Ky-mani is an East African term meaning adventurous traveler, and as a man living up to his name, each album or travel, is an adventure. His musical voyage began in 1999 with The Journey. With an eclectic vision he searched for his niche, roaming the musical spectrum, exploring his many talents. In 2001, Many More Roads (Grammy-nominated), a "traditional" reggae album was released exposing a more mature Ky-mani. The Journey and Many More Roads were well received worldwide, thus solidifying Ky-mani as an independent "artist".
