Ndovu ni Kuu Age and Place of Birth
He was born on 6th January 1996 in Kabete, Nairobi as the last born in a family of three. His real name is Christopher Thande Githara but only took up his pseudo names for his music career.

Ndovu ni Kuu Education Background
Christopher Thande was a student at Kahuho Uhuru Boys where he completed his studies with a B+ grade getting him a placement at Kenyatta University. He was placed for a Geospatial Engineering course. This did not intrigue him as a course selection and so he chose to join the East Africa School of Aviation for an Aeronautical Engineering program.

The song ‘Ndovu ni Kuu’ was published on May 22 2021 but after garnering three million views in a few weeks, the video was pulled down from YouTube on grounds of copyright infringement. Dexta Briyanka is a rising artist who filed the infringement case against the trio and coupled with the defamation to Kenyatta University, was able to have the video pulled down. A line in the song says, “Mtoto Wangu akiitwa KU nitakataa”. This made rounds online and apparently negatively affected the number of admission applications made to the institution.
The trio went on to say that they would have the video back online despite the claims raised against it.
