Born and raised in Mogadishu, Keyo started his music career singing songs by his favorite Somali artists at local parties and weddings. Audiences loved his voice and often told him he sounded better than the original artists. Two years ago at age 17, Keyo began writing his own songs and performing them for eager crowds.
