X-Sinner

Bio

Oscar Omondi Odondi a.k.a.X-sinner(Former sinner) was born in Kisumu City, Western Kenya. He was brought up in a Christian family but full of diversity. His mother was a committed Seventh Day Adventist while his father was a committed member of Deliverance church. As a result, he is well conversant with both churches, as he has attended both since his childhood.

The father (The late Patrick Odondi Adoyo) held a masters degree in Music and taught music in several colleges before his death. Among the colleges he taught in include Kagumo, Thogoto, and Asumbi Teachers Colleges. He was also a member of the Nyanza Province Music Professionals and Adjudicators.

As a result of this, X-sinner found himself slowly but steadily loving Music from a very tender age. And with the coaching of his father, he performed well in music both as a subject in school, and as an art. From this background X-sinner developed the dream of becoming an accomplished musician.

At 11 years, he had already began singing in church, especially at Kisumu East S.D.A church and at school (Kibuye Mixed Primary School). At 12 years, he presented a solo song that was ranked first in Kisumu District and earned him the fame and his first certificate in Music.

After the death of his parents at 13, he joined Waondo Secondary School in Mbita District, enlisting in the school band. The school band was basically comprised of traditional music instrument players. Here, X-sinner gained skills in playing traditional instruments such as the Coastal marimba. He was also the lead singer in his school choir, the Waondo secondary school choir.

In 2004, X-sinner joined Kenyatta University and immediately developed interests in Music. Although, he pursued a bachelor’s degree in Education, his interest in Music was imminent through out his entire period in Kenyatta University. He performed in many university public functions.

He began his professional singing a year ago when he recorded his first song with Kamata Entertainment, based in Nairobi. He later moved on to record with Dede Records(Timeless records), also based in Nairobi’s Muthaiga area. He is currently working on his debut album at Dede Records, working closely with producer Sammy Gitonga.
