Producer Mark Okoth - He is the producer behind various hits like Kata, Ruracio, Gengetone Love, and many other songs. When he passed on, rap crew Matata official took to their Instagram page to announce his demise.

"It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden death of our producer Mark Mick Okoth aka PINK. He was the producer behind Kata, Ruracio, Gengetone Love, gwash/kanali Haitaki Hasira, Luchi star Rivas and many other songs.

Our hearts ache 🥺😢as we try to come to terms with his sudden demise. A kind voice which was just a phone call away. A fellow creative who had so much dreams and ambitions. A brother who believed in our craft long before anyone else did and he trusted in our vision. Goodbyes hurt the most when the story was not finished 🥺☹️😢 just when you were in the process of acquiring fruits of your labor you have left us this hurt so much and we know your family is hurting even more

There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts Thanks for the memories 🤍🌹🕊."
