Who is Otile Brown?
Otile Brown born Jacob Obunga is a Kenyan musician, songwriter and actor. He was born in 1994 in Mombasa in a family of seven. Despite being a household name in Kenyan music industry, Otile faced a lot of challenges growing up, and had to sell liquor at some point in his life after his parents died.
“I was born and brought up in Mombasa. After my parents’ death I was forced to sell traditional liquor to make ends meet. I was 12 then, I even dropped out of school owing to lack of fees,” he said.

Reports indicate that he started singing at the tender age of 12. Being in Mombasa, he was not able to achieve the much he wanted musically and decided to relocate to Nairobi in 2013. In an interview with Nation, Otile divulged that after relocating to Nairobi, he met Jalang’o who introduced him to music producer Dr Eddie.
Question: Did you have a godfather, or a figure of some sort, to guide you?
Otile’s Answer: Not really, but Jalang’o pointed me in the right direction. He gave me two options, to choose either Wyre or Dr Eddie to be my producer. I chose Eddie.
Question: Why not Wyre?
Otile’s Answer: Because he is very busy. He is an artiste like me and I needed someone who could give me their full attention.
