Kato Change
Kato  Change  (Kenya)  is  a  self-taught  guitarist  whose  technique  was  nurtured  by  an  emerging  online  community  of  musicians  on  YouTube.  His  self-directed  style  draws  from  a  heritage  of  African  music  as  well  as  Blues  and  Jazz.  

In  2012,  Kato  was  a  Fellow  in  the  U.S  Department  of  State's  One  beat  program.  In  December  2015,  Kato  released  his  debut  album,  'The  Change  Experience';  a  collaborative  journey,  with  each  artist  sharing  a  unique  perspective  on  creating  music.  In  September  2016,  he  was  one  of  fifteen  musicians,  composers  and  performers  from  around  the  globe  to  come  together  at  OMI,  a  unique  collaborative  music  making  residency  program  in  New  York.
