Kenyan-born artist Zaki steps into the spotlight with his debut single, “Nakupenda” — a smooth and heartfelt Afro-pop track that captures the moment love turns from unspoken feelings to honest confession.

Now based on the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio, the mid-20s singer blends the influences of his Kenyan roots with global pop sounds inspired by icons like Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber. The result is a refreshing fusion that bridges continents, cultures, and emotions.

Meaning “I love you” in Swahili, “Nakupenda” is a love song and a reflection of Zaki’s journey, a tribute to his African heritage, and an introduction to his authentic voice. Each note carries his passion and story, blending rhythm, melody, and emotion into something both deeply personal and universally relatable.

With “Nakupenda,” Zaki begins his musical chapter with purpose and identity, setting the tone for what promises to be a bright future in Afro-pop.
