This is without a doubt one of the biggest things award-winning gospel singer Bahati has done this year. 

From the harsh life in Mathare to owning his own record label is  a major achievement for the "Mama" singer who is now one of the biggest artistes in the country.

Bahati has opened a recording studio in Nairobi's Eastlands to help support upcoming and even established artistes who would love to have their music produced there. He's named it Eastland Most Beloved Records (EMB Records).

I can remember well in early 2013 when I had a dream of Doing a thanksgiving Song to my late Mum and my Plan was to do it in 2015 Maybe; this when I saw my Self becoming a Star and Capable of Paying RKAY Mwanabujaa for a Studio time.

"I remember the Desire I had to work with this Producer & was so happy when my Brother MR SEED got a chance to Record in his studio because 25,000 was too much for Us to pay for studio time. I know he doesn't like this Publicity but I'd like to thank C.E.O CHARLES OTIENO (Standard Group) for making my dream come true connecting me with RKAY who Recorded for me the Song MAMA which introduced me as a National Artist. Just know am forever greatful coz since that day My life has not been same again. And One of the things that have been in my Heart is how God can raise other BAHATI'S from the same Background have grown in POVERTY, LOW SELF ESTEEM,HARDSHIP & LOSE OF HOPE.I know Many are Artists with a Dream of getting the Best Quality Musically/Artistically but not in a Position to Pay this Great Producers Just like my Case was. It has been in my heart that I should Mentor and help Artists who Tomorrow will change the History of where I come from THE GHETTO... THE EASTLANDS...."

"It's My desire that when we talk of EASTLANDS some Years to Come POVERTY should not be the first Image on Our Minds.But Instead TALENT,INNOVATIONS, EMPOWERMENT and Where Stars are Born. And My First Step is Trying to Create the Best that has not Been in the East. Because I was Helped to be the Position I am Today...With the Little that God has Blessed Me with I opted to Start a MUSIC STUDIO that will help me Mentor and Support Artists and Talents from Different parts of this County. I desire to Mentor someone that will achieve Greater things than I have Today. I might not be in a Position to help everyone but I'll be here to make Sure this Production House Gives every Artist the Best Quality with Professionalism No Matter You're an UPRISING ARTIST OR ESTABLISHED  with a Reasonable Studio Fee to help Everyone Achieve their Goals and Dreams. In Respect and Honor of where I Grew Up.... In Respect of the Support and Massive Love you've shown me since the First Day... I have Named it EASTLANDS MOST BELOVED RECORDS Welcome!!!"
