I'm also fine what is your name? moon s kenya everywhere Instagram Facebook YouTube what is your subscriber? what is your stream? moon s kenya you are doing a good job and I love your work but now first things first how was your music journey been? it has been great it has been complaining ups and downs but I thank God I'm still pushing you have power so far? yes I'm fine how are you? I'm fine you know based on what's taking place on the ground for women for ladies it is different for men it is different for women it is different for women it is different how was the experience? I think for men have it easier to do for us it is a male dominated industry so when you go to a studio when you go to a woman and then most when you go to a woman and then you go to a girl when you go to a joto but no you see I think I have talent when you go to a woman and you have talent because you know we are struggling with a lot of things behind the scenes so when you make it easier when you have talent and potential you give them a chance you support someone genuinely you support them and then you are later on favors but you used to be a shy person yes I used to you used to be very shy but now you look chiki really of course that is just a joke I used to be shy and then you realise na shyness you can't go anywhere koto auto na take when you are shy they have more opportunity to use you nika no na kuka sphere she is naive and maybe that's not the case and they take advantage of you they usually do so na kongatu le and then shyness can have to talk about it shyness is complicated how is it being you know throughout walking through from stage to stage and of course working with different people and you have to show different types of faces to different people because there is the shy part of you and there is the other part that needs to perform how is it being we complain I think you find the balance as you move when you learn music you learn on the job you learn as you go as you grow you would say you learnt on the job I was starting out I was in Namachile so as time goes by you grow, you evolve you meet new people you learn things I think not anytime you are giving yourself time to your veto because you know with music you have to research what they are doing so I think it's evolution let's talk about that evolution how moon was a few years back and how moon is there are those mistakes that people do when they are amateurs when they are on stage when they are on stage and you are like I could have done that and right now you can be able to do something better and of course you can also see someone else get on stage and they do the same mistake and you are like I was there before you what are some of these amateurs when you are on stage and you are like and you are like you are like a Jew because you look at how somebody behaves and you are like I wish I could help that person I wish I could be there for this person because I know I know what they are doing so mostly you can't help someone maybe you see them because you know we all make different mistakes so this is your mistake someone else so I think it's how can I put it like maybe you know how to interact with people because you know music is social so I think mostly how you communicate and how you talk to people do you know what you are doing because you know what you are doing because you know what you are doing I think it's too friendly when you are not supposed to and when you check and check exactly now you see it could be a job like maybe it's a producer and you know CC Tunawak is a producer, directors, DJ and then so some want it to be too friendly and then for you how do you you know you don't know people's intentions so maybe you got two points like when it's time for job and work let's keep it that way you keep it professional like we can laugh we can joke but don't take it too far because sometimes you know people can misunderstand like how you talk to them maybe it's like they want to be nice and then someone is like would they want to check your culture and then when you misunderstand just try and keep it professional especially because you know for ladies notice these trees are not safe they are not safe they ain't your mama's streets so when you are still starting being too friendly being too friendly I don't know I don't know I don't know it's easy you know at first you don't know what to expect so I think for me everything comes too easy for me and then you realize you have to work you have to put in work life gives you a good slap on the head it's not easy so you have to keep on working you keep on pushing you keep on bettering yourself and practice a lot of practice so you won't never say mama now if you look at the journey because about Mungakus the evolution of moon you have a good name Tatombu the evolution of moon you've worked with to produce different types of music I want to know the producers you've worked with the kind of people you've worked with and your experience when it comes to all these songs that you've managed to even put on YouTube for producers I think mostly for director you may maintain director Moja Tatombu in Nani for audios now I try to work in Kenya I work now even producers from Uganda bigger to all of them by the way Burundi, yes so I want to cover your target but it's factor there are your Alex there are tides from Uganda one of your kazi puwa sana one of your kazi puwa they are doing so I'm trying also to experiment on new sounds yes how do you work now director Ajujodrambi Tatombu is director because director Ajujodrambi is also my husband we work together like he produces my music how is it working with your own husband to produce your music it's nice so I think it's challenging but it's okay do you have a studio in your house no never when it's a shoot day to know that it's so professional so come out to Kasiushana I will tell you tell him to revisit to revisit the next time you don't end up singing last night you did this no because you know for my videos we invest to really invest so imagine a day to make a shoot do you have time to manza kukosana and stuff so we really really try maybe zile ko rolls takwa kwa sets zile tuza like siku kukosana really like you know kuna zile tuza maybe harakisha you know you're slow maybe ease or two but I don't think of that no no kia zaku jamam tafanyaka you want to and then you realize you put in money and then kuna kuna time naika apu ibu it's like an investment so hamoizia na kutiaza na place manajua like this is where you're like sat down and say these are going to be our roots mule kachinimu katsuma e-line for their shoot we strictly keep it professional ata kukuen na nini ata sujina yami kasiushana ni kukuen na we hold we first do the work and then now later on because you know today is our vibes Thursday right so piya kwa shoot kuna konga ni kwa vibes kuna ili enajimna taka kwa sets so hamoizia na na bad vibes and then you expect like you'll have a dope video so lazima mood from morning to evening and those who are working around you you know they're also picking taking notes from how you handle each other and then now mimi ni kiaza na mood zmbaya ina transfer kwa kuna transfer to everyone else so yeah we can't afford to do it bad moods apu ini good vibes only akuna storing ine na ini kisha to hivi bata ni nyumbani kama mimi komi kasiushana but then mimi koma mechoka mimi koma mechoka kama mimi komi kosa nam kosa but that that sounds like good therapy yeah it's good therapy it's nice it's working with your partner he knows what what you want what I'm expecting so ina kuanga yeah it's nice I'm interested in finding out exactly how you started this music journey for you your discovery of music to the point that you now started writing your own songs how did you start from school or from outside school let's go back let's go back genesis I think niliansia now primary if I can remember niliakwa kama anini prefect kwa prefect class don't make noise kwa kwa kwa class it's funny because niliakwa kama I was expecting I would be the headgun at that time and now now when they came to announce niliakwa kama I was in a Catholic school so your time there is what you call litagic so it's like a school choir so mimi nikiakwa like in charge in charge of the choir no it's like it's also like a big prefect I also control how things go because of the privileges on a partner so it's like a big prefect in the primary consulata in Nyeri oh yeah and then now so you see I was expecting I would be the headgun and then it backfired I was scanning my position and then I was like I'm not sure I can do this and then I don't know I could just sing I could just lead the choir like the big church in Nyeri and then I would sing and then my sister would sing you know snacks you did a good job and then I would be like I just used to be noisy and I used to be singing nikiakwa dom mngepatatu na imba so that's why we were not expecting it I was not expecting it I rebelled you were rebellious what made you think you would put you as a headgun because I used to have that lead a factor and then before before nipatiyo position I still used to I was still a prefect I was still a prefect then we were in class 8 and then now kumaginazmi submitia I was among them I was with the headgun then I was given another position and then I was like what what do you want me to be the school choir leader how was it being the school choir leader it was nice you ended up loving it I loved it but at first you hated it I really hated it because you see I didn't see at that time so from that time I just started because you know music I used to love music I used to know all the songs kwa chach like even zilkwa of head I would lead bilata kuangalia area so with time I agreed to love to love it and then I started writing a first song I think I wrote my first song in class 8 onakumuka but I think it will work first song was in first song was in apotea but it was something like something mama like I can't remember but you continued writing yeah I continued asi kwa na zile katholic tune no asi kwa na zo you know funny thing acha nikiwa niki mwa kwa chach na nini I never saw myself as a gospel artist I don't know why but once I got to know you can sing gospel song but I was like what you see like for gospel you need the calling I didn't think I had it in me so akuna hajja kuchits yeah and you know I'm not fooling anyone but an ajua like this one you follow your heart so asi kwa yandika like a gospel gospel song yeah but some people you remember how it was back then when you were zakado zakado zina kwa na but you were the kwa master yeah I was and I used to love this song but then they were used to write my songs you know niki yanda home nili kwa na skiliza sana like the worldly songs nili kwa into a kina nili kwa nili kwa so those were the songs so those are the people that you really looked up to you are listening to which one was your favorite song back then or just among your favorites say let's make it up number one I used to have a real song and then there was money I can't say the songs specifically but those guys were they really impacted they really like kama wali say yaku shape so now you've left primary you've started you're going to high school so in form 2 I recorded my first song I recorded my first song na kumbuka sko ichukwa kwa studio because then my dad was like do you want us to pay your school fees or do you want us to pay your studio fees siya pumusaja na jam na na sama either you saw me I was angry but dad was like no nili fanyasong bili kwa studio and then onajon nili deya kwanzo nili kwa studio and then you don't know anything but he was pissed but I entered and then I was like I'm home na niti le pileso nili and then it's like everything nili kwa na ni bomba too but then how did you get to the studio if your dad wasn't supportive of you going to the studio nili beshtiangwa lini ambiya so we just called the guy pili kwa na home studio at that time so nika ena nika ingiya at that time it was like 7 days to record but you have no clue I have no clue I didn't know so we did the first song and then I came na fanyasong ingi na and then after we worked but now you know you have to pay say na 40,000 na you record video share record audio and then now before I give you the master you have to pay na kama niza how much na audio is 7k na kama niza how much na kama niza how much na kama niza how much na kama niza how much na kama niza how much sa hyata studio na na mani tisha fest 14k tuna li pa skonfi aur na iitika tulp se? kwa na k Faiza bola spray na waka ra tBLANK kwa nikiya tos na du ni nukiya madehゆ iitika tulp se kakunam huzu biza na tuna tulp se alive iitika tulp se I didn't choose, they chose for me. I didn't have a choice. So what did you do? I left it, we left it there. So I never recorded another song until I had finished high school. So you left it at the time? Yeah sir. So I left it at the time, and we left it there. So I left it there, and we left it there. And I told him, I told him that I was going to sing, and then I made a lot of copies of those two songs. So I left it there, and we left it there. But then I told him that I was an artist. And then sasa nugi kwa, baka nili anziy shak uchangisha pesa. I started a small kaharambi And I was so familiar. So you were at a young age? I had no... I knew I'd tell you as I was young. I said, auntie, sasa, nika nana tjandi kwa $50,000. I told her I was a boy, and then she said he'd tell me that I was a responsibility. Now I'll help you, I will open the marriage certificate for you too. So didi kete 14? No I never did I never went back to this Ya for the songs I only had the demos Baki kafika point and then I I was like Nikiamza kuze iskili za iyo time I was like what was I doing Ya like ok the songs are already so Ata see kwa tana You could hear yourself and you were like Ya like my voice from my voice I never used to practice No you know from what you sing at school You just sing Kata akunam tu mwenyanak Kuna pitch up Akunam tu alikwa nanda lianga iyozo And then now onafika po place And you went to the studio now When I entered now the studio Kwanza ku record And then do na kudziwa haia Sive nyan kwa na fukiria You have to practice You have to speak You do the vocal training And then I was like Ya so I don't know what to do But then how did you come up with the name Moon Moon nili patia shule So not high school Badu high school nili Badu nili jin kwaia shule Ya high school Jogorod high school You go to somewhere Ya Nairobi Apatu Nairobi Nairobi na Jogorod high school Ya badu nili jin kwaia And then now badu Badu nili kwa tuna tabiaza primary Nili zpele kaha high school So unge patia kwa down badu Mimindo na imba Mimindo na kudziwa haia Mimindo entertainment Mimindo entertainment So apu ibo tukashika na madem And then tukanzaku jitama So at first I didn't know Ata jina Nili I experimented Like with a lot of names Na kumbukaku na times Jini kwa na jita I don't remember Biki something Ya already It had a B somewhere Ya so from your time I think Muncha nili patangato Elik kujangato I don't expect sunshine Ya but it was really sunshine Because now you see Nase manga Like the name moon It has character in it And I think I also have character So I find it to not compliment And then you see like a bit later So In terms of you Call me moon You've released a couple of songs Ya I want to say your voice Nase kata pate Nase kata kizakitago Vaz Do you select a song?
