 So nangamizia kwa nisha wikiwa liku niya kwa wikiwa klubby m uponisha kwa wikiwa liku niya kwa wikiwa liku niya kwa wikiwa kola kwa commanded Meran We were expecting singing, but we were watching music. Then at the time we were wondering, I thought it was great yao, which was awesome. We were just singing. But by the end of high school, I had written a whole album and I was ready to get into it. I wanted to know what the motivation was in your high school. Teenage hormones. That's the truth. This sound master is actually, there's this is something about some of the music Please come back and say I appreciate you yannyashwua, ag그� mahen wa k来了 kufuak fmelle na m domains udepu wajit bia na tibiaa tibia z저 na yaatua, na yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua, yaatua. We started jamming we recorded a couple never really released them, but yaa that was really fun. It did a lot for my girls. So now you've joined a band you decided after that year of deciding of the break of. I'm joining campus I'm doing this and that and that. What was that like you making the decision to start doing music professionally? Like what made you get into you pursuing professionally? That actually happened now in like 4ish when I had done all this writing and I'm like this is a lot of effort for just something I'm just vibing with. Then I came across this band actually from like the states and in my mind I thought these people don't know who I am. This is just a bunch of boys on another side of the world and going by the comments I got from my friends and classmates if I can do that, if someone in Germany can be like yo this music is amazing, someone in wherever then that's what I want to do and that's how I was like yes we are doing this. That's so lovely. Your love started in this national from way back when. So now the band I'm trying to see if you guys saw together or did you at what point did you stem from being part of something into you pursuing a solo career? The band kind of just passively dissolved around 2018 one goes this way, one goes the other way. One of us is actually still doing music somewhere else but out of the three of us is just me and his name is Tim but we just you know you do your thing, I do my thing they happen to be in different directions. It's cool, we're still friends so I just thought I'm not going to stop doing this thing I love just because I'm not with these guys anymore I'll do it myself. It was scary. That's actually what I want to ask. I know a lot of times we don't like to navigate to us the negativity but what was that like as the reality for Agia? Oh it was terrifying. I was so scared, the only thing that was bigger than my fear was my love for it and that's why I'm still here. Otherwise I would have bowed out a long time ago. Then fast forward to 2019 we get to you release your first single Is this something you'd written from way back in high school? No, it was something I had just written maybe a month before that I was at some show I had opened for Tertushani and I met my producer who is my producer to date, Modes Chabari Oh that's so cool, we've actually had it on the show before. I met him then, I was like I'm a singer and I'm sure and when I think about it now I'm sure so many people have worked up to producers like Oh I'm a singer, I don't know. So I still, I think it's a huge deal that he took me seriously and we actually got to working and he was a huge part of the beginning of my solo career. Actually so I even wanted to ask about that. So when you're stemming into now approaching people who understand them so the producers and managers and stuff like that what are some of the things you were in your you probably learnt a bit too late that you don't want to tell someone who wants to now start doing the usual go to a music event I rap, you wanna support me and stuff like that I would say the most important part is do it first before you tell anyone anything have something to show because you could go around like Oh I'm a singer, okay what have you done? You know I'm a rapper Nothing So have something to show, have evidence because everyone is a singer if you think about it like I said back in the day everyone was a singer, that's why I didn't even take it seriously myself So have something to show for sure that's step one I would say you approach them with like if it's a recording on your phone have it, because I know by the time you have a studio session that's a whole other thing but something, something you've written, something you've recorded evidence okay and after the single then we have the EP how long did that take to come about and in the meantime did you find a label you have something you'd like to ask the EP was in 2020 so that's quarantine season but for me the EP was let me just say I had gotten my heart shuffled you know Nairobi did what Nairobi does and I was like Imaji Isizu Kanaio so like as a natural writer I just found myself I'm writing another one it just came like I was venting I was crying through my music so I went to modest and I was like yo I have an EP and he's like let's do it so I did it, actually the cover for it is a painting that I did so yeah that was my first major step like a whole EP I did a video for the lead single um that was massive for me quite something plus 8k and I hope you're very very proud of yourself because turning hearts into hearts is quite beautiful right yeah and then at that point this is when you decided your music would basically be through and from back then is it something that this character development is it what stemmed into what you wanted your audience to know of you and at what point did you realize this is what I want my audience to know that was when I was writing back in high school because I'm always drawn to like heavily emotional pieces of work I feel like there's so much authenticity so much drawnness that thing of being international that human being in this world has a love story whether it's heartbreak whether you're falling in love whatever everybody knows love so I was like and I'm very comfortable writing extremely emotional things so why not I love that before we get to hear a bit of what some of your songs for anyone that hasn't had what that sounds like 4 months you have next week yes on Tuesday jamuhuri day the 12th we will be having the Vibe 254 at ASK Showgrounds along Gong Road tickets are just 1000 only so come through it's going to be an amazing show it'll be me, a couple of others Costa Ojuang, Jokikaru, Billy Black it's going to be a great afternoon what onanda kulea oh yeah we will laugh I'm not depressing it has to come out alright you had it if you want to catch the live next week the Vibe 254 Pale Jamuhuri ASK Showgrounds and also now for those that in case someone is not able to catch the show live what else, where else can they get you oh my music is on every streaming platform Spotify, Apple, YouTube under the name D with 4 E's like when you think about my name just thinking like a smiling D you know oh you're such a delight to have on the show thank you so much for coming thank you ju no it's good kuleza ju na uktafuta you have to smile harder you have to keep it you have to be extra you have to remind people as it should be alright like she said D with 4 E's on socials pye muzikia kia onda or literally live streaming they are called music streaming or live streaming platform music streaming platform so how are we going to get just a glimpse of what D will sound like when she performs live as a DJ gets ready now in addition to just do it which I know sounds like evidence but part 2 believe in yourself and it needs to be deep because this road is long and hard and there's going to be all sorts of reasons to not do it there will always be a reason to not do it you have to have a very solid reason to do it so believe in yourself the guy less you just take to it we love it alright final took already you came into my life sun is brighter and I can sleep at night being around you it makes me feel alive I'm supposed to do when you give me butterflies I get lost in the ocean of your eyes everything about you is so divine I never met someone like you make me nervous that's why I act a fool I just love every single thing you do I don't know what to do if I fell in love what if I jumps without a shoe what would I do what would I do
