 Let's try this again. Hi, my name is Valentine and I studio with a very amazing gentleman, one of them I guess, DJ, his name is DJ D and of course our super happen often, so let's tell the truth. We don't get as much swag as this every day. Yeah, please introduce yourself one more time. I'm apologize for the technical difficulties of boys and girls. My name is good, my people. I'm a continental boy, King Perry Pointe season of the world. Tell me who King Perry is, what does he stand for? King Perry is the season of the world. King Perry is the continental boy. King Perry is a cool guy, laid back. I make the continental sound. King Perry is also very stubborn. I'll give you that one for free. For free. Did you know that? Why are you like this? You just are. Conversation with you for two minutes already I can tell you, you're very stubborn. Nice. You're smart. Oh yeah, I am smart, I'm very smart. Alright, tell me about your, is it album? Yes, you've called it Citizen of the World. Yeah, Citizen of the World is a masterpiece. I mean, it's not just an album, it's an identity. It's a mind state. It's me saying if you do something, if you do whatever you do with your craft, that brings people from different parts of the world together. Through your craft, you are a Citizen of the World. If you are aware of yourself, if you are aware of your environment, you are a Citizen of the World. And this is me, with my music, spreading love to the world and bringing people from different parts of the world together. I'm here in Kenya and they love my music here. So they do in Brazil, America are different parts of the world, so I'm saying if you're not just of one place, you are a Citizen of the World. There's no boundaries to this thing we do. How many countries have been to? I've been to like four. Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, which again, I think I shot Yawa video in Benin Republic. Whoa, yeah. What's your favorite country of those four? I love Ghana and I love Kenya too. I love all of them, because they all have one thing in common, you know, nature, the vibes, the nature vibes, you know, and wherever you find trees, that's where you find me. Oh, I kind of... I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but I like trees too. Yeah, so amazing. I can see you. I like trees too, guys. Hashtag social Friday. Okay, why is Ghana always fighting with Nigeria over Jollof? I don't know, but like, I love Nigeria and Jollof so much that when I go to a place, the first thing I ask is, do you guys have Nigeria and Jollof? Uh-huh. I don't know. I can't say that. I can't say for Ghana, you know, because I love Nigeria and Jollof a lot. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Have you tried eating Kenyan food? Not really, not really. Why are you afraid? Yeah, because I'm very sensitive. Oh, I am too, but we have good food. Yeah, but I already did write down names that I wanted to try out, like Motura and... Whoa! Who advised you? I was at the Kenyatta University. Oh! So the students there told me that I should especially try that in the night. Let me tell you something about Motura. You've gotten me all excited. Motura is not something you can just eat from anywhere. So you must be inducted into a particular base, you understand? We have different hoods and everything, and each one of them has several places to eat Motura, but it's only that one that has a bag, you know? So you have to know your way around. Actually, so I'm taking my time. Yes, I'm taking my time. And then Motura, you can't just order it like in bulk. The sweetness is when it's cut and it's more portioned. And you must eat it standing. Mm, cheese. Dipping it in salt and salsa. And then the darkness, as you said, is a must. It's key, heated. Yeah, key, very key. Wow. What else do you want to try? Chapati. Do you have something equivalent to chapati at home? I don't know. Like a paratha? So I don't know. What's chapati made of? Flour, basically. So I don't know what kind of food do you have? Okay. What does suji taste like? I don't understand why it's so stretchy and I have questions. Suji? Is that Nigerian food? Is that suji? The one that's stretchy? Or is it fufu? What is that? The first one? What's that? What do you eat it with? Poundu yam or fufu. That's what I meant to say. It tastes like that. Why is it so stretchy? I guess because it's been pounded. So it's cassava and stuff. Oh, we have something similar but it's not as... Yeah, it's quite solid. Yeah, so I think you should try that. It's nice. What else would you advise me to try? I like spicy food. Oh, you like spicy food? Then you should try you should try ewa going. Ewa going. Describe it for me please. It's like beans with bread. Especially made on the streets. I like street food. Okay, so we have a vibe. Clearly we deserve a vibe in the studio. I like that. Okay, that's enough about food. Tell me about what it meant for you to put this album together. The effort, the challenges. Did you have to postpone anything? Did something not work out when you were on it? The album stopped me a lot. I've been working on it for three years. Three years? Yeah, so it's been a journey. I've been learning and learning and I've just let the universe do her thing. So when something happens I feel like it's meant to happen. So I've just been following everything that has been happening till the album was ready. It's been uploaded so many times and it's been taken down so many times because I wanted it to be taken down. Because I had new songs or I had something I needed to correct. But yeah, it's a special work because I want to look back at it like 10 years from now and know that okay, my first debut is solid and I'm proud of myself. Three years sounds... Okay. Yes, both sounds like a long and short time. Long because I have seen artists kind of want to jump into the EP thing or album thing real quick. And three years on one project. Yeah. It's what it is because of the type of music I make. So I didn't want to rush it. I just wanted to take my time and put it out because it's a project. You know? And it's a project and it's a project and it's not just a project. It's what I stand for. I'm a citizen of the world so it's best I introduce myself with my work as an identity that this is what I stand for before I start showing you guys to music. Yes, exactly. Clear as the road. Okay. Why citizen of the world? Are you a global citizen? Yeah, like I said I'm a citizen of my identity. There's no boundaries to my music. There are people who whatever they do it's not just of one place. It's of the world with their craft. Not just artists. Anthony Joshua is a boxer but we all come together to watch him fight. Nelson Mandela stands for something. Muhammad Ali these are people that when they did things the world did listen to them and they spread love through their office with whatever they were doing. I feel like I needed to put a name to that as a global citizen. This is what I stand for and this is who I am with my music, with my craft and already I have people around the world listening to my music and I don't think it's a normal thing. It's a special thing to have people from countries where they don't understand English vibe to my music solid vibe into my music I feel like it's a special thing for me because music is universal language so for that that makes me a citizen of the world and a global citizen so if you know you do something out there with your craft you're here to spread love to the world with your craft your citizen of the world. We have two questions. I'll start with the people who you have highlighted those are pretty heavy names do you have a mentor someone who's a legend right now or you just like what they did or that their name remained I was signed to one of my favorite artists you know I listen to him while growing up my dad plays his music a lot and funny how I got into his part and he signed to his label and it feels great seeing the world from his own perspective that's like built me in a very very strong way that I know that in decades to come in years to come I'm solid because it's from I'm coming from the legend pull me on it's amazing do you know how long I've loved Demiah since Demiah sang Demiah they call me Demiah that's a legend please tell him I said hello you may forget I will trust you I will that honor that greatness has made me weak in the needs a little bit I'm glad to be appreciate thank you damn okay if you could choose something about yourself you know how we are humans yes and we have a lot of different parts that we show people the way I am behaving right now on TV is not the way I behave in front of my parents perhaps or my sibling or my landlord you know so is there a part of you that you don't show anyone and would one day will it shine would it come out with a vibe you understand so if maybe you're low-key very soft and mushy and love death inside so one day you'll just kind of incline your music that way or if you're angry and we find out you can rap too are you going to channel it there you understand but I think I'm beginning to come out on my shell you know I used to I paint but I don't I do that on the inside I don't really like show that out he's very good yeah I paint and I'm a very quiet person but I like to talk around my people that I trust that I love people that I'm comfortable around but other than that I'm a very laid back chill person okay so basically what you're giving us right now is what he said is him yeah just surviving if you've listened to his music he has a very very I don't know how else to describe it there's no word so that's basically how what it sounds like so translated into if it was a person it really is a person okay now wrapping the question where do you plan on do you have a place you want to visit around here in Kenya in Kenya I think I would have to come back because I would be leaving soon so I want to come back to Kenya properly this time not to do any like work I just want to enjoy myself you know so I want to go to the safari I want to check out the lions I want to see my people oh you have people there the lions who is that this one now all right okay if you will see if you will see also go to the course they have really really good spots and it's not as cold yeah it's so cold that's a place it's on our way are you adjusting because of the cold yeah it's cold very very I told would you collaborate with someone in Kenya or do you have someone in mind I've been listening to great music here I had the sip and gring I like that one it's a hit do you know what it means you don't tell me what to do with my life I like that one special that's a jam right there and then the storyteller I think great guy I love Sautiso too all right so I see you've already found your niche I like the music let's move here I can't I'm here to connect the dots and go to another connect the dots I'm a global citizen it's only right that I do this we heard you the first time nah it's better when you go there and connect to the people special just the way I'm here right now you are connecting how does it feel when you hear people just singing along to your jams to a country you've never been to ever that's what we are paying you ask we like free things so if we pay come see you yeah it's very special cause that's one of the reasons I like music to heal the world to spread message spread love so when people listen to my music and they smile I'm fine that's it you would start singing one day heartbreak if it's effective cause I heard sometimes artists use words in their surroundings say for example someone heart breaks your heart yeah I mean I'm a very introverted person so like the mic is how like the mic is one of the reasons where like I speak my mind express myself you know so like whatever I feel I speak to the mic so on the album they are like different energies moods that you need to when you listen to the album you can tell whatever you're hearing is from my heart from African boy season of the world cream de la creme, yawa, wakan gran that's all like you're very confident you've never felt shy to expose it's like being sing naked so like that's why that's why like I feel like the music just gives me like a house around me you know so I think I'm not a very expressive person you know but my music is where you find me being expressive I tell you a secret we're complete opposites I have one song been in studio once once like this was that hard break?
