Welcome to our studios. Thank you very much. We are very much appreciated that you came through. So reach out to camera for if I've missed out on something in the intro apart from you being an artist. This is your time to shine. And people back at home to know who you are. Yes. So I go by the name 12 Monter. I'm from Eldoret, home of champions. Eldoret is in Wasingisha County. Wasingisha County. Okay, so you're representing? Yes. Tell us more about your music. It's more of trap. Yeah, trap music. So you're generally doing trap music? Yeah. Okay, tell us more about... So are you focusing, are you cleanly doing trap music? Or are you looking for to vibe to other genre? You know, young people are actually listening to trap music equally. So they're different genres of hip-hop. Yes, yes. What exactly are you doing? So I do, actually I just do trap music. Yeah, I don't do any other thing. It's just trap music. That's my life. That's your life? Yeah, that's my life. Okay, speak about trap music. We have people who think or rather there's a notion that trap music in a content. What do you think about that? Okay, first what I can say about content is those guys were saying that a trap in a content, I think maybe for them they have to find something else. Because actually if you can't find content on something, that means that thing is not made for you. Oh, so you just have to find for something that will suit you. Another genre. Yeah. So you talk about trap being life for you. What has been, what was life before music or what is life with music? Life before music firstly what I can say is I didn't know I can be here. I didn't know I can be a musician. Yeah, because you know when I was young I was like, you know when everyone is young there is that dream. When you want to grow up you want to be a pilot or something. So for me I had a dream of becoming a pilot first. And then as DJs come say at some place I became a DJ at the first. Okay. Yeah, I started as a DJ. DJs who hold up, what was your street name? My street name they used to call me DJ Python. DJ Python? Yeah, I was still young by then. I was in Fomon. Oh, okay. Yeah, but I started as a DJ. I had a laptop. I used to use some app it was called Virtual DJ. So I think I started that way. Until one day as I was a DJ I started doing a MC. So I'm DJing. You're still the MC. And I'm still the MC. And that's how my journey has been through until I found myself into hip-hop. So as I was a DJ I used to do hip-hop. I used to DJ mostly hip-hop songs. And that's how I think I myself got into trap. Did you adjust? When did you start your... You started back in school? Just a little bit. I started back in school. How many years? We are getting it. We are getting it. So you started back in school? Yeah, we don't know your age. You're trying to get it. Just happy you are miyaka. To my lady, me nimze. So tell me about in your musical videos. In terms of your songs. First of all, even before you get into the aspect of videos. How do you get to write your music? Are you a writer in terms of being a storyteller while before you actually get to the studio? Or are you the kind of person who gets to the studio and just hype to the beats of a producer? Okay. First, what I can say is... Do you think about the story you want to tell before you actually write your music? No, I don't. Actually, first of all, I always write my music using my phone. So anytime I go, I come through any beat and I feel the vibe, I'm just there typing. So it just flows. So I don't have the time of thinking, what should I write? It's not a poem, I'm writing a composition or something. I'm writing something that's coming out for me. It's something I'm expressing myself. I love writing about lifestyle, mostly. Because for me, I'm into... I was about to ask if whatever you speak of in your music is it your real life? Yeah, that's my real life. So you live a lavish life the way you state on your single. Yeah, sure. So that's your lifestyle? Yeah, that's my lifestyle. That's a monta from Monday to Monday? Yeah, that's me. How old are you again? I'm 20. Okay. So tell me about the inspiration of... I'm the J. I'm a J. At first, it started out from... Okay, you know, I started seeing... I'm the realist. I think in Africa, I think I can say... I haven't blown up yet, but according to me, I always do my music. I see I'm doing my own shit. Yeah, there's no doing shit like I do. Okay, so what do you mean? You know it's a very morning show and you actually use it. Okay, sorry, sorry. What I'm trying to say is... Okay, I do Amaji. What inspired me to write Amaji? It's because at first I thought like... Amaji, like Amaji. I'm a real J. Yeah, I'm a J, man. No one can tell me anything to do. So I'm a J. So what should your target audience... What should they look forward to in terms of your music? Are you going to speak about just the lifestyle that you want or the lifestyle that you're living? That's just it. Okay, about my music, mostly I do write about the lifestyle I want and the lifestyle that I live. Okay. So tell me about the new single that we're here to... So like guys know that you'll release known as Paf Paf Pass. Uh-huh. And Trap has also been involved in all about drugs and everything. I don't know what your perception is and you can equally dive into that. So tell us more about Paf Paf Pass. Paf Paf Pass naturally personally? Okay, yeah. Okay, Paf Paf Pass actually. When I wrote down the song, my target audience was actually overseas. Oh, you target overseas? Yes, overseas. Because in Kenya there are some things they don't allow. Okay, so how... Your target market is overseas? Overseas, yeah. That's my target market actually. Do you think you should let people back... we should access people back at home fast before you take the bus? Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm doing right currently. That's what I'm doing. Okay, so but Paf Paf Pass is basically for the market? For the market, yeah. Because in Kenya actually, you know, they don't allow something like Kosh and stuff. So actually Paf Paf Pass I did write it because of those things, yeah. Kosh and yeah. That's still my lifestyle now. Okay, so let's talk about the producer behind it because the beats are amazing for this song. Yes, yes. Who is the producer behind the creating of the beats? The producer who did create for me who produced for me Paf Paf Pass is a producer from China. His name is Benny Hanna Boy. Okay. Yes. So you bought your beats online? Yes, yes. That's what I do. All of your... All of my beats I do get them online but for my first music, Amaji, some of my nigger from Rungai, yeah, did that. Yeah, I looked out your Instagram account and there's a time we were mentioning about an irritating experience with the producer when it comes to music. Oh, yes, yes. Okay, I've also had challenges because okay, you can walk to some producers and then they start underwriting someone because maybe you're an upcoming artist. Yeah, and then the fact is that I'm doing hip-hop. I'm not doing gospel and I'm not doing any... these Kenyan music songs, they're Kenyan hip-hop, you see. What do you mean by Kenyan hip-hop? Kenyan hip-hop, you know, these are... these new wave of people like Ethic. You mean Shrapia? So for me I don't do like that. So when you go to a producer he's expecting you to do something like... but me I'm here to do my hip-hop. So maybe the producer isn't interested but he doesn't want to tell you. Okay. So instead someone just wants money and disappears. Oh, do you have any other new projects coming up apart from this one that you were speaking of? Yes, I'm actually working on a new music by the name Bad Thing. I was actually thinking of doing a... Bad Thing. Bad Thing. Bad Thing. Do the Bad Thing. Oh, do the Bad Thing? Yeah, I think I'll be dropping it before the end of this month. Yeah, I'm also thinking of working with calligraph very soon. Oh, alright. Yes. So you've reached out to him and all the... I'm still working on that. No, you're still working on that. Yeah, I'm still working on that. So apart from any... apart from music, are you in school because you're very young? No. I just do music. Yeah, I focus in music. Do you have a support system that actually ensures that Tugmont is focused in doing his thing when he comes to trap music? What do you mean by a... Like a support system because when in music you can just be a music learner of the marketing. The marketers. Actually, I don't market myself on YouTube. There are those platforms which you pay them. So that's what I use. Actually, right now I have only one manager by the name Victor. Yeah, that's the support system now. So that's the only person who has supported me and maybe my mama. And your mother... Yeah, my mother actually. And what does she think about the videos in your music? She believes in my dreams. She believes in my dreams. That's the strongest thing, I think. And that's the happiest thing, I think. Actually, when a musician for me I can get it. And she equally invests in your music? She actually invests in my music. Okay, there you have it, Tugmont. And before we actually play his music I'll give you this particular time to introduce the song. Remember, you can find us at Y244 channel across our social media platform.
