Fire Myke

International recording artist Fire Myke, widely known by his Swahili moniker Mzungu Mjanja, has released his highly anticipated new album titled ‘Jambo.’

Distributed worldwide by DistroKid and produced by Futwax, ‘Jambo’ is a vibrant nine-track collection that blends infectious rhythms, dancehall energy and poignant storytelling into a cohesive sonic journey.

The album showcases Fire Myke’s dynamic and genre-bending musical style, while bringing together an impressive line-up of international collaborations.

Among the hit tracks is “Mama’s Love,” featuring Kenyan Swahili Dub Queen Binti Afrika — a heartfelt collaboration celebrating the power of a mother’s love.

Also featured is “Raving,” an energetic dancehall anthem featuring international dancehall artist Darrio.

Beyond its infectious rhythms, the new album explores deeply relatable stories and contemporary social themes.

Tracks such as “Green Energy,” “Ni Mungu Tu” and “Long Distance Relationship” demonstrate Fire Myke’s ability to move seamlessly between social commentary, personal experiences and universal themes of love and resilience.

“This album is a greeting to the world, a celebration of resilience and an exploration of love across borders,” says Fire Myke.

From the rhythmic storytelling of “Matatu” to the uplifting title track “Jambo,” the album takes listeners on a journey that crosses cultures, borders and musical genres.

With this new album, Fire Myke further establishes himself as an international, genre-bending artist with a distinctive ability to connect African sounds, dancehall, reggae and global contemporary music.

Short Bio

Born Michael Schuessler, professionally known as Fire Myke and widely recognized by his Swahili moniker Mzungu Mjanja, is a dynamic Reggae, Dancehall, and Afrobeat artist operating between Germany and Kenya.

He began his musical journey in 2003 as a soundman, founding Firewheel Sound, a sound system that toured extensively across Europe, Jamaica, and Kenya. Deeply immersed in authentic sound system culture from the ground up, this early foundation profoundly shaped his musical direction, global outlook, and performance style.

Building on this momentum, he later established Firewheel Records, releasing multiple riddim compilations and singles featuring international artists.

In 2018, Fire Myke officially launched his career as a recording artist in Kenya with his debut single “Mzungu Mjanja.” The accompanying music video received television airplay across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, marking a major breakthrough and firmly establishing his presence in the East African music scene.

To date, Fire Myke has recorded over 30 songs, including fan-favourite anthems such as ‘Mzungu Mjanja’ and ‘Holiday,’ alongside popular tracks like ‘Weed & Jaba,’ ‘Chili Mango Lady,’ ‘Tujibambe,’ and ‘Wewe.’ His catalogue reflects a cross-continental sound rooted in reggae traditions while embracing contemporary African and global influences.

Music Style and Influences

Fire Myke’s sound is a vibrant fusion of roots reggae, dancehall energy, Afrobeat rhythms, and subtle gospel influences. Strongly inspired by sound system culture, his music balances conscious messaging with infectious, party-ready vibes, resonating with audiences across continents.
