First of all before we continue please translate what do you think because you know I don't understand like I said before it's just vibe it's just vibe it's vibe you know music now you don't need to be you don't need to take your music to serious like so you need to make people vibe to your song people in Kenya people in South Africa vibe to your song but something like this nobody can easily vibe it's not like a language it's just like a vibe it's just a vibe it's a vibe so I'd love to know a few things about you for instance your bio tell tell your fans about you as yourself you as an artist who's Jamul Piper is that even your real name? Jamul Piper is a artist from Nigeria signed to Zanku Records trying to be trying to be out everywhere because it's not easy right where I came from yeah so I'm just trying to do make sure we're out there that's why I'm here now so Jamul Piper is our whole team he's starting 10 years he's a Nazis you're not gonna get the hat off because you're not gonna get the hat off yeah we are not even planning on getting tired of you so so Jamul I'd love to know um before you decided to become an artist what were you doing and tell us a bit more about your background your background before music my background before music actually I started singing song I started singing um like 14 years old because uh then I used to watch some music in the tv so I just especially acorn songs I was like that like that uh-huh the guys in Nigeria are nice you know nice yeah I know nice but I don't have my song then all I do then is just sing your song yeah but I sing it in a way that people like it so I used to mime their song and sing sing sing sing so I notice if I'm singing people feel you do not yeah so in school I used to sing for my classmates then they used to contribute money for me to sing for them I was like for me to sing for my classmates struggling for them to bring out money I'm comfortable for me again people have money to pay for sure so I started singing singing singing I started going to locations uh morning flight and you know the boughs are embarrassed you know push you out throw you out start facing facing so I I actually recorded a song I was thinking after the song okay three months ago I don't know that I'm just starting because after recording this song all I do then is just on your bluetooth I send this song to you on your bluetooth so I don't know how many people do you have in this world how many people do you have in Nigeria did I want to send music to 1000 people bluetooth I was like oh this music thing is not easy because I don't know about online then I don't know how to put your song on Apple music I don't know how to do that so I met Slater on the streets then we started acting skits from the skits people blown and then you signed me nice so by first you had already uploaded your music and you had already uploaded your music before you were signed to Slater before I was it was not perfect before sign it was not perfect but I used to do that but it was not perfect before so I'd love to know how did you feel featuring Slater in your soul and how did you feel when you assigned to Zanko Evans actually I don't really feel any way because like I said I said we have been doing skits before we signed me so we have been together like three four years before we even signed so we get the relationship it's like a family something so getting signed to him is just like more okay because we started together let me just assist you to get to that it is well normal because of what he is now I feel good signing to his label okay so you made your debut in music you made your debut in music like you went let me say viral or it became more popular after you saw with Mayuko how did that feel for you I feel good because that was why I was working I was working to get a better result so having Mayuko on the song and get by that I was happy and I thank her for that okay so you told me uh in whatever in the question I asked you before you told me that you need to keep for comedy right so you're a comedian but I saw one video of yours on your Instagram for Manchester United you had placed a bet on your I don't know if it's Chevrolet Chevrolet yeah and how do you feel about us meeting us you know yesterday how was the feeling because I'm also Manchester United actually yeah actually yeah I'm sorry you have not seen your club meets I'm not your fan I'm a Chelsea fan how they did that for me how how how now now you used to come to me there you actually come to me there I saw you had Chelsea for life no I just used that because it was trending that day you made me act like you were a man I feel offended personally actually I did that to to preach my manager because she's a man you fan too is the manager the beautiful lady you walked in yeah she's my fan nice okay so stills like my new we actually love red right yeah so yes so how did you okay are you are you a comedian have you decided to like did you take your comedies the next level no you're a comedian I'm a Nazis but you do skip and you do funny skip like you know when you're trying to get help in this especially Nigeria industry not easy to be filmed to be famous so then we don't know what's going to be for us so we try to just bring everything together but now that the line is already it's already straight and I need to just focus on my music because then the music that I was doing then was not bringing anything nobody knows this song so I was just it's more like I used the comedy just to make people just know me that okay there's one guy Jamu then I was even behind Jamu Waya then because the guy that I was acting is cute with you know and small boy Shea Gungwaya one small boy that he asks question I said he wants to do yeah we are once you don't you come across that video that yeah the small boy that he asks what you want to do when you grow up that he said he wants to do yeah so because if guy be Shea Gungwaya so how to change my name to Jamu Waya just to tap so but now it's music so what else do you do professionally aside from music apart from music I do music I go to shows music is all I do I love the determination so I want to ask you being Zanko Records you have done you as an artist yourself you've done a couple of shows so I'd love to know what is that one show that made you feel like yes I am that artist I am the next big thing in the industry oh like the show I went for in what's it called the show I went for at the headies at the headies oh before the performance they were they were saying negative things about me on Twitter bullying me seeing you saying that because of my dressing so the interview I was having I was not talking loud so I was feeling bad already because we just started the show and this is happening but me going to the stage I asked my manager now what can we do at this stage because these people this Twitter you know how to trend on Twitter so she said the thing I can do now is just to go on that stage and do and perform well so on the whiskey everybody's table one thing that amazed me that day was before whiskey can stand up and clap for someone you've got to be really good it's a lot so that was my best performance that was my best performance so ever the vocals everything and it's a live performance not that the song is playing at the background no the live performance so that that's my biggest performance so far and I'd love to ask you when you and your team your management your whole team your friends your family when you got the news that you're nominated for the headies as rookie of the year alongside O'Malley and Tim alongside Bella alongside um oh what's it called bad boy team is not yeah I was happy because the year I was just that does he have blown so and getting that the same year so I was happy for that so I was happy and I appreciate that is how so you've come to Kenya meaning you have a lot of things lined up for us you have a lot of plans for us you're tapping into the Kenyan industry that and you're actually really receptive of night time music and we love it we listen to it I think 80 percent of the times when you're in clubs only whatever we are so you have some plans for the Kenyan industry what are those plans could you give us an exclusive oh I just want to penetrate in Kenya my kids I want to feature some artists in Kenya nice could you tell us some of the artists that you've been eyeing to feature because they're calling their name then they won't leave it it's okay it's okay we have all the time guys we have all the time we actually have all the time I just want to feature all the good all the good to the greatest artists in Kenya the good calligraph on your shinsi oh it's good because there are maybe a lot of our artists call themselves the good so so as far as the adequate and you could you can also tell the adequate yeah so you've started in Nairobi you have a couple of shows could you tell our fans so that they can attend the shows the specific shows and the venues yeah you're gonna post the detail of course it's on his Instagram guys I'll post it on my story there's a shoot tonight and on sunday onyx lounge onyx lounge yeah I'm gonna be there onyx lounge yeah I'm gonna come personally so you are mentioned I think that one of your inspirations is Davido have you ever been you have ever felt like Davido inspired you at some point because I was reading somewhere I was researching about you that Davido was an inspiration and I saw um you wished Davido a happy birthday anybody doing good definitely inspire you so Davido is doing good so he inspires me too so what's your relationship with Davido it's a nice relationship and I'd love to ask for the artists that you've worked with which artists can you say you know I vibe to this artist more and this artist really brings out some amazing energy you know the way you can have an amazing duo like when it comes to Drake and Nicki Minaj so which artist can you say our duo is just superb it's me ok and why is it the me of Legos because he delivered well on the on the song that maybe you delivered well so I feel I feel this vibe on the song so apart from you've mentioned bullying you mentioned bullying as one of the challenges you had when you're starting off and also it really you know put you in check a bit when you're at the head is so tell us a bit about the challenges you have faced as an artist from the time you've been in the industry the challenges I want to drop song on the drop song then I guess because you'd have been dropping song and people are vibing to definitely you want to drop something to go by too much so dropping songs get like I get scared a lot and I pretty love that because music is something else so I think that as a challenge is I used to having anytime I want to drop some of my mind goes up song has to be everywhere so for the foreign artist after your soul hits and goes viral and it does really good you feel like you're pressured to to the next song that you're releasing for you to make it bigger and better definitely you need to do that because you're working in a place before like you're working in a bank and then it's it's just like you're promotion anything you are doing you need to be you cannot promote them you can't drop song and song you are dropping if you want to drop before it's better and you want to just drop more you need to go higher higher so so as you come in inside the studio I asked um I was having a conversation with your manager and you are alongside her and she told me the climate here is really nice so would you consider living in Kenya yes I'm thinking I thought it was more like Nigeria so I'm thinking it's peaceful so I'd love to ask what that one thing you've always wanted to achieve as an artist I just want to be there I want to be everywhere you want to be everywhere yeah you want to be everywhere and that makes me wonder now that they've opened the borders and the corona has eased up a bit or we have gotten you know used to the fact that there's corona and we have to live with it are you planning on a tour am I are you planning to do to have a tour yeah definitely so next year it will be next year the other year so all the way my god today it's inshallah so I'd love to also ask um you've come to Kenya there is a very big comedian called Eric Komondi have you heard of Eric Komondi oh you haven't heard of him hey I was expecting for you to have heard of him and me to that I said you know because he he's the one who's advocating for a lot of things when it comes to the music industry yeah and so before we head on to anything else I'd love to ask you what are the stereotypes you've had about Kenyan women the stereotypes like things that you've heard about Kenyan women in terms of their behaviors I didn't I didn't really I've not really heard anything but I bought a couple of these I was in Kenya they're nice they're nice
