Fresh is a Tanzanian singer/songwriter who lives in Tokyo and rocks the island and Asia with his own style of music, a mix of Tanzanian Rumba/Rock, Mduara, R&B and Hip Hop. Born in Tanga northeast coast of Tanzania, he started singing in Tanga with his friends when he was 6 years old. While he was still little boy, he moved to the capital Dar Es Salaam and joined the Dar International band. Fresh performed with many famous musicians and bands in Tanzania like Juwata Jazz band, Mlimani Park Band and Safari Sound Band, and wrote and sang many hit songs. Jirani, Masudi, Bwana Mashaka, Namsaka mbaya wangu (Ama zake ama zangu), Pamela, Ndoa ya lazima, Conjester, Kinyozi hajinyoi, Elimu ni msingi wa maisha, Tuhifadhi mazingira and Penzi ni kikohozi are some of his hit numbers in Tanzania. His song Tuhifadhi Mazingira (Let's Protect Environment) was a big hit in Tanzania. It earned him the opportunity to be one of only two Tanzanian musicians who were chosen by Tanzania Environment Organization to represent Tanzania in an African Environment Festival in Nairobi Kenya in early 90's. This song has been played in many Environment activities and events in Tanzania, including some environment programs in some Radio Stations. In 1991, Fresh moved to Kenya to try to widening his talent. In Kenya, Fresh and other musicians from Tanzania, Kenya and Democratic Republic of Congo, found the band Angusha. Soon, the band became very popular in Nairobi. In 1992 Fresh Jumbe and Angusha signed contract to perform in an African club (Pigapiga) in Tokyo Japan. In 1994 Fresh moved to London to further his music business, but in 1995 he decided to move to Japan and start his new life in Tokyo where he currently lives. In 1996, Fresh started the band Sangana Musica , now known as The Tanzanites. With 4 musicians from Tanzania, 1 from Democratic Republic of Congo and 2 Japanese musicians, The Tanzanites have found enthusiastic audiences in Japan and Asia. While he returns to his homeland in Tanzania to perform, he mainly works out of Tokyo, where he owns the recording studio and video production company, Fresh Productions.
