Born David Mathenge, Nameless was discovered after winning the Capital FM Star
Search in 1999 with his song Megarider. He recorded the jam with industry mainstay Tedd
Josiah, and with its release, his fate to future icon status was sealed. Nameless later
moved to Ogopa Deejays in 2001, and became label-mates with the late rapper E-sir with
whom he recorded Boomba Train. He then worked with Amani on Ninanoki in 2002, and
it was this jam that catapulted them both to stratospheric heights in the nascent urban
pop industry.
Since then, Nameless has won the hearts of fans across the age divide, consistently
releasing songs that have become soundtracks to people’s love lives and joyous
moments like Sinzia, Inspire, Coming Home… His accolades are too many to name. They
include three Kisima awards, a Kora award for best African Group with Mr. Lenny, two
MTV Europe Awards, two MTV Africa awards, two Channel O Music Video Awards, two
Pearl of Africa awards as well as two Tanzania Music awards!
The Live Room is a studio TV format that invites musicians to demonstrate, how they
create songs that dominate the charts. Our narrative is built around music,
conversations, and the process behind the music. The show seeks to share with the viewer
every artiste’s individuality, and unique approach to expressing themselves.
