rather he would record favorite songs on a tape en replay
later to his taste.
Till later he formed a group which they would only sing en practice on
peoples songs comprising a lady en a guy though that lady quit later."we
also parted ways with the guy too with my after high school but in good
terms tho my friend would go a head en record his album in mother
tongue" IE, Kikuyu gospel which challenged him to find a studio en
launch a serious career in music. IT wasn't easy becoz of funds so After
form four he concentrated on writing his own songs since most were
inspiration and nowhere they were in record for practice or reference.
These seemed to take a different direction wen riddims started to enter
his brain as he says a radio station around 2005 called metro FM started
a show on Saturdays profiling reggae artists (Jamaican) en encouraged
him to preserve music in riddim en never knowing it would really help
studio time later.
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION

Over 2007 he joined computer college just after high school that made him move form thika to Nairobi city,en here he learned skills that evolved his music production in his own room.Around 2008 he decided to make all his tapes TO cds.2009 is the year he first had a link to get a studio record him but there were no funds so it moved to the next year where he would relaunch himself again with the first song God knows AT VINEYARD PRODUCTIONS on a riddim (world go round) from itation records.Only but the record was only shunned after the first play on radio due to quality issues,"this made him realize quality not quantity it would make him review strategies of recording good music which would in cooperate reviewing a song for a month after studio time if it was not promising on quality at first take then it would have to be rerecorded. 2011 is the yr he recorded his second single Out ma window a love song on base line of a legal riddim with DALANA ENTERTAINMENT. he continues "2011 also brought betterment because i got a job as a technician in a CCTV en access controls company where i saved money to do an album this was achieved around June same yr at AXIS MEDIA RECORDS ,album launched ova august 2012.
