Kenyan Gospel singer Astar real/full name is Richard Njau, He was born on 5th December 1981 in kenya.
Richard Njau born on 5th December 1981, of his my two loving parents
(mummy and daddy). He has 2 sisters Kimberly Shiru Njau and Melanie Nyambura
Njau. He also have 2 bitches Stella Njau and Fluff Njau and one biatch Snowy
Njau.
Astar stated school around 1985 and attended
Baptist kindergarten. The only memory He have of this period was being sent to
school in order to catch the mumps from my classmates.
Richard Njau then changed school and moved to Kilimani
Junior Academy (KJA). He meet quite a couple of people while in KJA who he would
later meet in life… and not recognize! .
January 1990… also know as the beginning of his life. he think his parents had it with him and decided to send him to a
boarding school all the way in SHAGS!! Mount Kenya Academy all the way in Nyeri.
Here he would make his first true friends and be introduced to the female species
at a whole new perspective. his best buddy at the time and still one of his best
friends… the golf maniac, super flyboy Theuri Gatonye. Other buddies

there it was off to England.
1995 England.The interlude in his life.
The experience he had here was a totally change. From doing mathematical
calculations in my head to calculators. From small time bashes where he would be
too shy to ask a girl to dance, to being asked to dance on an ice-skating ring.
From being in a school with only one white student to being one of 4 black
students in a school. he attended Holyfield High School where he meet a number of
peeps. My 4 closest pals were, Vincent de Vos, John Macauldy, John Beningard and

cousin whom he consider my brother was also living with us (Richard a.k.a.
Senior). Oh yah… he can’t forget their 2 biatches (Maisha and Pepsi).
1998… Braeburn High School (A-levels). The
REAL life!! In all his years, he had one of my best times at Braeburn. There’s too
much vibe to go into so I’ll just thank all the people who made an impact in my
life. Firstly his best boy, the Zambian, lived England migrated Kenya. The boy
who knows me better than anyone. My partner in crime. My other half. I’m Puff
