Zachary “Proud Refuge” Mwangi, is a multi award winning recording artist, rapper, song-writer, entrepreneur and founder of the Mountain Movers Club movement. Born December 22, 1995 in Central California. The Kenyan American anomaly arose from the shadows of Sacramento with a message of hope to his generation. His smooth delivery and evocative vocal tone pair well with the bouncy, energetic production that defines his sound.

At just 25 years old, Refuge rise from local rapper with swagger to a compelling artist equipped with a message, has been refreshing to watch. As evidenced by his recent projects,  “Mountain Movers Club” (2017) and “Modern Revivalist” (2019)  Refuge has plenty of his culture and wisdom to impart, and people are rapidly connecting to his candid approach. There is a sense of transparency that comes through in his music, a refined awareness that can only be gained through experience and honing of his craft.
