Billy Miya's Biography in Summary

Billy Miya is a Kenyan radio host who works for Radio Maisha. He began his career in Kenya's coastal region and has worked hard to establish himself in the industry. In 2009, he received the Nzumari award for best male presenter and coast region.

Carving out a niche in the industry is difficult enough, so doing so and being able to receive an award is a feat in and of itself. Billy Miya has certainly accomplished both. Many people know him as "the player," a character he had to invent when he first started out in radio.

Age

Billy Miya was born on December 16, 1985.

Education

The presenter attended Kaloleni Primary School for one year before transferring to Tudor Day High School. He then enrolled at Our Lady of Mercy Ringa Boys in Homa Bay County, where he finished high school.

Following high school, he applied for a Diploma course at Mombasa Polytechnic, which is now known as the Technical University of Mombasa. He did not receive his admission letter, prompting his father to inquire about the institution's delay. He was informed that the letter had been sent and that the intake was overdue. He had no choice but to take a certificate course, which he did.

Family

He is married to Khadija Khamis, and they have three children, two boys and a girl. Miya is a dedicated father who revealed to SDE how much his life changed after becoming a father.
Billy is the first of four children, two boys and two girls. The radio host was fiercely protective of his siblings and would beat anyone who dared to mess with them. He was raised as a Christian, but later converted to Islam.

Career

As a child, he enjoyed listening to Metro Radio and would even record his favorite songs on his father's cassette player. This got him into trouble more than once.

The award-winning presenter began as an intern at Pwani Radio, where he later got a job. He hosted Tafrija la Pwani on Pwani Radio, an evening show that aired beyond Mombasa's borders. After a disagreement with the station's management, he left to join Baraka FM. He was initially assigned to host Mziki Mzuka and later Mega Breakfast Show, both of which were popular in the region at the time.

The radio show host was then offered a position at Milele FM, where he worked for only a short time before being approached by another station. He joined Radio Maisha and shared the breakfast show with MCA Tricky.
