REFUGE is a young band from Kenya - fronted by a powerhouse 13-year old female singer. The band is made up of kids from 6 countries and four continents, ages 13 to 16. While their journey started halfway around the world, musically they are greatly influenced by ‘70s classic rock, funk and reggae, and the legacy of great, live rock music.
The band's name, REFUGE, represents what they are all about: an escape from the inauthentic music of our times; it also acknowledges their origins as “development kids” and their drive for social consciousness.
Formed in 2016, the band debuted publicly in 2018 and has quickly excelled to become the #1 rock band in Kenya, where they've received a lot of press. In August 2019, REFUGE played its first international gig at the Bautz Music Festival in Germany.
