Olympic swimmer Jason Dunford is now a singer.

The Kenyan Olympian known for his talents in the pool has just released his debut track  dubbed “Mbaya.” Dipping his toes into the music industry for the first time, the athlete once known as “The Kenyan Torpedo” or “The Human Spring,” now adds a new facet to his persona. Dunford now goes under the name “Samaki Mkuu” as far as music is concerned.

The mid-December release sees the Standford University graduate sing about his love woes with Mexican priest turned musician Romantico also known as Edgar Manuel Vargas Gallegos.
