Okay, I know you're under management, but are you signed? Your manager is a very good friend of mine, Joy. I know he's a student. I wish I had to him. So, how did that come about? We're not sure. But you're the one who's under management. I know him from a very different... He's a very good friend. He's under management. So, how did that come about? Well, me, I was signed and I'm in. I pay myself, my music bills, but I needed someone who can hold my hand. Because one of the staff has told me that he was in California wana hitajim tu mingine and I think maybe nita kuja kongezawatu under my management but for now Joe is the one and the way we met Joe is my family you know he's my family he's a family member so he's not my reiri brother but he's in my family in the sako so I know him very well I trust him because I know he knows me when I was small yes so I say when I do I want you to do this he's going to do it perfectly as I want so that's how we work we are good we love that we love to see that we love that we love that we love growth what's your plan how is that coming? well it's really good but I want to say this for the artist and producers there's a lot of challenges there in productions sometimes you want something and you tell somebody I want this but at the end of the day I don't know especially in the video video is some disappointments but well and good for the fans who are up to now when I come back they like my music they like your music, they like your sound but I know there's something I want to add them so everyday you learn your style is a little bit different compared to okay I don't want to say it's not Rumba really and it's not like Afropop so how would you define that it's a little bit different compared to what everybody else is doing it's R&B and soul music I just mix R&B and soul music so how did you settle on that because we are working differently we have our own sound what you want to do and you settle on that you know what you want to say we cannot just look the same let me kill them and that is how I want it I want to be unique I want to bring something because my music is music when I perform live and I believe I want to start performing live because I believe in band I play guitar oh you are guitarist I play guitar I just want to give live music sometimes I feel so bad when some people are saying tanzanime tu pita tanzanime piga muziki they should know that Kenya has great musicians we have best artists in eveni tu labdawao how to aminia, how to party so what do you think is the problem muna Kenyei na wasanina wasongi muna na danini nina panya tfiki mani tu na fakufika kimzik the biggest problem is that everyone is thinking that wasania wakena atasi wasania wakena I think you know mentality misani akuna pesa whatever you want to do so long as untajari buku include kuna say wataku understand wasewakua karibu kama akuna doa mahauna the day you have money they will understand you but most of the time how wataku anata kukufa amo anata kuku engage kwa gigs ako kwa kazi zako they are expecting money that's the thing as in minata kufi like tuki anakufanya kitu wana ni kama tunainua something iiki tunainua kiesho kama ni mziki kiguro ine na kupiana kazi ko atu wengisana mi ni kiguro na juo kuna watu but sasa iiyo tata kuzia anata ka umsot na ishie and when somebody want to work on something according to what you are going to give they will never do it perfectly because it will not trust the process atasai iku amtuna mi anga mimisani uki angalia to from body languages anika me kudarawa me kuchukuna venya me kuchukua so situna ona when you tell somebody do you know i do music kuna celebufla na ishie kudia kwa duka mahalpanya fanya kazi then when i was there alikudze anika kama bida ifollow yo na instagram rameo wow good rameo i do music from the look ni niyona ni kama hada agunu lizno faya mziki gani but from the look ni niyona there is an image now what i said i said that i need to work hard to bring something great because on my side na takani work hard differently very hard you want to have a platform because of time we don't have a lot of time we are going to be winding up soon so you as an artist when you start doing shows to expect live performance kutu imbisha sisi crowd kutu imbisha sisi crowd wawu wusha kwa pona live band you are guitarist so you are going to sing perform and you'll have someone on the keys and everything we should expect because you want good music live music first by the time, i am very important as a quick mat i have worked with quick mat well the show was not that perfect on my side what i wanted siku pata because ben to fanya zoi ziki dogo sana we had around 3-4 practices It was not enough for an artist. I picked someone, one by one, one by one. So it was a bit challenging, but well to the bigger shop. All right, cool, but you learned something. Uli jifunza kitu from that experience and next time you're going to do better, right? I will tell my fans that they should expect something big for sure. You're working hard. Yes. That I know, that I know. I've been seeing and from your music, that's why I asked you that, the evolution. Because I saw that grot kutangomia kwanza, I didn't know if we can actually see that you're working. Thank you. But something good. And of course, what are you currently working on? What's your next project as we wind up to ambient, my fans will expect me moving forward. Are you currently working on EP, album and we have a new song that is coming up? Yeah. Well, in the studio now I have two songs. I have Mamacita, Vikipondis. Oh, nice. Vikipondis, then I have Utu Saidiye, Iko Kwaihaj. It's a gospel song. This is why I did gospel song. To me toka kwa kovid, this on mambozote. We still need God. We need God. We do, every day. Atakama naimba mapenzi. At the end of the day, before I sleep, I need to bow down. Yeah. But you know. He's a greatest. Yes. So I had to say, kama machozietu, yabemufuki yamungu atu saibiye. So, ningo maflani, wa ingo ditu. Ningo ma personal kuako. It's a prayer. It's a prayer, but anyone who is in trouble can use it. They can relate to it. Inezamu hili, inezamu hili. Awesome. When it drops no jahom no api. Oku Kingslea ko apa, lajumata tiza kia.
