Aleks M'nkanata, popularly known as Aleckie, is a talented young man from Githongo in Meru county, renowned for his artistic versatility and acrobatic prowess.

Combining his love for painting and drawing with the exciting world of acrobatics, Aleckie has captivated local audiences with his stunning performances.

How did Meru man learn acrobatics?

His journey into acrobatics began in 2015 while at Riiji Primary School, where he was inspired by his deputy headteacher, Kaimenyi, and his cousin, who had a talent for balance.

Aleckie started practising by balancing chairs in empty classrooms, eventually honing his skills to perform at talent shows and festivals.

His abilities flourished during his time at Muthambi Boys High School, where he earned acclaim for his breathtaking feats.

Since then, Aleckie has wowed crowds at events like the Kianja Festival, but despite his growing reputation, he has yet to earn a living from his talent.

In a conversation with TUKO.co.ke, he expressed his hopes of becoming famous and turning his acrobatic abilities into a successful career.

"My only prayer is to become famous so that I can shine. I'm hoping to join other acrobatic groups that will help me accomplish my dreams," Aleckie shared.

At 21 years old, he is determined to pursue his passion, turning it from a hobby into a profession, and is eager to showcase his skills on grand stages around the world.

Is acrobatics paying?

In a separate story, Isaac Kimani Muchiri, also known as Mukorino Acrobat, pursued an electrical and electronics engineering course during his college years.

However, he carved out his livelihood through the world of gymnastics after his debut performance on the day of his graduation, which sparked a profound interest in acrobatics.

He revealed that acrobatics had become his full-time job and was paying him more than he ever made from what he studied in college.
