just okay I'm bare I'm a vocalist and also a pianist vocalist and pianist all right cool and then we have my name is Muya Mutuku right and I am the lead guitarist and I play many instruments so that's the guitar the piano the drums all right you can name it yeah I told you guys they are so talented all right so I want to know tell us about the name of the group the next big thing is that like a random thing you're just in a session so you know practice and then you're like you know what guys we are the next big thing how did that come about the name the name started in high school back in high school it was first made by Ian here and yeah we took it seriously and it became a band yeah that's the name of the group the next big thing the next big thing and I actually believe you guys are the next big thing right so how did you guys meet most of us met in school I met the saxophonist in primary I met Ian in high school this one is my longtime childhood friend right and I met Mutuku through music as well through music so do you have like a common place you guys are like will go jam and then you met Mutuku I might just like random at a studio how did that happen it was actually a random place because at the time we were still in school then when we finished we became a serious thing and now this is where we are this is where you are so how long ago was that make wire a band for how long and how many are you did you have like some members who left are you still recruiting the band has been there for like two years and we are five in total and they are we're not recruiting we are we already full you're full okay so many and that's it it's a wrap all right but you know do our band ones I'll talk you are wengie and then along the way what you want to talk about so in that you know but that's so amazing so this song you performed for us is that like your own composition Amar tell us about that yeah it's a song we wrote back in 2018 and uh yeah it's our own composition I wrote it with Ian then we incorporated the rest of the instruments and now it's a yeah it's a nice song all right when I'm gone oh when I'm gone so is it like a sad song for that time like for any event it's like a certain love song but in a way it's like you're telling the chick even if I'm gone you can still reach out to me not the death kind of going oh cool now I get it all right so I also want to know you mentioned that you know images are you're the one you two wrote it so are you the two main writers of the group Amar anyone can write and where do you find inspiration for your music in our band anyone can write we actually we are you instrumentalists we are lyricists and we are also vocalists so also the other guys playing the instruments can sing and yeah we first wrote the song Ian and I but as we progress the album that you're going to release soon everyone's written a certain part of it yeah so it's a good song it's called when I'm gone it's about love and all that stuff yeah all right that's really nice I like that so I know you guitarist how did that happen for you like did you know like you that's what you wanted to do back then Amar did you just happen by chance you're like oh this is my friend I think I can do that too then you started practicing how many happen as a guitar or music music and guitar you're like a guitarist so I'm playing guitar and even just music is this something you really just wanted to do so music actually I started way back when I was eight years so I started as a rapper then some years like five years later that's when I started singing and then back in 2015 that's when I met Alex and we became a thing through Alex I met Ian so thank you so much they became a thing anyway and for the saxophone I think like this is it hard to play or even practice how long did it take you to learn that I'm still learning I'm still learning okay I assume you're asking when when I started yes exactly that was back in 2016 in high school but before that I used to play the flute it's a small instrument but quite similar to the sax so yeah I started in 2016 then I decided to graduate to a big instrument oh nice so the the more you advance the more you but we like that because this is I feel I feel like this is harder to play than a guitar even lining like if I was to practice I would know how to play a guitar faster than this one right actually no it's just because it looks complex but I promise you it's it's not it's not as hard you know when you're playing it can you just do something for us in the to do something do something just 10 seconds anything anything yeah yeah just play anything okay yeah for us it's him it's him it's actually him it's actually him all right so now let's find out now corona has been hard was there on everyone like how have you guys been handling that do you before corona did you have any events did corona affect that how you guys like holding it up like this remaining sin how you doing that well before before corona I used to do my own thing but now I can say before as like just before corona that is when now we became one with a group and we've not been able to go for any events but we are planning on having great events ahead because we also play we also have projects that we need to do and it's been hard for everyone basically as I can say but as we continue moving forward I still believe that God is with us and everybody is good so yeah yeah yes I keep telling people health is the most important like wealth like they say health is wealth so as long as you're healthy you got this we live to fight another day and I tell you again our vocalist of the group and he's tall like me myself I always think I'm tall but then looking at him I'm like okay so okay so as long as you know how to sing like you're good so just tell them do you keep practicing for vocals to get better as long as we do and got to clean but that's it you're set okay so it's not everything needs practice in order to be perfect you need practice so there's nothing like if you have this talent you cannot keep on practicing on it so every day either it's with my my fellow band members or alone I do practice on myself so that you can better vocals because they are different vocal ranges you to see yeah that's true so how many times a week do you practice or monthly how many times a month okay with our band it's twice a week but I personally it's daily every single day yeah you know like passion is everything like imagine you're not going to go to a room and a buffoon and a copie car you're just there practicing you have to get better anyway I also want to know from the lead vocalist before we wrap it up because because of time I think I also want to know like um when it comes to vocals let's say more players maybe you're performing in front of the audience how do you hold it down together because you know I'm lead lead vocalist how do you uh how do you make sure that you are hindered with your group do I'm Mr. Kiki happens we so if we make it to Chinyamadze you know do it okay on your shelf live and then people what to let him out of nowhere like if somebody plays the guitar wrong and then he may come to us here so see you practice like two hours before to and if mistakes happen we still move along all right so what next for the group like you have like a song coming up are you working on new material where are you right now we have an album that's about to be launched in the next few months it's called humble beginnings and for the meantime wait just sorry about that that's going to be your first album as a group yeah that's our first album as a group it's called humble beginnings we have already written 13 songs and uh we are supposed to like add two more songs so that it can reach 15 and for the meantime we're also doing covers and uh we are we want to like start going on events yeah events are very important by the way so are you are you ready are you ready for that what's the most exciting thing by the way above being a singer and being in a bind what's the most exciting thing about that about music yeah being in a bind and just like being a singer you know career mingi who i'm too maili engineer when in musician and what's the coolest thing about that for you that is when i sing and see people react in a way that others cry others others fall in love others others others have a lot of reactions i just like their response how i touch people's hearts yeah that's deep all right i like that anyway so um as we wind up i want to you guys to remind people your social media if there's maybe you can i'm saying maimba aka bambika sana and he wants to get in touch with you how do they do that uh we are on youtube we are called the

you can actually find them all together so we have a song but you guys are going to be playing it uh right now but before we do do you have any last remarks any shoutouts anything you want to say before we call it uh where we've reached so far we'd like to thank the next big thing team that involves our families our friends our loved ones our close friends we we also thank kbc for also for also giving us this opportunity why two five four and uh we also thank god because if it weren't for god things things happen for a reason i met these people and we became a band and we have a future together and i'm happy about that i also give those remarks to like everyone i love and uh yeah and uh if you're doing music if first do it for passion don't do it for money because at first you'll not get anything at first because of money people just think you're doing it for for like for fun or for clout and later on money will come but you should also remember these are your brothers like for me these are my brothers i know them on a different level we've grown together i love them as as if they are my own family and uh that prevents like fights in the future so yeah you should you should have close people when you're climbing the ladder of success so if you're planning on starting a band there's are some nice pointers right there make sure you know people personally don't just
