 If you know me, you know, I like to laugh, I like just being joyful, so apokwe happiness, she already had my heart already from the get-go, just from the title of the song. So we're gonna find about her, who she is, where she's been, what she's doing and what she's planning to do and how we can subscribe and do all those wonderful things on her platforms. I'm not getting my friend, but it's almost Friday, I'm just throwing it out there to the universe. At 254 Facebook, Y254 channel on Twitter, hashtag is Thursday Fives. Kama umat fadatwe wikata jweinsai. Oh my gosh, we've had such a full morning to make wana ento ingina beautiful, na grace maingi, alafu aka kuhav na interesting conversation with an organization called LIFT. We had another interview on entertainment and this is our last interview on that particular segment and of the entire show. Mina skia fiti. I hope to mksadiaku changamka this particular morning as we do each and every other morning. Hashtag Thursday Fives, na itroval by the way, or at Kala Mival. Allow me to allow my guest to introduce herself. Hi. Nkwansha kuchotavu na kafein, thank you. Aki batu na kafein, thank you. Thank you so much. From the nails to the shoe game, like, hey, says your papa. And please introduce yourself to the people. I appreciate it. My name is Jos Kyro. I'm your authentic shuwa, energy and press. There is no music from Jos Kyro that you will not dance to. Yeah, I'm a performing artist, a recording artist and I'm also a director in Maiza entertainment. Yes, born and raised in Kenya. Two, five, four. Hey. That is not very easy being in front of the camera and also working behind the scenes. How do you manage to be a director and a performer? Both experiences are very good because what's life without adventure? You get to experience the behind the scene and seeing people bring out their talents and also being in front of the camera and doing your thing. Yes, I enjoy both experiences. You look like you express yourself very well. You have no problem expressing yourself. No. See, I see by the... just standing in front of the camera and just talking. It's not that it's not as easy as it looks. Trust. So I see people like you doing it. I learn to appreciate. Okay, tell us what you have been doing before this video. Okay, before this video, I've been recording audios. And sometimes you want to listen to the audio that you can start with, introduce yourself to the world with. So I think happiness was good timing because most people don't take happiness seriously by the way. You will have a big goal. You shine a bit towards that goal but you will not even celebrate this small part. It's true. Yes. So for me, happiness is most important. Yes. Why is this? I don't think I've ever heard an artist describe their song like that because it's true. Yes. Nata kaii, alafun kusia fi kapa, nata kaii wengine kujo, misahao kwa give thanks for wengini kwa posaii. Yes. I literally, wow, okay. So let me put it like this. Not every recording artist can perform. Yes. So you must feel some kind of energy when you're performing versus when you're recording. What's the difference if someone wants to get into music and is trying to understand where they fit in? Okay, both experiences are good but once you're recording, there's no audience. You just have your director, your producer. But live performance is different or stage performance is different because you have audience and they will react to how you give them your music. So the reason I do energy music is because I need to entertain. Yes. It is important that people feel... Entertain. Yes. Bible. It is short, it is the same Bible. So you have performed in a couple of universities. How has that been? It's a good experience. It's a good balance to do videos with this kind of music and then to do live performance. It's a good balance for someone. It gives you the adventure. It gives you the experience. By the time you get to five, six songs there is no stage you cannot stand and perform. Hey. Your energy must be up here especially to go to places like universities I love one of them for me. Yes, we do campus tours mostly but when they close we try to keep recording but when they are in school we try to find space to entertain. Nako ka audience nikafiti kus aondiwa na tokaku ko happiness So the ones who want to do things they are not really thinking about job amas tu juhi kazi stressangapi was that intentional? It's intentional. Okay. The music is meant for the young mostly. So it's important that they get entertained and I also want to make it clear that when I was doing that performing stage performing I hadn't even released this song and you can see they were enjoying it. I have done the video. I immediately assumed that you did the video first and then you did the... It was actually so much inspiring to see them cheer me up and I don't even have a video so they would ask me where do we get your music from. I couldn't take more than three, four questions and I was like, let me go for it. Wow. I see you had it with dancers at the back. That's going with backup is important. It's going alone. Me, you know performing pier like I said, not even who can record can perform and I've seen it for myself. But when you add a bit of sauce manna sometimes no na DJ kikuja na emcee because it adds some value. Not that the DJ is not good not that she can't do it on her own but it adds a bit of a kick. We have many dancers we have many dancers in the vibe you're just creating that ambience for us. I don't want to be a hashtag flani but black culture if I'm not wrong what does that mean? Does that have a significance to you? Some of my friends who are also artists they have that black child culture thing and so we support each other so you will call me for a show I'll call you for my show that's how it goes. We support each other we are a team we are a team we are a team Some of them are really supportive We support each other who and where and how I want to but I know how to mind my own but it's a wonderful thing wonderful thing to see So how did you put this video together where did the vision come from because I'm sure it took you How did you end up here It looks wonderful by the way Thank you Those things that we know but mean something to someone I might just come and help a bit and someone else will celebrate it but I really ignore because I don't know how far I've gone to help this person if you get inspired you can celebrate that person also if you feel you've achieved something you can use some few friends and celebrities because what motivates you to become big like this level it is going steps by steps and these steps are the ones I'm saying why not be joyful about it So the setting is you and a couple of people living it up outing and it's just you and your people your close people and you're just having a good time that's what I'm reading from this video Alright You've told me you've been doing music before introducing yourself now with this video Is it true that for an artist and a producer to actually make magic I think it's magic Kuna vengetu lazmam klik you might go to another producer who is not aty bad it's just that they don't really understand you or maybe you don't really understand them So is it the klik the understanding important is that true? The chemistry must be there because how the person correct you if you didn't do the right voice if they don't connect with you you can imagine working with a producer who is just there recording what you just give they will not correct you they will not tell you raise that voice Chemistry is important and also it's fun to work with someone you have chemistry with It takes the work out of work makes it easy Yes So there's a lot more than just being we live in a generation where none of you I assume this is your first ever audio your first ever video usha below mga kwa tv next in the photoshoot next thing to turn up kwa nani akina diamond and whoever it is kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa I want you to help future artists because there's always someone coming up who wants to do what you're doing that it's not an overnight thing just like anything else we have to respect the process how can you speak with someone like that First of all most artists they get into the public if you're doing music and you're getting small or big pay try to invest in your line of music and then after some time the contract is over can you be able to move to the next step as an artist when you are in there receiving the money have some financial management guidance because these people they receive money and the next thing you hear someone is not able to go to the next step because they mismanaged themselves so please also take care because a future is also waiting for you yes it's your wise because there's also that again if you just didn't catch the previous interview I was bringing the fact that May is mental health awareness so at a 2 tuke and 2 apofinances sometimes when you see people on TV when you see them looking a certain way you know what you're doing with yourself but that might lead someone to think maybe either you are in a place you're not to say what I'm trying to phrase it accordingly doe kuji kupe presha kamam tu none of this is just you as an artist but you as a person could be very different maybe at a upendi ku you know you're not very social because you can be social as a brand but in yourself you'd like to keep it to yourself or something like that so doe ever have presha to balance you as a person and you as the brand and if you do how do you get through it okay personally just kairu and the brains behind just kairu they're very supportive of me so if I'm supposed to perform somewhere the people that are behind me my managers, my peers so closely and we sit down in a meeting before we go somewhere it's easy for me when I have a supportive team I think I work easily because the people behind me are very supportive is that something you worked on before introducing yourself as an artist did you make sure? it's taken time because I started writing music when I was when we the Kenya got the COVID period that COVID period was the one that inspired me because most of us were forced to stay home it was over 8 months so 8 months sitting at home you will up your creativity game yeah I like that it had that effect on you for others it kind of led to some type of downhill spiral or some type of depression I'm glad it works the opposite for you okay is it hard being female in this industry? it's not hard it depends on yourself your main goal and it would be sad if your happiness and success are supposed to rely on how people will think about you or how people will react towards you as a lady it's not easy to be a lady in the entertainment industry but I think if you are set your goal is to perform and to entertain and if you have a talent you go for it then I don't think what people say or what people think of you should affect you yeah it feels a bit of the same thing waspende kwenkiliae with my personal thing but if I can relate because it takes a lot of discipline there's a time all media personalities who are female we know what you're doing behind this we don't all have to be doing the same thing friendly it just takes discipline and focus if you know what you want to do and you know how you want to do it he doesn't need to do he's only zeyno sasa he's only avas I really appreciate you coming how can we find you on social media you'll find me on social media as Jos JOS K, Y, R or Cairo on all platforms including YouTube and also you can stream my music in all other platforms I don't know what to say any last remarks and we're doing the whole subscribe and notification thing today imagine like 50 of us just decide right now and then another 50 will watch YouTube like another 100 will come to the streets and perform and then another 50 will watch and it's free subscribe means for free hashtag is there's the vibes any last remarks first of all I think it's important as we view the videos on YouTube for all the artists or the comedians the people we want to support as Kenyan and you view and then you subscribe because subscribing is free like she said it's free and also I'd like to say hi to my family and my team from the managers from the assistant you rock and you support me and I appreciate yeah me kwa patiangu nimeshama liza kusubscribe that is JOSKYRO K Y R O JOSKYRO na urodi ukshato hengine because clearly uko kari buku to sumo this industry is not ready for you is it I'm working on a project I hope by June beginning of June like 7 I'll have another video on all right all the best JOSKYRO thank you for coming and I think we have to call it a day or rather a morning it has no other problem it's just that for some reason it has to end at whitefifon facebook white254channel on twitter white254 underscore channel on the gram hashtag is Thursday Vibes keshondokila kitu keshondokila kitu keshondokila kitu keshondokila kitu keshondokila bye bye
