Nakupenda by ZAKI

73

Known by his stage name Zaki, Ahmed Zaki is a Kenyan-born artist raised between Africa and the United States. Now in his mid-20s and based just outside Columbus, Ohio, he blends cultures, sounds, and stories into music that speaks across borders.

Influenced by icons like Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber, Zaki channels passion, global perspective, and his African roots into every song. His debut single, “Nakupenda” — which means “I love you” in Swahili — is more than just music; it’s a heartfelt homage to his heritage, a bridge between continents, and a declaration of love through melody.

For Zaki, music is not only expression but identity — a universal language that carries his story from Kenya to the world. With every note, he is carving his own path, honoring his influences while creating a sound that is both deeply personal and unshakably global.
