Charles Njagua Kanyi, popularly known as Jaguar, has become a household name for decades now, even before joining politics.
Recently, Jaguar questioned by SPM Buzz, he wanted to address his flamboyant lifestyle that he had been balling and eating well with city girls.
Jaguar is one of the wealthiest celebrities in Kenya, and it’s true that his income comes from a variety of businesses, including record labels and garages.
What’s truly intriguing is that he indicated he would stop composing music and go to a tranquil life as a public worker if Akothee or Harmonize were wealthier than him.
”Ile kitu naeza sema ni kumshukuru Mungu mahali amenifikisha. Mimi naeza swear apa, kama mtu kama Akothee na Harmonize wamenishinda naeza wacha muziki.”

So, how well do you know Jaguar?
Born in a family of three, Jaguar was orphaned when he was only eleven years old. The artist had to fend for himself by doing menial jobs to put food in his mouth.
He worked as a tout in the chaotic public service vehicles popularly known as matatus and that’s how he was able to raise money to pay his school fees.
In 2004, the artist released his debut single “Utaweza Kweli” under the now defunct Mandugu Digitali record label.
A year later, Jaguar changed studios and released a string of singles among them “Kigeugeu”. After having a successful stint at Ogopa Deejays, the singer joined Main Switch Studios.
