Oh, no, it's all right. It's all right. What about it? We got you. We got you Okay, Sons of the Sun We used to do some gigs before forming the band And then when corona hit it's that time when you're alone and You're starting to think The gigs were fun. Maybe we could do it under our name. Then the name it's just cool Because not the explanation It's somehow offensive to the religious people Sons of the Sun I was looking at it in this direction The Sun is the most powerful being that we can see and touch So whatever we are doing, we borrow it from the Sun Okay, that's a nice twist to it. I like that. Now the last time we checked there were three of you So I don't know how is that going? Just saying I'm going to the studio. What happened? The other guy is my cousin. Yeah, he couldn't make it Yeah, but we are still together. We are still three. Yeah Yeah, no one has quit. Oh, no one has quit. Yeah, but are you looking to expand? They're looking for new members.

What's your style of music because um, you know, this is a rock show You are now into a rock scene This metal with like uh, indy a lot of different sounds in the rock in the rock scene So, how would you describe yours? I think it's more of independent rock Independent, okay. Yeah Oh indy That's why man It's indy. All right. So are you looking to walk with any iris and uh in the scene you just you have an album You're going to be telling us about that but the album just concluded It just came out, right? So did you incorporate any of the Guys from the scene in the album? How are you looking forward to doing that? Uh, it was kind of a solo album But we borrowed a lot from friends who do rock Man, there's a guy called Kiana Ed Here my voice is speaking Yeah, he he helped us and there's a lady called patricia emily. She helped in writing But locally We don't mind working with Any serious band, you know, there are bands and then there are Serious bands. Yeah people people like the writing is good. Oh, yeah The production is good. The lyrics have to be on point. Yeah. Yeah. So production in terms of audio or video Or just everything No, just I think audio is But but if it's low, let's say if it's low quality or We can upgrade when working together. Yeah, there's this guy's from from meru. I think they are called petrica Oh, yes, we've had them before petrica. These guys are so good. Yeah Oh, so you you borrowed something from petrica. No, no, no. Yeah, tell them to find us Wow I know you will reach out to them because they're older than you in the industry, but okay. Yeah, shout out to you petrica I know you're gonna watch this. Uh, hit them up. They have something, you know, hit them up. Anyway, so, um, five fingers That was your EP Before the album. Yeah, imagine, um, that was last december, right when five fingers came out I love who he Moaka and who he Mefka to do these another These are now albums. So how you guys working so fast any EP Those were like five tracks Album in my talk I seven tracks. What's the motivation? Though I like that. So tell us about that. Who's motivating you to do all this There's a lot of work because most people they'll be in the industry for a long time before to album me after five years So, yeah, tell us about that First I have to give it up to He's very hardworking. He does all the writing He even plays guitar, right? Yeah, so I have to give it to him, right? I think You know, even before the five fingers we had already recorded about 12 songs Yeah, maybe two each month or one each month But the more you produce music is the more you realize There's an error in the last song I want to rectify it in the next one Then you find oh my god, there are five songs. So I just Like that and then okay the more I release it's like a learning process I'm an upcoming producer, but I'm dope. Yeah, I'm I'm still learning but These many songs it's just rectifying. Maybe I wrote something silly today. I write something better Oh, so you're learning as you go. So you learn through that and that it's like I'm not competing but I don't want to be at the same place all the time. Right. Yeah. So, um, the The album now it's out. It's tickets to Nairobi. What's the inspiration behind that? It has such a, you know, the name the name is so catchy tickets in there like literally like It's something I hear myself say like so, um, what was the inspiration behind that?
