As we all know being an artist in Kenya is not easy. What are some of his biggest challenges?
"As Khaligraph said in one of his songs,kukua msanii ni Kenya ni kujitolea...weuh it's not easy!
Over expectations from fans, friends, and family.
Exploring your target audience can also be challenging; You can release a song with high expectations but the response might not be what you expected."
He further added that some songs blow when the artist lists expects it.
"People create songs that hit the airwaves later in life such as the famous "mzabibu" & "go pato" but I'm not saying this should be your indicator for success."
Other challenges include
"Making sales and having sold-out shows.
Sometimes, keeping up with art is two-edged, an advanced level, and a practicing level. Trends in the industry can easily take you back to the practicing level."
Who are his best Kenyan artists and what is he currently listening to?
"Prince indah & Samido are my best artists.
I listen to Kelechi africana,Sauti sol,Nyashinski,V-Be, B classic,Madini Classic, Vickyoung,Danlee, and Kamtu flani mostly."
His advice to anyone looking forward to doing music?
"Don't let anyone tell you, you can not do it! GO FOR IT."
