Kenyan artiste Vivianne has advised fellow artistes to embrace where they come from and take it as a stepping stone towards their success story in the future.

Speaking exclusively  to Vivianne said there is no shame in coming from a poor background.

'People/ artistes should be honest with where they are and not  feel like they should be loaded for them to be respected.

Most people are always afraid and constantly ask 'If I say I have problems how will people look at me?'

You should not think about that.'

Further adding

'Every one is going through something.

A lot of artistes have come from poor backgrounds.

There is no shame in having a humble beginning, its very unfortunate to lose people due to mental illness.'

Vivianne had in the past opened up on having struggled to an extent of hawking

'I have done a lot of activation’s for companies and supermarkets.

I also sold cutlery on the streets. I did it once and I sold everything that day.

I was working for a company that paid very little commission.

That is one thing that discouraged me otherwise I have always been aggressive.

Adding

'Its difficult, you really have to humble yourself.

I had studied marketing but I had to settle for that job. I decided to try and see what comes out of it.

It’s important to embrace opportunities.'

Fast forward Vivianne has become a household name in the Kenyan entertainment industry. She is known for collabos with other big names such as Redsan, Madtraxx, Mejja among others.
