 Welcome to SPM Buzz, my good name is Miskitinji and this is Buzz with stars and right now I am hanging out with a star He has just released his album just the other day and it's called Radha, make sure to catch it I am hanging out with the one and only super producer, performer Kaguya Mungai What up Miskitinji? How are you? I'm good thank you, how are you? I'm amazing, I feel like it's my birthday today I mean you just said it's Kaguya Mungai's day, Radha day It's Radha day, it's Radha day I'm giving birth to a project that means so much to me today It's my birthday also Oh ya It's my second birthday That's okay, congratulations Kaguya, 15 tracks, 6 samples I really want to know, what was the inspo behind the samples because it's not something we see very much often Ya, I mean I don't think that there's very much sampling that goes on in Kenya Which I don't know the reason for But for me I wanted to be able to just celebrate the music that inspired me The music that continues to inspire other people There's a lot of songs in there like the mushrooms, the song called Nyambura Beautiful, beautiful song There's Isas, Mosmos, there's Gidi Gidi Magi Magi So there's a lot of music in there that inspired me growing up as a young boy listening to these jams On my radio and just jamming out That made me feel like wow I can do that one day So to be able to take these songs that my heroes made because they are my heroes That they made and then make music with that and make it my own version It's like a dream come true Do you feel your way of making music is because you started music And you have a different understanding from just having a talent Ya, I mean maybe it has to do with my education But I think that if you love something and you really want it then you go after it And so that for me has always been the way that I look at things Whether I'm going, like the way I love music Naifuatakama like every day The way I love my girlfriend, Lumpatiliya I taste her just like that So it's the same energy that is consistent like that How long did it take you know to just compile all these tracks? So this is kind of some, I think the oldest track here is from 2020 Ya, ya, so that's a one zero with Mayonde and Fennam Which has, I mean since 2020 and today it still sounds like it's a brand new song It doesn't feel like an old song, you know So that for me just also feels like the music grows and it becomes better with time Do you have our favourites? Ah, they are all my babies They are all my babies, they are all my babies It depends, some days when I'm in like a lovey-dovey mood And I want to tune my kabeb Then I can play for her songs like Bestie and East African Girls Because she likes those ones a lot But there are also some songs that are like now about mental health That are in there, a song called Lonely Which actually came to me in a dream at night I dreamt about the song and then it somehow figured out How to make it and like produce it and wrote it So there's a lot of different ones, I don't have a favourite I can't say a favourite But today my favourite is Rada And Rada represents the album What's the inspo behind the album That we just watched, the video of Rada that we just watched Again, I think number one it was just a fun video to do It was shot by Omoke Omoke who shoots a lot of amazing videos We've worked with him before on my song with Viri Safi Safi with Viri, he's the one who shot that video as well And we kind of just like sat down And were throwing around different ideas And we wanted to show just like a lot of them The way that we're trying to really elevate In terms of like concepts It doesn't have to be so literal It can be interesting I want people to watch it and feel That was so interesting to watch I want to watch it again Alright, so lately we've had a conversation online That Kenyans have a tendency Of supporting music that is not quality Do you feel you have the same sentiments And if not, do you actually feel Kenyans support quality music? You know, I've been hearing that debate And my opinion is that Maybe we don't have the kind of support That Nigeria has or that South Africa has But I can tell you now for free Today in 2023 There has never been more support For Kenyan music from Kenyans It's something that's growing Every day that somebody watching at home Who's going to watch this That will be like, wow, I want to do that The more that we do what we do The more others want to do it as well And we're encouraging guys to do it Get up, if you feel like you can do this You can be an artist, you can be a host Like yourself, right? Go up out there and chase it Because that's how our industry grows Let's talk about your baby Because you just launched that relationship Just the other day on social media But from the look of things from that video That you guys posted It looks like you guys have been together for a while Let me ask, what factors did you guys consider Deciding to come public What there are challenges that you thought you guys Were going to face but you're ready for that What factors did you consider? I think the important thing With those kind of relationships Is understanding that your partner Is your partner, you know You're not just dating for the sake of dating And I think we have a really good partnership Where we are each other's supporters I'm her biggest fan She's my biggest fan And we really support each other in that way And I want to see her win I want to support her as she wins I want to be a good partner to her And be able to grow our relationship In a very healthy way And so the reason why we kept it quiet Was because we wanted to kind of Form our relationship fast And get to know each other on a real, real level And then now share it with the world What are those three factors Or rather just qualities that you appreciate in Sharon? Oh wow I can't Three is too many It's too little Just three Too little Too little I know that's so many Honestly she's a really, really, really smart person Yeah she's I don't know if people understand how smart Sharon came one years Aside from her amazing heart And obviously she's stunning, gorgeous She's such a supportive friend And I think that's a thing I appreciate about her the most Is that we are friends That's my friend I call my friend when I'm stressed We talk about it She calls me when she's stressed And that's how we built the relationship I mean I saw the podcast that you guys did Was posted yesterday on her channel And you said that People used to mistake you as a girl When you were growing up Is there something that you really wanted to change Back then growing up? No I wouldn't say there was anything particular I wanted to change I was just so glad I never looked back I was like thank God for puberti Thank God for puberti I'm glad, I mean I got my mom's looks I look like my mom so that's why Alright as we wind up please tell your fans Where they should get your music Where they can stream it Guys I want to thank you all For watching this And for you as well For coming through today Rada is out now everywhere YouTube Spotify Apple Music Boom Play Mdundo Audio Max Zote Ziko Rada this is not an album For Kagu Mungai This is an album for Kenya And it celebrates Kenya And if you are somebody who celebrates Kenya You're going to love this album Thank you so much And congratulations once again Thank you so much Happy Rada Day Alright guys that was A song write up Of former Kagu Mungai right here At his press album launch Make sure you catch this song Especially Rada Because the visuals are out And let us know in the comment section How you found this interview My good name is Miskithinji Until next time Keep it at SpmBuzz
