Hello ma'am, karei buta na sano kali, I love your entire outfit. I already said it off camera, but the boots, we can talk in your match. This is my lawyer, he can negotiate on my behalf. Buta niyo na kando. So I'm telling you my sense. Karei buta na you look very lovely, karei buta no kali. Thank you, thank you. Please, by all means, without shortlisting anything and second guessing anything, introduce yourself, Miss Kay. Hi everyone, of course, welcome to Tano Kali. My name is Helena Kay, I'm a singer-songwriter. I'm a lover of music and love of life and I'm a doctor. A doctor or a doctor? A doctor. Oh, okay ma'am. Okay, let's just start there. Let me just... Tell me, tell me when medicine and music met and we had you. I really don't. I think I just love both of them equally. Maybe one is a passion, one is more of a practice. But I love both equally because I practice and I sing. What kind of medicine do you practice? I'm actually a pharmacist. Ah, wow. So in short, if I need anything, I just... Is it critical on the queen of medicine? As long as you're a kulebia. No. Yeah, a lot of people... I don't know what to say when I do this idea. Yeah, a lot of people work with your pharmacist. They're like, okay, so out of plug-on... So one of the magazines is Quick Conductor. Quick Conductor. So you guys consider the zoom, singizi and fortea. You see? No. That was too fast. Too fast. But it's okay. Yeah, but I know it happened. I don't know what to say in voice too. Once in a while. You got it covered for both of us. I'm moved. All right, so yes, now that we went straight into it. I'd like to know, so I understand from your... You say that you learn music. I believe music is a passion of the practice. Yes. Yes, I believe you've come from a music, a music called background. What was that, like your parents, your grandparents who in your family practice music and to what extent? Was it professional? Or kani sani, ama nyumbani, wa piapo? Yeah, of course kani sani. My mum was... My mum and dad both were Sunday school teachers. My mum was a choir mistress. In her young years, and I said, Manga Kiyom's channel, she used to sing a lot. So of course, they nurtured me a lot. I joined a primary school. I was always in choir. I was always in kwaia. So it was always like that. So the nurturing came from the family. But again, everyone in my family can sing. Maybe I'm just the courageous one who decided to sing professionally. Yeah, but it's in the family. Yeah. Okay, and then... So you're producing it from your childhood. Then fast forward you find yourself in high school, your teenager, your match grown. Kuna opportunities kuhimba maybe in school. Did you ever practice in school? Or it's something that came much later? Of course, in school, I used to do a lot of... You see those entertainments. I used to perform. But it was low budget. I used to do a lot of that. I remember I went to the camp. I did one. I asked for it. I hope it's okay. I asked for it. Why? It's okay. Well, a few of my friends took those videos and I requested was a takedown. But the will was there. The courage was there. You didn't know how to go about it. But I was always there. Kukiwa na... You see the modeling. What were they called? Cultural day. Cultural day. I always used to perform. So sorry. That's really cool. Yeah. So it was always like that. Covers. But I never got to do YouTube. But I have a lot of covers. Zenye nili waifanya. I know. I am not even proud. But again, that is how it started. Yeah. So anyway. Long story short, I started doing it professionally. Yeah. That's actually my next thing. So at one point now, they did now completely become on a professional level. When it's up to you. He stopped just entertaining people within your premises. I want to make money out of this. I want to reach out to people through the kind of music I write and create. Yeah. Of course. The first time I went, I decided I want to go to studios. Okay. Anyway. These things you just start kimangoto. I don't know how to put it. It's just like, okay, I need to start. If I don't start now, I'll never start. Because it's something I always wanted to do. Of course, I went to studio. Nili kwa naile. Vibe to pole pole. And then I started learning new styles of music. So nika diverse kidogo. But I was always that person Benzol type. See what happens when you're on my side. You see what happens? Yes. Next time, I'll make a ceremony All I'm saying is that when you say on this side things are lying well. The universe is on our side. Good things happen. Good people. Just in case you're floating head to head today was between Vi and Benzol. So can be a socialist when they're hosting you on. You can see our guest today Helen K is on Benzol side. The cool side of life. All right. And then what are some of your inspirations at that point when you're starting out? Also in addition to that I want to know what was your first studio experience like finding a producer, finding someone to tell you how these beats are made. You were like nimandika sasa make this dream come to life. So it was very awkward. I had like nimandika a lot of songs. I wouldn't have confidence you don't even know if it's you don't even know what you're doing really. You just know you can sing. So I reached out to a lot of producers. But the producer who got back to me was Alexis on the beat. So I booked a session with him. Went to the studio. Let me tell you nearly so it. Kibibi sasa. That was my longest session since I ever started. Nizuna kwa charge pa hour? Not really. I think but I I it was really tough. I didn't know if I was doing the right thing. I kept looking your a new artist you don't expect to be working with someone like that. So unangale atu nime ko se. So you just do something and just sing. In fact ali toka tu and then you was like just sing. Relax and do your thing. And that's how I recorded Leo. That was my first project. But honestly it was so hard to to be in a new environment and do something that you've you know you've always imagined but you've never actualized it. I love you. You know you don't want to mess up your first project but it ended up sound very nice. So at that point who are some of your inspirations when you are now deciding and pursuing this professionally. So for me I always looked up to see her. Internationally. Even if we can't see her. Ya. So I love her. I love her music. Her vocals. Ya okay get that. Ya I know my producer was like I see what you got. Hone I was waiting. Okay so. Alright. So Sia Ya she's her vocals are on point. Her writing skills are on point. Because I love quality music. Ya it's not just you don't have to do music for the fame part of it. You need to do timeless music. Ya niski za muziki ya ko. Oh. Una jami ni baby ganezan za kumgai. It's a crumpling on stage. Ya so Sia Alain and I don't know I can't even exhaust them but I was willing to say I used to listen to and then kuna zile bongo zenya tuliko. You know when you grew up ulikuna siki za bongo kwa radio. Ya know those days sanna ni wana jo ni this show wana siki za. You know when radio used to be radio. Ya. Ya that's that's how I'm usually something it's day I'm going to yote hizosku niki siki za ngezo bongo ibo. Hizyo aneza kumam sani nani kandika angoma. No it's such a twist. Really? That's good. No. Hizongoma zi gena pahani. Maybe I'll be a ribo. And maybe I'll collab with them. No. No just in the head I still be a kid. Ya. So that was it by the way I need to look I come from Mahali kushago. So we used to go kuchunga gompe. So to look up to nask kiza radio tikiwa wukwa nani. Takatus kumo jango wukwa radio na. Ya. I think inspiration to me search places very weird places but good places. Ya. Okay. So let me ask so far have you had your music played on any radio station so far? And what are some what's the one place that you dream of having your music played? I've heard my music being played. Okay currently at least in me pata good air play initially nikianzana okay leo actually didn't get even one air play. Oh yo. Hey hey hey hey. Okay okay. Sorry. Sawa. Back then my bad back then when you released leo your time you're not even sure kabisa kama waka kekele angoma bad dota wuna iskizu wuko wuna ugopa then but from her baby moving forward it has been very good initially the feeling was good kwa tunda adina skiza tunikwa hyped up okay the feeling never goes or you always feel good and maybe the place I'd love to hear my music being played or okay me performing is maybe at like perform in a met gala awad. Wow. The rich side that we don't get to see after the red carpet the other side that we don't see we know more people. This is other side. Maybe kujia minia. Amen as it should be. Yeah but that's the kind of place I'd love to or say it's not more of the festival the kochela or the elegan charity events actually I'm more of I'm more of a person who like play and sing so of course that's a very good vibe for that type of music okay um dream collab as we refer to your dream collab someone you hope even if they're watching right now get to see this video that you want to for collaborate with them Kenyan and international alright even if it's a Kenyan who's international but like Kenyan then okay so Kenyan bien Ben ame many new up no let's see what I can do I'll talk
