Mic Cheque Podcast has emerged as a powerful voice driven by genuine synergy and a touch of fate. On The Obinna Show, the podcast’s hosts—Chaxy, Mariah, and Mwass—revealed how seemingly unrelated encounters laid the groundwork for what has become a national sensation.
Their story didn’t begin with a grand plan; it sprung to life in the simplest of moments. Mariah and Mwass first crossed paths while filming the show’s inaugural episode, instantly recognizing a creative rapport that sparked something greater. Meanwhile, Chaxy had admired Mariah’s work since 2017—admiring her from afar as he watched her audition tape online. “Chaxy was a big fan of my work and he couldn’t stop fangirling when he saw me,” Mariah recounted, which shows just how long momentary impressions can echo.
As for Chaxy and Mwass, they bonded organically at a Nairobi concert—Scorpion Kings at the iconic Carnivore grounds—united by a mutual fascination with tattoos and an effortless wit. Mwass shared, “I was like, he is really funny,” hinting at the beginning of meaningful collaboration.
These early connections, though scattered across time and settings, eventually converged into the formation of Mic Cheque. The hosts described their bond as effortless and complementary—Chaxy steering conversations, Mwass infusing humor, and Mariah grounding the tone with sensitivity and insight. It is this balance that continues to underpin the podcast’s appeal. As they put it, the roles “evolved naturally from their interactions in studio and at public events.”
The trio’s chemistry translates into candid, compelling episodes that feel like conversations among old friends. Since its debut, Mic Cheque has steadily expanded its reach, tackling issues from pop culture and music to social commentary, all while growing a dedicated listener base affectionately known as “Cheque Mates." This authentic bond, rooted in shared moments and individual strengths, continues to drive the podcast’s popularity across Kenya and beyond.
Mic Cheque’s rise was not scripted—it was found in laughter backstage, mutual admiration, and the art of being delightfully themselves. Their story reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful collaborations are born outside of boardrooms and in the everyday chances that bring people together.
