Last Sunday at 8PM, millions of Kenyans tuned in to watch The Search on Kiss TV. The contestants took to stage to wow the judges. This is a premier reality show that will work to discover the next generation of musical stars.

The show is currently ongoing and has wowed millions of viewers who are cheering on their favorite contestants.

During the latest episode, Elvis and other contestants graced the screens. Elvis is a gifted singer with a powerful voice. Thanks to his passion and aptitude, he made it through the rigorous selection process of The Search.

“I started singing at a young age of 7 when i joined the church choir, but I didn't take singing seriously until I turned 19”, he says.

The singer hopes to win many Grammys in the future. His inspiration is non-other than “No Kissing Baby” Nigerian star Patoranking.

“He inspires me not only because of the kind of music he does but because of the drive he has...he had such humble beginnings...he even used to sell water at the roadside but he didn't let that hinder him from becoming the man he is today,” he reveals.

The artist has a lot of plans that he would love to achieve in life. Elvis is a true dreamer.

“My dream is to successfully penetrate the African and international music industry with my unique African sound and some day share stages with world renowned musicians like Usher, Chris Brown, Seal...etc and also to win a lot of Grammys,” he says.

On what he plans to do with the 1M shillings that The Search is offering if he wins:

“If I win 1 million shillings, I’ll first go to church and praise God for a whole day, then give my 10% tithe, 60% will be invested back into my music, I.e music production, promotion here in Kenya/East Africa and in Nigeria/West Africa, then 10% goes into my savings account and 20% goes into my branding...i.e fashion, photo shoots...etc,” he concludes.
