 Because the first thing I liked from Kenya, they support you without knowing where you're from. They just like what you do and they support. It was my first time to be... You know, like I'm big in Uganda, I'm big in Burundi, I'm big... I don't know, in Kenya. I was surprised to see Fudetua being a big song like that. Yes, boss, boss, boss. Um... What's up? Alright, welcome. This is SPM Buzz, the common silver kid across all social media platforms. And today, I've been joined by a producer and a recording artist. A hit maker, rising all the way from then... Rising all the way from those days as a high school DJ to becoming a hit maker, an international producer, of course. Today, I've been joined by one and only... Element, Ellie Is. How are you, brother? I'm all good, I'm doing amazing. How's the going? Good, I like it here. This is a good place to be. Nairobi. Yeah, Nairobi is good. Nairobi is good. Yeah, of course. What makes you think Nairobi is good? For me, climate is all. Climate, people, the love and support does everything. Love and support. What do you mean by love and support? Is it that you're saving big support by Kenyans? Sure. Because the first thing I liked from Kenya, they support you without knowing where you're from. They just like what you do, and they support. It's a bit warm. Yeah, that's how Fudetua came here. I didn't have anyone here to push my song. But my song was here because of Kenyans. Kenyans? Yeah, they just found it and loved it without considering the guy who sang the song. Tell me about Fudetua, the making process, the journey to transition, the opportunities it had hoping for you. I mean, Fudetua, I did Fudetua as like I do other songs, but I was surprised to see Fudetua being a big song like that. But the opportunities Fudetua opened, there are many, there are many, because it was my first time to be, you know, like I'm big in Uganda, I'm big in Burundi, I'm big, I don't know in Kenya, but I think, I hope I would be. But I think like it's opening gates with promotions, standards, you know, like producing because even I'm the one who produced, apart from singing it, I produced the song, I directed the song. Yeah, but that's why I can say like Fudetua is everything. Fudetua means, it's a blessing. Fudetua means what? Crazy about you. Crazy about you. Tell me about the song, Crazy About You. Are you writing for someone you had in mind? Were you crazy in love with someone? Not really, just came like that. Yeah, the song I wrote, according to my story it was Kache, the first release, but Fudetua is like the way I do other songs, just an inspiration, just putting yourself in a place where people love each other, they're crazy about someone. That's how I did Fudetua, but it was not from my story or what. What inspires your creative process, your writing process? I just put myself in that situation I'm going to write about and everything comes down. You coming to Kenya, of course, I believe you having an opportunity, there's a chance for you to interact with Kenyan artists in 254. Do you have some in mind you're planning to work with? I'm planning to work with Otile, Bien, Sanayipat, Sanayipay Tande. So they showed me, Sky showed me everyone here, and I like being soul, so I think so in general, although they are part. But I have Mukami, Nadia Mukami. I have a lot of artists here I want to work with. I want to work with everybody, because I want to see my music somewhere else. That's why I want to work with everyone. I just want to vibe with anyone, so because I don't know what will be out, will bring, how can I say, come from that vibe, or collab or music, vibes or chemistry. You growing up, did you listen to, get a chance to listen to Kenyan music? Of course, of course. Any memories listening to Kenyan music, any artists used to listen, maybe a favorite artist, while growing up? Jaguar, when I was young, there is Kigeo Geo, he's from here. That's my first Kenyan song, I loved it all my heart. Kigeo Geo, Kigeo, that's all. Ana Geo Geo? Ana Geo Geo, what's the meaning? Kigeo Geo means someone turning back against you. Oh, I don't know the meaning, but I loved the melodies, and I felt like this song is, you know music is spiritual. You can't even realize or analyze the lyrics they are talking about, but you let music is spiritual. You just love it without considering what they are singing about. That's why I like that song. There are many songs from here, man. I don't remember well the names. I like Sautison General, I like Calligraphy Jones. And I want to work with Calligraphy too, by the way. Of course. You want to work with Calligraphy? He's a big one. Yeah. What favorite song do you have from Calligraphy Jones? Which one? I don't remember the names, but I had some favorites. So, right? Yeah, from Calligraphy. Calligraphy Jones. Yeah, yeah. I wish you, I know for sure your management will make it possible for you to work with any artist you're looking for. I met, I talked with Otile before. I talked with Bien. Bien, we didn't talk. Calligraphy. I think we talked, I talked with those guys only. But others, it's my first time. But I wish, okay, I wish I work with them. Who's to work with them? Talking about the other song. Other song. You've mentioned something about the other song. Other song, like how? Yeah, your song. Cache. Cache, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cache was my first release. What was it? Inspiration behind it? Memories? Cache was like... It's a song I made for my girlfriend, my ex-girlfriend. And when it was done, the girl was... And the girl left, you know? So, it was off the beat, you know? It was off the rhythm. So, at that time, I just... Just had to release the song. Because I didn't have to let the song be there, like that. And because I knew the song was great. So, I just said that, let me release it. You never know. And let me try my best, my chance and see what will come out. So, Cache was big, man. Was big in Rwanda. And even outside. That's a wonder. Was it your first heartbreak? First what? Heartbreak? Eh, I think so. You think so? Yeah. Is it hard for you to find it hard to give a chance to someone? It's hard, because I know how hard it is to heal. Yeah. And for me, I don't let someone for me like... I don't let someone go in love with me when I'm not sure. Because I know how it feels like. Yeah. How was the healing process? Eh, man, it was hard for me, man. It was hard. I spent like a whole year. But now I'm good. I'm good because, you know, when you feel like talking about something, that thing is no more big to you. So, just a simple thing. But in those times, man, hey, hey, it was huge, man. Now, this is hard to find love. And Rwanda, they say, Rwanda, we share, you know? Share, of course. But I don't share, man. I don't share. Sharing is caring. Caring? They say it. I don't know, truly. I know what you mean. And what you mean? I don't do that. You don't do that? You don't get it? Forget about it. No. This year, what plans do you have for us? This year. This year. I'm releasing my next song, next single. It's a single. It's not a collaboration. And in May or April, the endings of April. Yeah. All right. I wish you all the best. Thank you so much for speaking to us. I know you're in a hurry. You just arrived yesterday. SP and Bazo, oil is here to support you. I know we're here to talk about you, Johnny. To your fans, to Kenyan fans, are there love to hear something from you? I appreciate the love you showed me.
