Life and career

Tamrat Desta was born in Bishaan Gurraacha near Shashamane, Ethiopia in 1978.[1] He was the second of three children, all boys. After some years in Tiqur Wuha, his family moved to Shashemene and later went to Awassa, where Tamrat completed high school.

In 1998, Tamrat moved to Dire Dawa to live with his guardian; while there, he began to perform as a singer.

In 1999, Tamrat relocated to Addis Ababa to pursue his music career. He released his debut album, Anleyaym in 2004. Most of the lyrics on this CD were written by Habtamu Bogale, and the melodies of six tracks were composed by himself.[2] Tamrat released his sophomore album Kanchi Aybeltm in 2008, with reaching major achievements. In 2014, Tamrat released an album called Keza Sefer.
