Sauti Sol singer Chimano has come out as a member of the LGBT+ community to encourage others to live their truth.

The musician, full name Willis Austin Chimano, is a member of one of Kenya’s biggest male bands, Sauti Sol, with the award-winning afro-pop group enjoying huge success across the continent and diaspora.

In a new interview with the local publication The Standard, the hitmaker confirmed he is a member of the LGBT+ community.

Sex between men is currently punishable by up to 14 years in prison in Kenya. However, prosecutions under this law are not common.

While attitudes towards LGBT+ people are becoming more liberal, a challenge to overturn the law was rejected by the Kenyan High Court in 2019.
