I was born Paul Nunda on the 12th of September 1979.I started rapping when I was in Jamhuri high school but I was not that actively involved in music.After finishing school in 1998 that’s when I got active into music.I hooked up with Clemo my childhood friend and started calif records in the year 2000.At first I was meant to be a producer and look for guys who would rap.We hooked up with a few guys but things did not work out coz they did not have faith in us.So with pressure from clemo and a few friends I was forced to pick up the mic myself.And in the year 2001 'JUACALI' was born.Basically the name 'JUACALI' comes from my estate. It simply means 'know California' coz so many guys don’t know where calif is.I released my first song 'RUKA' a dedication to Calif the same year which to our surprise went on to top the charts.In 2002 I released my second single ‘NIPEASALI’, which also did well on the local charts.
In 2003 I decided to lay low for a while and do videos for my previous songs. By mid 2003 I had done videos for 'RUKA' and 'NIPEASALI'.That’s when things started opening up and people started to appreciate calif records more.
In 2004 I released my third single 'NIKIPOTEA TENA’, which blew up like nitro. Basically the song was a big up to all the towns we had toured in 2003.Mid 2004 I hooked up with Pilipili a guy who had just signed with Calif records and did a party joint called 'KAMATA DAME' which blew up like crazy.It topped the charts on all radio stations. You can still hear it in clubs and in all matatus.
And the video a luch production is one of the hottest videos ever produced in Kenya. I have just released a mini album 'juacalisekta the mini album' which contains my old songs and a new song featuring Jimwat.The mini album is currently doing well on the underground scene.Am now putting the final touches on my full album 'JUACALISEKTA' hopefully it will be out by midyear. So watch out!

Nonini - Hanyaring Game CD
"HANYARING GAME" THE ALBUM
............. This is my debut album. It has been long over due, owed to some unavoidable circumstances but finally its here and I hope u will enjoy. All the tracks are the best of Genge u have ever heard. It's a 14-track album including an outro, intro and interlude. U got old stuff that u have heard ever since I chucked into the music scene plus 4 more new tracks produced by Maitch Blak of Southwest Records i.e.
* Mtoto mzuri,
* Watu featuring Ratattat,
* Kuta vitu featuring Gdruff and
* Keroro remix by Dr Rekebisha.
* Keroro produced by Musyoka at the Homeboyz Studios.
The Hanyaring Game! Why the hanyaring game? What on earth were u thinking calling your album that? So many people would ask. Hanyaring basically means courting in sheng. So the hanyaring game is a full story from track 1 all the way to track 10. Briefly I'll break it down!
Track 1 is 'Manzi wa Nairobi' where im praising a Nairobi chick who I met, then it happened that manzi wa Nairobi was a 'Mtoto mzuri' (track 2) yaani the type of chick I would marry, I told her 'We kamu' (track 3) to my house and I guess u know what we did. We got really attached that I fell in love then I had to tell her what im holding back in my heart. Na teseka coz of her love, yaani 'Moyon'i (track 4). As u know guyz started talking badly, which is obvious with relationships hence track 5 'Watu'. Unfortunately she listened to the crap people were telling her about me then she started telling me 'Hunipati' (track 6). All the guyz out there will like me at this part coz u know how we do…i took her out for some 'Keroro' (track 9). Then she lost her senses coz she was gauge, she was maji, she was Keroro…taking advantage I took her back to the crib na nika 'Kuta Vitu' (track 10). So that's the Game. The Hanyaring Game.The rest of the Tracks are a little bit conscious like 'Walietuacha' dedicated to 4 fallen heroes starting with My Brother. If u look at the cover, in my head there is me as a little child sitting with my brother, meaning he is always gonna b in my head, hence the theme for the cover design. The track ends with others in the industry that have left us i.e. The Late Esir, Wikimosh and Krupt. May Jehovah rest their souls in eternal peace. Enjoy.

The Last Mile Movie DVD
The Last Mile "The Last Mile provides a rare insight into challenges faced by African Immigrants in America. It delves into the issue of African and African-American relations in a manner never seen before.
The Last Mile is cleverly structured with intense subtext and demands attention from the intelligent movie enthusiast" The promise of the American dream entices Kevin; a young talented African to stay in America but he soon discovers that life in America is not as easy as it is portrayed to be. He finds himself out on the street and eventually meets the charismatic, smooth talking lawyer, Mr. Moore who takes him in. But Mr. Moore has ulterior motives and Kevin once again finds himself in a tough position where he has to balance love, ambition and survival.
The Last Mile explores the widely unexplored theme of Intra-racial tension between Africans and African-Americans; and is an expose on the struggles that aspiring young Africans in America encounter in search of a better life. The Last Mile features Christian Mungai (of Music group Milele) as Kevin, William Shipman as Mr. Moore (Homicide, HBO's The Corner and The Wire, America's Most Wanted and Comedy Central's Dave Chappelle Show) Courtney Rhodes (Savvy Models, The Fashion Firm) and Adrienne Fairley (Divided City, A Word before Dying, Pelican Brief, Contact).
