Amos Kimani

Founder, TausiApp | From Gospel Artist to Beauty-Tech Innovator

Amos Kimani is a visionary entrepreneur who transformed his passion for music into a revolutionary beauty-tech platform, TausiApp, changing the beauty landscape in Kenya and beyond. Born in Kahawa West, Nairobi, on May 18, 1991, Amos grew up surrounded by the vibrant energy of his neighborhood, fueled by a love for music and his mother's unwavering
support. Growing up in a modest household, Amos learned valuable lessons from his mother's resilience
and dedication at Gikomba Market, which laid the foundation for his own entrepreneurial spirit. He went on to join the acclaimed gospel group SOC, where he discovered his passion for music and the power of inspiring others — SOC became a household name, releasing popular hits and garnering awards. While on tour with SOC, the struggle to find reliable beauty service providers sparked the idea for TausiApp. Inspired by the ease of Uber, Amos founded TausiApp in 2019, leveraging
technology to connect clients with skilled beauticians. TausiApp now boasts over 32,000 clients and 6,000 service providers, transforming the beauty industry in Kenya by fostering a more
accessible, professional, and client-centered beauty industry, and empowering beauticians with tools, financial services, and opportunities to thrive.

Hi, I’m Andrew Ogango. I’m the guy who will happily spend hours discussing lighting setups, visual framing, or finding the absolute best gear for a shoot.

I’m a huge tech enthusiast at heart, constantly exploring new software, emerging tools, and digital innovations to weave seamlessly into my production workflows. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing everything from high energy events to brand campaigns and documentaries across Kenya.
