Born and raised in Kariobangi South in a family of seven, Linet Munyali aka Size 8 beat the odds and became a successful artiste and most sought after artiste in the country.

Immediately I got what I wanted I started slipping into depression. I can never explain it. All that I was a secular artiste I never took alcohol. Naenda kwa bar sina tabu hapo mbele nakunywa pekee yangu, my relationships are not working.I was glowing everywhere but I am not myself. i'm SO UNDER PRESSURE TO perform better than what I used to do or previous performance,' the mother of two said.

Adding,

I didn't have real friends. I started becoming a person I didn't really like and I remembered that happy girl who was in state house girls so bubby and I missed that girl born again girl - Linet Munyali. I Just miss being loved for Linet and not for size 8.
