Who Is Gloria Muliro? Birth Place And Music Career Journey

Gloria Muliro was born Gloria Owendi Muliro, back on 1st April 1980 to her late parents (David Muliro and Joice Asami) who equally raised her in Emuhaya, the Western part of Kenya. She came into the limelight back in 2005 when she recorded her first album ‘Omwami Aletsa’ (My God Will Surely Come), which received massive airplay, especially on local radio stations.

On the one hand, several of her single tracks have hit airwaves in Kenya and beyond East Africa. Among them being the ones she featured the now turned secular artist Willy Paul Msafi (Sitolia and Kitanzi), Follow You, Kando, Msaidizi, and Matokeo. Realistically, her recent songs, which include Ndiyo Yako (Your Yes), Narudisha, Nakubaliana, and Anatenda, have also been received well.

It was on one early morning of the 3rd of November 1989 — she says, “there was almost no hope for a better tomorrow” to her and her siblings.

But, as she puts it, it is her sister Janet Muliro that she has to thank in addition to God’s favor. This is because, whenever they went through any tough times, Janet would show her how to pray. At times, “I could sneak up on her as she prayed, and I would learn to pray myself.” This led her to become committed to Christ both at home and church.

And this has been quite an inspiration, particularly to the young girls she mentors through the Ajiri Dada Initiative Project.

Her Other Noble Aspirations, Awards & Recognitions

Something her fans find her uniquely blessed with.
