Purity Nyambura popularly known as Quincher Mkanambo a.k.a Kanambo DeDe was born in 2005 in Santon, Kasarani at the Eastlands of Nairobi City where she grew up and went to school there.

Her dad has always been absent leaving them struggling to pay rent, feed themselves or even go to school.
She joined The Bridge School located within Santon Kasarani for her primary education.
Upon joining high school, she had a disagreement with her mother, which led her to being sent away from home.
All these meant that she had to drop out of school. She did exactly that even though she was just 14 years old and headed to Kayole, another ghetto slum in Embakasi.
She hassled as hard as she could, working as a waitress in a soup kitchen, hawking Changaa, and everything she had to do to survive.
While in Kayole, she lived with her friend in a single room together with her friend’s boyfriend whom all depended on Kanambo to put food on the table.

Her early pregnancy comes with a lot of things she has had to go through to the point that she became prone to making bad decisions.
When she was 7 months pregnant, Kanambo couldn’t go to work anymore and the guy couldn’t provide for her so she had to make tough decisions.
She had to kill her ego and go back home to apologize to her mum and take her back.
It was a painful feeling to realize how much she had disappointed her mother but Kanambo just had to accept the situation and deal with it the way it is.
The guy later denied the responsibility of the pregnancy and Kanambo was left alone to take care of herself and the baby.
At least this time round, she was back home closer to her mum.
Kanambo DeDe is optimistic about the future and is ready to reduce the burden of poverty in her family through music.
