 We are here for the amazing launch several heaven music is being launched today or we've seen it garden angel having two amazing young talented artist now maybe for the start for the first time I was seeing you for the first time maybe kindly introduce the song Okay um my name is nizo montana i'm a film director so yes i came here today We are here to support the garden because we have been here for so long To my final project so like even there is a video You know that's your song and I'm a launch kind of Leo Ya Kenasameji and Derek I'm behind that video so as much as it's a kind of studio thing you know kind of document Menting something you know in the studio so behind your project so basically I'm here just to support him because he's doing a really an amazing job and I'm really happy Napenda change appear like the whole You know music label is doing yeah, so Nizo montana is a super director that we all know you've worked with so many celebrities Kina bahati kina nani na song any song that nizo anawa konit nikali. Maybe what helps you to do all that? Basically as I say ma First of all, it's a gift from god and I really appreciate that and thank god always and I think it's more about Like you know creativity I really like being creative in every project and always putting like all my passion in a project or never do a project Like for example projects come as a bahati yama Guardian there's a project we need for guardian we call this one doctor That's the project I think kind of the first project here we did so So basically I like creativity and I like putting my heart out like for an artist to make sure The vision akuna kwa song the lyrics and everything is out like you know To bring out the old vision. Yeah first for me. It's creativity I think I have my own style The way I do like my projects. I think it's more about style Yeah style and you know planning the project And how you want for me. I think the style is more I always look at international standards. So I guess That's the thing. Yeah All right, nezo, uh, you always stand out from the rest Now you've seen an artist coming up with a music a gospel music label seven heavens music label You see in guardian angel. Maybe You being part of this amazing look as a director from your side How do you see this? Where do you sit now? Will this be a game changer in the gospel music industry? Yes, it will be a game changer because I think the main problem we have here in the industry I think in Kenya it's basically the unity people don't do more collaborations people don't work together. They're always Competing in each other. So for me now. I think it was I do Me your collaboration of which I really like what guardian is doing and I really support like say like Our kenyan artists should bring more artists new artists in the industry so that we can have I have one thing like one voice. We can just always focus on building each other because To kifana kazi ni kama kila mtu ako solo solo no one builds Whatever something like that You have to work with someone and you have to bring new talents in the game nasha them. I think that's the best thing Guardian is doing right now, and I really appreciate that and personally as a director I'm going to support the kids. I'm going to at least make sure they have nice videos from my side And yeah, so basically it's a good thing and I'm really happy Yes, just to ask you this Because you've mentioned earlier most of our kenyan artists don't love having a collaboration When it comes to feed posts when it comes to music projects, they don't want to collaborate We've seen now again kenyan music artists They're missing out on these international awards Why are kenyan artists missing out on these prestigious awards happening recently? We saw it in ronda We had no zero awards So, uh, I think first of all we have a very bad system Nani systemilizimai change na systemen yaiko nili ya Tuwe kwa na systemegini mba sana for all the way back no na So, I think first of all system secondly, I think Wasani tu nafa tu kwen na love tu pendane kama nikiyona kama utili na masauti Washa wakwe pamoja wa tuwa fanya kazi iskui nili design ya Onona labda labda upcoming ya meto kia na itaji help yako Uwezi mwa kia vasu because a ko chini Unoz, yae ndota kuji kwa keshom kuba So, you don't know someone's future in tomorrow So the best thing we can do is just help each other I think that's the thing na feeling azataka From map zahidi in afrika or internationally because we really need more international artists from kenya Of course we have some and azataka we need more and more like every artist in kenya should be international And that's what I'm really praying every day and I want like let's just work together Let's do collaboration let's work together as an artist a director let's just have a joint Working relationship enyana zato pileka more place it means I get more awards Yes, and clearly your work is good And people believe that when you expensive summer when it comes to Maybe could direct How much do you charge red card? So Red card, okay You know for me the expansivity of the video in akujana idea if someone has Expansive ideas like they need a crane you need to go to shoot mombasa Maybe for example if we decide to shoot one video in like four locations Maybe to know that shoot a video for example mombasa shoot Nairobi to shoot Nakisumo Those two three locations you need to shoot them on a different days You have to travel that makes the video expensive But to shoot a video in one place maybe let's say an apartment that's a cheap video That's a cheap video and again sometimes Artist wanna feeling in ikama wanna lipa director pesamingi Sometimes see about you in a lipa director pesamingi. It's more about like The creativity and the experience because you can just okay Video level basically I remember the first time I was paid for a video And that that time I deserved that but we've been on this industry to try to put more effort I think when you are paying someone you are paying them because of the experience not because of Because they can do that job within an hour. So you pay them within an hour No, you pay them because of the experience they have in the industry So for me as a sama you get paid according to the experience and the creativity and how you put your work Your package your work and how you talk to a client Yeah, so red card yangu Kilom doko red card kiviake differently Basically, let me say It's not something cheap To shoot a video but Set in expensive but we are Yeah, it's some of the videos they are very affordable and some of the videos they are very expensive But now it depends For me, I think I can't tell you the exact red card It depends with the idea of the video and what the artist want to achieve or maybe what I want him to have Yes So Hard times to personally, I go through hard times a lot Was said Now is that now is that that me me Je bill in a way that I can always switch to hard times I can always handle harsh conditions whenever whatever happens I'm always ready to switch because I feel that flexibility is what makes you More maybe kind of easier to work with and to avoid challenges So kikaila design you're so rigid like you can't change because it's something Maybe for example location maybe one was issued apple You only have one location maybe kwa feel how can you be creative? So me am always prepared for that So challenges But says it's a man in the second house Anna, but I'm always prepared with the plan bees Yes, all right. You need to As a director We haven't seen awards recognizing our own directors. You know, you guys are doing an amazing job We haven't seen you guys being recognized being appreciated I mean by new guys being nominated for those awards How do you feel now when our own industry doesn't appreciate our own? You know creators I think First of all Let me just speak for myself Sijafanya project I've never put my hands on some on a Samuak Aiming for an award because for me I feel like Okay award is in import For me personally, I think like it's good. It's something nice for you being Cognize like you putting it's more for me. I think it's something like You get because of you did so much work. Maybe put sad kind of appreciation of the hard work you've been putting so for me I know I put hard work every day. I know in everything in Afanya Naika hard work So for me, it's only come a word in as I need to find if I'm putting more work and sometimes like What's the nipoa? Nipo personally as a tagokini payawad sayibu rodanda jikua But I can never beg for an award and I can never go See down bribe someone to give me an award because I don't I like recognition But I like something if someone recognizes you for what you're doing real in a real way. That's what I like but see Last question from me now You've done so many hits on songs in Zuri sana, but how does it make you feel you can Not First of all, as I say, my name is Manga sana. Niki skia Tanzanas our our recognized our artists our recognized our directors because For me, I believe Kila Musani Kenya Kila director and our Fanya Kazi every day. What do you want Fanya Kazi? Misa zi sama kuna Musani amelala Naka ma melala, brani kwa muha kia miha mopu kulala But ina ni umasana kite kwanza Na spendi especially kama nchi etu Miziketu ya Kenya li kwa vizuri kitambo Imi kwa kwa mapu for so long Atada amanda kikuja kuitisha pe unitapa Kenya kolabu Kenya li kwa juu But it's just that na feel Niki tumba sana tu kiyongelale wa hibo Nasi kitupua, but we need to do something to change that system So for me I never feel Okay, whenever he has such kind of words from Tanzanians, but we need to pull Okay O Tanzania Okay O Tanzania kitu nafawa juu kwa mbani Industrial Kenya li kwa mbele ya o kitambo Na no juu as sometimes Kutangulia suu kufika pi anona Pi asizi tu neza I industry tu kikipanga vizuri mena juu Tanzania doesn't I stand what we have The problem we have Mi juu umoja Ya kufanya kazi pa moja So kitu naza wambia moja nii Na apreciatisha na nafanya na I'm really proud of every artist in Tanzania Director everyone But we really need to put more work And I think it's something healthy for us It's kind of a competition So we need to put more work for us to be recognized Right Nezo You know as a director you always have your objectives, a mission You know at the end of the year you always have something you want to achieve Is there an artist you feel like now I really deserve to work for this artist To direct a certain artist It can be any South African artist It can be any international artist Ya Kuna usani weki sana Mi na tamansana kwa kuna wao Wako weki sana Okay, let me say for example Like working with Pana Boy, Wizkid Let me just stay in Africa Even in Kenya working with Nyashinski That's something nice because for me Even at the end Let me just know to go outside In Kenya artists when you see Pana kazi nao Like Bien Nyashinski So kuna utu na tamana kazi nao And I feel like kama tunneza Fana kazi pamoja tunza pileka Industry to Mbali sana But this is kama at ways to recognize it Directors say to have a Kenya Pia Pia uko ni same thing ina happen So for me ina feel Let's just work together That's all I can just repeat saying Every day tunna amuka So for me You know Kuna ii unapata like you work Umefanya video yamsani Muika efortu ni nanini video me toka But Kenya na artist atai kumension Atai kumension ata pala YouTube pala Chinasema director ni He will never be proud of you Because he know you Anaku juo like okay na juo nizo So says him andika pana elea But unapata yamsani ana Andika director Wainje So you know So credit sama unapreshit It's good. I really like that But pia appreciate to um Kenyahapa Because if you can bring all that appreciation Here in Kenya U una kisha ata kuamotivated to do your work Asa ni ni Wengi Iza sama disabilities I am committed to Kenya Maahgelika Okay, let me just start back. Magics nimi mejua. Magics nimi mekona aeyo, tumi kula, tukunya strongina aeyo, tumi kula kangumuna aeyo, way back before even fanya it, fanya it songu mingi no na. Mi magics nimi mejua sana kitamba like, I don't know maybe 2014, 2013. So, kitakwanza, you know, is really going, really hate to see him going through hard times right now. And he's my brother, sometimes back when Vokati aliens are, gili on a V2 zi maimu ndia vi baya, nili mukol ni kongiana folu mostanawa, try kumua device kumambia, magics to fanya evi na evi na evi, you know, something like that. So, for me, sezi sama, kuitisha help ni kitumbaya, si kitumbaya, if you need the help, you need the help. Akuna kitakuna mtukunya nia itaji help, even the president needs help from somewhere. So, misi oni ka ni kitumbaya, ni kitupoa, niza itaji, niza wambatu wiki tumoji, wala wasani asa isa idea, vokafanya kazi pa moji, at least kumurushiata 10k. You don't need to give him everything or give him a house, just give him even 10,000 nia je magics nmukutumia yo 10k. I appreciate it because for me, what I believe in, someone especially looki sa idea, I'm say, you don't get the blessings directly. No nata jiranya ka niza kwa mbe nia je, kuna inga mbe hangu, chikua inga mbe hangu, ni kuna nga mbe mingi. That's how you get the blessings. So, niza taka at least kenyan artist, kenyan producers, wakam tu kwa moji asa idea, asa kuru di, because he's a very talented guy. He's one of the producers in Mewaknaya, very talented and niza takapia kumuna, baku kwa industry, witu ziki, faniye. Let's just work together asa idea, personally, indoktu niza takaya. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing, Amidu, because if you don't feel like you're strong, you don't feel it, so it's good to just help. What would be the main reason, maybe, behind this, apart from financial struggles? Personally, sometimes we meet in this... You know, we meet in this... Amidu, pressure here? No, I think sometimes for you to be in that kind... How many families do you compare pressure? Sayze is a many family, because everyone's... We don't have a family or a cause. So, I think there's so much. Personally, sayze is a many... Sayze is a specific what's going on in Kualaifiake, but to niza sayma whatever is going on in Kualaifiake and it has the help we need and we need to render his help, because in anyum asana sometimes you know, but atungu mazaketu na ziskeza, pa inje zime shika zime shika. I love the guy, he's really struggling in a life. You know, it's really bad. We personally, in anyum mangasana kuna, an artist, ama producer kishtrago. Now people don't know all these hit songs, all these places we go, zina zana producer, zina kuja na director, director de naika wasani palia inje visually. So imagine director na producer wana teseka, wasani wa kolandan wana enjoy life. That's really bad. You should make sure producer kosawa, because producer kitoka kwa game, ota fanya nina. Ya, so for me I feel like, let's just help him. Ya, where we can now. Thank you so much for the time I know you're going for. Thank you. Smona tuita kosata, kishutu kishutu. Bro, sumu kama truna mics, bro, tushutu nezi mics here. Thank you so much, all the best.
