Trio Mio, also known by his full name TJ Mario Kasela, is a rising Kenyan artist who gained popularity during the global epidemic in 2020 with his hit song “Cheza Kama Wewe.” Since then, he has become a prominent figure in the Gengetone music scene in Kenya. This article explores Trio Mio’s background, age, birthplace, career journey, net worth, and other pertinent details.
Born in 2004 in the Embakasi neighborhood of Nairobi, Trio Mio is of mixed heritage, with an Italian father of Congolese ancestry and a Kenyan mother. Music is deeply ingrained in his family, as his father is also a musician, particularly a Tanzanian bandleader who produces music.
Trio Mio’s educational journey places him in Form 2 at an undisclosed school. Following the 2020 lockdown, he returned to school, where he is currently enrolled, choosing to take a break from his musical pursuits during his time at boarding school.
Drawing inspiration from his father’s musical background, Trio Mio’s career took off during the 2020 shutdown, leveraging the time when schools were closed to prevent the spread of the virus. Despite his young age, he had been singing and performing in front of friends and family since childhood. Influenced by his brother, who rapped online with friends, Trio Mio began writing his own music and adopted the stage name TJ Mario Kasela.
Throughout his career, Trio Mio has released several notable songs, including “Bazeng,” “Zooby Zoo,” “Vumilia,” “Son of the City,” “Ule Msee,” “Kanairo,” “Serereka,” and “Big Ting.” He has collaborated with well-known Kenyan artists such as Kaligraph Jones, Mejja, Nelly the Goon, Exray, and Fena Gitu.
Managed by his mother and signed to Trouble Music, his family’s label, Trio Mio’s career took a positive turn after a previous label relationship did not work out. In his personal life, he is the youngest of three siblings, with one older brother and two younger sisters. In an interview, Trio Mio confirmed having a girlfriend, expressing openness about his relationship, with his mother approving of the openness and acknowledging the positive aspects of it.
