Despite his challenges, Tende Kasha found solace and passion in music from a young age. With a natural inclination towards singing, he sought refuge in the melodies that filled the airwaves, igniting a lifelong love affair with music. Upon relocating to London in 1989, Tende Kasha immersed himself in the vibrant music scene despite battling vocal cord spasms that threatened to silence his voice. Undeterred, he pursued his passion for percussion and music, finding kindred spirits with whom to collaborate.
