Just a Band

Just A Band is a pioneering Kenyan house/funk/disco band whose influence on the Kenyan music scene has been profound and far-reaching. Formed in 2003, the group consists of Bill "Blinky" Sellanga, Dan Muli, and Mbithi Masya. They're not only musicians but also multidisciplinary artists, with backgrounds that include film and graphic design. Their versatile approach to music is evident in their eclectic sound, seamlessly blending genres like electro, hip-hop, and soul to create innovative and captivating tracks.

Just A Band released their debut album, "Scratch to Reveal," in 2008, which set the foundation for their unique sound and DIY ethos. The band's cheeky name is indicative of their self-effacing humor and a reflection of their mission to challenge the expectations and limitations of the Kenyan music industry. As they continued to evolve, they broke through to wider acclaim with their second album "82" in 2009, followed by the progressive "Sorry for the Delay," in 2012 which solidified their status as leading figures in contemporary African music. With their visually striking music videos and art projects, such as the 'MAKmende' phenomenon, Just A Band is as much about visual culture as they are about their sonic footprint. The band's works, like "WATU," "Save My Soul (Who Will Remain?)," and the singles from "ech0" like "Do You Mind?" and "Away," further exemplify their innovative style and have contributed to the reshaping of Kenya's musical and cultural landscape.
