Music is no longer a hobby but a professional career. Unlike the past when people would do music for fun, talented women and men across the globe have taken music seriously and that's what puts bread on their tables. We have seen many buy posh homes and drive expensive machines, enough proof that indeed music pays.

From East Africa to West Africa, we are really proud our artistes for the good work they are doing for Mama Africa. This year, many local musicians seem to be very busy in the studio working on new hits and Kenya's richest female singer Esther Akothee is one of them.

The hardworking woman has "given birth" not in the real sense; she has just released a new song titled "Sweet Love" featuring Tanzania's finest Diamond Platnumz which was shot in South Africa by Godfather productions. The song will be launched officially on Friday.

Being the first Kenyan ever to do a collabo with Diamond, Akothee told Mpasho on phone that she hopes her fans are going to like the song and continue supporting her more than last year.
