Mugithi maestro Samidoh has said unlike most men, the woman he is married to was the first woman in his life. The two met while in high school.

Samidoh is a father of two.

Speaking during an interview with Betty Kyallo, Samidoh said

'She (Edith) transferred to the school I was in at form three, at the time I was in form four. We then decide kile itakua ikue.

We later got married and we had not planned that we would get married at the time.

I do not have an ex. I hear people saying getting experience is a good thing but I did not get experience.'

Speaking on what attracted him to Edith ,he said

'I was brought up without a sister and so approaching a woman was not easy.

But when I met her she was easy to talk to.'

Edith said that the one thing that attracted her to him was

'I am very happy, I go to his concerts but not every time. We met in high school,

He is a cartoon in his own way, loving  and very caring.'

On how life was growing up in Nakuru, Samidoh said

'Life was not easy because my dad died when I was young so we were thrown out by our uncles.

With the little cash from my dad's pension my mum bought land in Nyandarua, We were five kids so life was not easy.

Adding

At some point I left school in class 7 for two terms and I started taking care of some one's cows.

I was paid ksh 300 per month.

I did that until a friend to my mum lived in Subukia and she offered to live with me.'
