Samuel Kimiti Gitau - our guest for today, embarked on his journey in the world of theater, initially at the Kenya National Theatre. Born in Nyahururu, Riverside, he faced academic challenges during his schooling days, and even though he was quite vocal, he wasn't the best student.
His path then took him to a seminary in Nyeri, where one day, he vividly remembers consuming the sacrament. However, a turning point came when he received a letter inviting him to join JKUAT. He realized that the priesthood wasn't his calling and embraced campus life. Although he didn't study at JKUAT, he eventually graduated from Pioneer and later pursued a degree in Industrial Chemistry at an unspecified institution.
His love for the arts led him to National Theatre, particularly the Fanaka and later Jicho Four theater groups, where he continued to hone his theatrical talents.
Samuel's career took an unexpected turn when he began recording demos for radio, thanks to his friend Mwana Mwende, who had connections in the industry.
He later joined KBC as an assistant producer for several shows, including "Je huu ni ungwana," a gospel show, and "Homegrown," where he also hosted the ultimate choir segment.
As fate would have it, Samuel heard rumors about the upcoming Inooro TV and was given the responsibility of recruiting talent. When the vernacular station was launched, he took on the role of producing various shows and, after a year, was entrusted with hosting the popular show "Mugambo wa Murimi."
