Stanning debut...
Stan Ng'ang'a for me is one of those "where did he come from?" moments. From the little I've heard from this guy I can tell there is some massive talent here. Vocal talent and plus he plays guitar. You don't see outstanding talent alot these days and I hope he sticks around in the Kenyan music industry. Definitely one to watch.....
Stan - "Raindrops"
Stan - "Rise"
His debut album was released last year and is called.....Kenya Debut.haha.
