This is my first time in Kenya. All right. Tell us about your experience. How are you finding it? Find. I think today is the first when I came out. I came in two days ago. Oh yeah. So I have to just rest and catch my breath. Aha. Did you guys hear that? It is the first time since she came to Kenya to like live the house and we are getting an exclusive. Yes. Ha ha ha. They may find that. She may punish that. They may money as well. Yeah, go in a panda in a minute. In a minute. All right. How are you finding Kenya to find the super? It's a new place for me. I'm just trying to adapt to the whole and here because it's quite different from where I'm coming from but right. I know. I had a friend of mine from West Africa came in and he was here for a while. Okay. The food was really hard for him. Are you having the same problem? I have to go. I have to look for Nigerian food. I just have to. I just have to. But I'll try. I'll try some Kenya before I leave. You should. So we have Ugarli. It's more like food. Ugarli, okay. Only hours is a little bit. Ugarli is softer. Oh. How is it made? Oh. Corn. Yeah. How is corn? Ugarli is cassava. Cassava, yeah. Oh. There's something else that I think I have to try. There's something called Sumocha. Sumocha. Sumocha. I have to ask him. Yeah, he knows it. I have to ask him. I'll try it on. Tell him to take it to somewhere that they sell it. Somewhere they sell it. Okay. And street food. We have amazing street food. You should try it on. Yeah, that's what actually it's part of the street food. Pasua. Pasua. How was that? Kiki Pasua. And they only come in two. Okay. You can't have one. Yeah. When you go there, tell them to Ngungembili. Ngungembili. Yes. You got it. Ngungembili. Yes. All right. Now, take us through your music journey. I know you started singing at a very early age at age 7. Yes. That's a long time. Yeah, that's a long time. I started singing when I was, you know, very tender. I was very much and everything. Then it got to a point when I have to go for MTM project fame. Right. Yeah, in Nigeria. Yeah. It's a competition. So after the project fame, I didn't win, but I was like, no, I think I need to. You got the experience. You get me. I was like, no, I need to take this serious. That was 2011. Then after then I took a break because I dropped some couple of songs then. Then I took a break. I go back. After the break, I now came back in 2018. And since the 2018, I've been giving it back to back. To back. To back. In a period. I know, and we love that. But then let me take you just back a little bit. Yeah. Because growing up, you used to listen to a lot of Bob Marley and Bob Wood. Yeah, my mom, yeah. Are they some of your influences when it comes to making music? Yeah, I think so. I think so because when I was much younger, my mom used to listen to a whole lot of Jamaican music. Bob Marley, Dana King, Dana Rose Rather. Yeah. What's her name again? I've forgotten. Cleopatra. That was long time ago. But all those things built me, it developed the sound I have. Do you understand? So, I think that's played a huge role in my career. Yeah. With my sound rather. In your sound. With my sound. Yeah. Who you identify as. As who Lisa is right now. Yeah, Lisa. Lisa. I don't know why I keep calling her. I only say Lisa and then I'm like Lisa. Lisa. Gaza. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Gaza. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gaza. But okay, another thing I saw that you're most interested in is speaking for women. Yes. Yeah, you want to be the voice of women. Like why did they say that in your music? Okay. First of all, what I stand for, I stand for quality, gender equality. You know, there's a song I did when I went to Ghana. I think it was last year there about. Yeah. So after I went to Ghana, I heard something called Girls Abrae. Abrae means tired in Ghana in three language. I'm not from there but I like learning new things whenever I travel. Wait, sorry. So that's where the song came from. That's where the Girls Abrae and Girls are tired. Girls retire. We don't belong to that room. Retire. We want to become more. We want to do more in society. We need more rooms in society. That was where the whole vibe or rather, but it's something that I find very interesting in speaking, using my voice to, you know, speak for women. Do you think women are where they're meant to be or we still have a long way to go? No, we're not even where we're meant to be because women have full of potentials. We're too much. We're much. Like when I mean much, we're full of, we have a space in the society and the society is not giving us that platform, that room to become more. Especially here in Africa. Yeah, especially in Africa. But some people feel like we've been giving a lot of platform lately. Everybody is just like every NGO and every is actually getting better but not we're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're not there yet. But it's a good start. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're moving on. We're moving on. All right. And because of that, because you feel, you support women a lot. You also have a charity. Did you study just because you wanted to support women as well? No, no, no. It's something I decided between me and God that I have to be doing for the less privileged or fans less opportune people in general. Not just children. Yeah. So I do that every end of the year. So whenever I even travel anyway, I just look for people where people are not, you know, the society, you know how African is, a whole lot is not just happening the way it should happen. So I just look for people that need the help more and just lend my help any which way I can. I do that every end of the year, especially in my country but I've traveled together and I did a couple of it, some give away to some less opportune people in Ghana. So probably I might do that here in Kenya. So it's something I understand. Of course. We're going to be, like if you do that in Kenya, of course we're going to support where we can. Thank you. He's been doing that lately. Wow, nice. Nice, nice, nice. He's been talking about it so I feel like we could yeah, that could actually work out. We help for, we are helped to be raised. Like sorry, we help other people. We are sorry, people help us for us to help other people. And he's going to sting me. I think that's what I wanted to say but I was eating my tongue. I don't know and if you're stingy with the little you have you're not going to go far. You get me. Give us never lack. That's true. All right. And apart from like because you look fabulous because you not only do music. You also you are a designer. You have a clothing line. So tell us about that and how you even finding balance between that and music. That's like because you know you just have to keep keep you just have to do whatever you have to do. So apart from that probably if I wasn't doing music I would have been a proper a fashion designer. Because I love fashion. So what I do is like for me for me music is like 90% of music 10% of the clothing line. So but I have people handling it. So I just give them idea of what I want them to create for me. Then they create it and that's it. Oh, nice. Thank you. Must be nice, right? So I was thinking we do this and there's someone who's taking notes and then they bring it and it's done. No. No. It's not done. You help out a little bit. Yeah, I help out a little bit. Like the sketches. Yeah, the sketches. But it's not a thing that I put my whole energy in because my music is my number one. Your music is your number one. My number one. Yeah, together. So you had your first EP not so long ago. That was in 2019. That was 2019, yeah. Grateful. Grateful, yes. Yeah. So tell us about that, the album. Grateful was a a state that I was at that particular time. Coming back to music trying to do the thing I love doing and because at a point when I took a break it wasn't easy then. So I just while returning back it's like oh, I'm doing this now. Oh God, I'm grateful. That was the I think it's a five-track EP. Yeah. I talked about Grateful. I talked about girls break, girls are tired. Then love is sweet for the love of a bed. Yeah. Then an African woman that's the domestic voice of a woman voice of an African. You know, I was just trying to still lend my voice to to the women, you know. Right. Yeah. And that was amazing. How did you perform? It was it for me it was a kickoff. You know, it was a kickoff to to the to the to reintroduce it back. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, yes. So what do you think? Like taking time off. That means you're walking on yourself and everything. What have you learned when you're away? What are you currently walking on? Because now you have another EP. Another EP. Of course. So that means you must have done something right. So you feel like the break was necessary. It's words. It's words because then I back then when I finished project fame, I didn't know a whole lot about music. Like in the business aspect of it. Yeah. I just wanted to do music. Singa. Yeah. As I'm singing, I have to make money and hang. Yeah. So that was it. So it was a time for me to just learn and lean back and just understand myself the better. Right. And now you have Gaza. Yeah, Gaza. Gaza is the latest one. All right. Gaza, yeah. And you actually go by Gaza, that's my name. That's like Lisa George aka Gaza. Yeah. Gaza is my personality. Okay. I have like two personalities. Oh, so that's your alter ego. Alter, thank you. Oh, that's my alter ego. Gaza is your alter ego. Okay. So you vibe with Vaid Skatel or how did that come about? Okay. That's what I'm saying. I think I said something like that. I was saying that my mom when I was young, quite young, my mom listens to a whole lot of Jamaican music. Island music. But when I did great for when I came back then, I just wanted to give especially where I'm from Nigeria to give that Afro beat, Afro sound kind of. I wanted to just please people. Displeasing myself. Yeah. But in with the long run or rather after the grateful, I just figured a way to balance it up. Being me and still giving people what they like. Right. So that's the Gaza thing. Okay. So now we have a whole EP, seven tracks. No, no, no, seven, five. Five tracks as well. Four track, five grateful is five. Okay. Gaza EP is four. Oh. Four. Nice. So tell us about the album. Like that is your latest project. Yes, yes, yes. So tell us about it. What inspired it and who have you worked with on the album. Okay. Before the Gaza EP, I worked with Skibi. I don't know if you know Skibi. I've seen that. Yeah. Fiba Dijo. He's big. He's like really big. How do you then get attention of someone like that? I know him. He's my friend. Oh. We went to the studio together. It was like I started doing the chorus of that song. It was like wow. I think I like what you're doing here. Let me voice on it. Let me he's my G. He's my nigga. So that was how Fiba Dijo came to be. I know. Then it was after Fiba Dijo I now dropped the Gaza EP. Right. Which is the four track that contains weekend, call upon me, my type and carry me. Yeah. So in that Gaza EP I was just trying to express my enemy. Everything that I said there was 100% unfiltered me. I didn't filter anything. So you wrote it yourself. I wrote it myself. I wrote it myself. Yeah. But as I'm trying to also give them the Gaza because I'm introducing Gaza. People don't know me as Gaza. They know me as Lisa George. So I was trying to introduce Gaza. I said okay let me find a way to balance it because not everybody that actually lives here is a patua. So there's a one track there that has the Lisa George apart from Gaza. Yeah. Remember I said I have to personality. So there's Lisa Lisa George Gaza now. Thank you. Gaza is the is the color for me. We can my type is Gaza. Yeah. But carry me is Lisa George. The calm, sweet girl, the sexy girl. Gaza is the no. Lisa. You get the vibe now. Gaza goes hard. Gaza goes hard. Thank you Gaza. Everybody everybody love Gaza more. And for people who don't know we're going to have a taste of that. You're going to be performing for hours. But I think my favorite out of the EP is called upon me. Color for me. Yeah. And the video is out. It's out on YouTube and it's out everywhere. It's out. You can go check it out. You have more than half a million views. Yes. In just one month. Yes. How do you do that?
