Who is this guy? Let me tell you a backstory Do you guys remember Despa, Sitobai, Justin Bieber, right? That is, they did a remix That garnered millions of views Na ilikua in vernacular, in Kimeru And it was sounding so good And I am sure you've... Una kumbuka sasa, sindio? You've remembered, now this is Jay Sol And just the other day you've done A collab with Nadia Mukami, how was that? How did you guys get to meet? We met at a concert Organized by Bezieto Bezieto, they do pool tournaments All over the country, nationwide So we met Nadia there We approached her with my management Kena Keifa and Madam Fever And we came up to an agreement I think it was the vibe We just vibed and decided Yo, let's do something So a week later, a month later Studio Came up with the audio there To provide, to provide, to provide And Ma Penzi was born Right now we're going to maybe Is it 600k? 600k views on YouTube Go watch, share and subscribe How does that make you feel just to have... I mean, I know the Despa, Sitobai remix Was millions, ya But how does that make you feel just to have Now a song of your own That is actually just garnering such views It has been overwhelming first But I had a feeling about this song When I did it You know you always have that feeling When you do a masterpiece So I felt this, a masterpiece And it's going to hit the airwaves And it's still going on It is In case someone has not heard that song Please give us an acapella, guys Jay Sol akona vocals out of this world Please just give us an acapella Do go through ya, Korra I know akoni pebure Mungine po razaidi ya Kor sijapata mimi No Nime tembe nme fika mui sho Sijapata mwingine Halina maliw nipende mi Nakaman nike siya chana iwe Borau kini bumili ami Na imani tuta fika we I'm telling you, that is an amazing song guys, if not watch that song you need to head over to Jay Sol's YouTube channel and make sure you watch that song. Now, Jay Sol, during your birthday, as we were celebrating just a few hours ago, Nadia said that when you approached her with a song, Alikwambe heiwezi. At that moment, how did that make you feel? Because I'm sure that was your masterpiece. How did that make you feel now leech kulia aji? I'm always open to ideas and I'm a very easy person to work with. So I didn't at first have a definite song that I was going to do. I had ideas of different songs and different, what do I call them, vibes. So we played each vibe and she decided, yo let's do this one. Actually the song that Vaswanima Penzi, Alikwambe heiwezi song nime pita. I was just going through my songs and then I got scared. She had the verse and she said, this is the song you're doing. So we decided, yo let's start. And how was the experience? Nadia is talented. Did you have any pressure just having this collab with her? I mean as much as I mean you have the vocals as well but how was that experience? At first it was a bit tricky because I had not worked with her before. So you know there was that ish ish like how is she going to handle this. But because to make one meet up, several times to meet different places, I think it will flow to when there is a vibe you can't force it. If it's there, it's there. If it's not there, you can't force it. So she was like, yo we singing good. And she took her time to do the second verse because she loved the vibe and we vibed in it. Okay, just before we come back to why we are here today, just the other day you bought your manager Kafa Aka. Hey Jay Sol, me ni kwa panashindotu, ni mziki, ama kuna biesha razingine maulu na tuapesa Jay Sol? Mziki nalipa. Nalipa? Saana usi danganyu kenamutu. Mziki lakini through music you get other opportunities. And through those opportunities you come back and grow your music. Music has made me sit on tables with mighty people. It has given me opportunities that I had always been dreaming of maybe, or have never even dreamt of. So I would say my music career has given me open doors for me. It has given me chances that you know. Now talking of opportunities, you guys decided to open this studio in Meru. It's more of like a record label to be honest. Why Meru? Meru has been our home for a long time. And we also want a place we can say monopolize. Because business is about monopolizing and standing out. So in Meru it's easier to stand out and monopolize than anywhere else in the country, especially in Nairobi there is a lot of competition and you know what, we are just a growing company. And it has been my dream actually to work here and live here and grow this town. Because this is my hometown. I need to grow my people, I need to show them this is how we do it. Because it has been tough for us. Long, long, some years back industrially kwaime isha. And there was nothing going on here. Keifa can attest to that. My manager, there was nothing going on until he came to this town. He's not from around by then. But he coulda na focus and he coulda na purpose. And now we're here. Now we're here. That is so good to hear. The credit talents that you know bringing in in this studio are ma muna pangaji. We have someone in mind. He's a fellow artist that we've been working with. I would never even thought that Takuja Sasandiyonam sign. But yo, we're here. We're not going to disclose the name yet. But when we are ready, we'll let you guys know. And I hope that all Kenyans out there are going to receive him. And receive us as what a nashati classic. Tohone tuvenetu nasonga. There's always an advantage and a disadvantage for everything, you know? Nezataka kujiwa, just been in Meru and doing music from Meru. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages as well? Okay, I'll start with the disadvantages. I'll say Meru people like my clan, my people from here, pushing the music and supporting is really hard. They are so adamant in that. I don't know why for years it has been like that. It's not even about artists only. When content creators from Meru like, they detach themselves from the society because there's not much support. We support their own. We support their own. Even when you come up with shows themed with those languages, people flock. Apokijaribu leta shoya kimeru. Ta piga shopa kiaako. Are we not proud of our own ama? I really don't know. Maybe it's about culture. Because there's not so much music culture in Meru. When you come to maybe Ukiuliza, Uliiza, miata nilkuna Uliiza, my grandma the other day, kukuna culture flania wa Meru alko akimba kitambo ama, you know, like Kisi, they sing, they have that culture yakuimba. Every event they sing is oma diskomatanga. But for Meru is different. So, tumekwatu ki push for a while and I think Saizi in a sink pole pole. Right now people can come out for an event like the other time Ruga was here. Kulija. Kuna taimata Ruga nge kuja Meru, I swaya. Ten people watching him. But right now people are buying their ideas, they are seeing what we are doing. And it makes me feel good and proud that I am part of a change, a very big change. Because the industry is a million dollar business. Music industry, what women can buy and business people are coming in. That has been our biggest agenda. I mean Bahati has just promised to do a collab with you. That's a big deal because I mean Bahati is a big artist. How does that make you feel? I don't know, next feelings. But most importantly, I'm honored that he came even to my event. It's a big honor, it's not something to take for granted that Alikuja ku grace eventi hangu and he promised to collab with her. Let's hope that it's going to go through. I think it's going to achieve God but Bahati is a big artist. He's an artist I would say I look up to. In many aspects. Being the fact that I'm a push and I feel fresh all the way I talk all the way from gospel to saizi. I'm really glad that he came today. To Kimalizia J.S.Roll You know umekuna pegashobis lately? To Kimalizia J.S.Roll You know umekuna pegashobis Have you been a good student of a rikomondi where he has been saying I'm a push to go all the way? I'm a what's up? It's a challenge I got. I think I sank into a very bad place after I did Despacito because he could lose hope. I felt I'm not getting the support that I should be. My people should be pushing me out there but it can't disappoint. So I think I came into the industry with a lot of expectations and people always say lower Lower your expectations. So with the guidance here Keifa I think kuna pointilifika tani kama mbimi ena kwitunziki. Keifa my producer I made it kani ambiwa, kani kalisha chiniwa kani ambiwa you are joking man. Let's do this. Let's do this. And I think after we released the first song What do you call it? There was this album launch that we did Keifa Line Organizer Album Launch Khali tukafanya somewhere in Meru Ikanipatia Hope When I did more songs in Anipatia Psych the more you push yourself, the more you keep going.
