 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing next to one of an amazing human being. First of all, Chicky, Abalman's wife. That's correct. Bold wife. Really? Bold wife. Bold wife. No, Chicky. Congratulations for the amazing show. SoFest, it will remain as one of my favorite show in 2023. What was the feeling? What came in your mind when you guys came back? Came on with an idea of having a SoFest. I mean, I think SoFest was always going to happen because SoFest 1, SoFest 2, SoFest 3 and of course because the boys are going on hiatus. That was always going to happen. How long were you guys preparing for this? I think I started choreographing the show four months ago with my assistant. And then we had the boys in rehearsals for the last three months with the dancers. Yeah, so yeah, four, three, four months. You play a bigger role for the artists, you know. You always make sure they are in the right mind, you know. Getting the right, maybe the right team for the right, everything right. From the setup, from the security, from the vendors and everyone. How long did it take you guys to prepare this? Because it's a success for me. Yeah, I mean, like I said, I think everyone had their own department. So mine was just choreography and performance. But I think, yeah, from the production team, Kabruthan, Zahida, Moriasi. Again, they've been in meetings for almost eight months. Making sure that their vendors and everything was ready. The band also been in rehearsals for the last four, five months. We have been on ground for an entire week. And before then we were rehearsing in carnival. Just so that we make sure that we could block and have a proper stage experience. So yeah, it's been a long time coming. Did you guys feel pressure to deliver? I think I would always feel pressure to deliver. Because when you're married to one of the artists, you never want it to feel like you got the gig because it's your husband. So for me, I always really try and push myself even more. So the results are unquestionable. So it's not just like, ah, that's just because it's his wife, you know. So for sure, I 100% know that the boys will have felt pressure to give an incredible show because they always do. Zahida and Kabruthan were the main organisers. Phenomenal women, it's the first time that they've taken over Solfest. So I also think for them, they just really wanted to come and prove that they could do a good quality experience for the audience. No, you being very close to BN. I believe there's a lot of things running across BN's mind. What is it one thing maybe you feel like it was kind of, you know, disturbing BN when it comes to Solfest? I think a good wife never tells. Come on. You have to ask that question to BN. No, what is it that you're making sure that BN gets his right for the show? I mean, BN's a superstar, honestly. I think, however, the fact that he has an album coming out on the 17th of November, make sure you get the presaver link, Elusa Waiutopolis. I think the fact that he's balancing both things at the same time, that's incredibly difficult because it means that the album processes has all the songs been mixed, have all the songs been mastered, do the back ends have the songs uploaded, all of this kind of technical stuff, then have music videos been shot, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then at the same time, am I showing up for my brothers? Am I coming through for Solfest? So I think balancing those two things was... Very, very good to hear. I bet maybe Rituals believe you guys maybe come up pray before someone goes on stage. Yeah, so we have a prayer. On the stage, they said that the team was like about 200 people. So it's so beautiful because you just see 200 people coming together in prayer to... Yeah, I really hope that the show goes well. All right. I'm not going to say the other Ritual because it's going to start trending. As I wind up, maybe, just to understand this, what is your favorite South Seoul song? How do you choose a favorite South Seoul song, honestly? You have that one in the repeat. So I think the beautiful thing about South Seoul is you have a new favorite song every month, every six months. You listen to old albums. You're like, oh, my God, I forgot how much I love this song. I think then breaking down the show into era one, era two, era three was also so nice. It reminded you, oh, my God, I love that song. Oh, my God, I love that song. So I... Come on. Beans? Beans. I don't know. Come on. I don't know. So you think we go home, sit in bed, they push your favorite song. That is not how our life works. All right, all right. Now, Chicky, I know you're coming through to South Seoul family. You've changed their life in one way or another. Maybe they've impacted your life in one way or another, baby. What is that thing you've learned from South Seoul members? Brotherhood. I think what's so special about South Seoul is they put their brotherhood before anything. And the more I travel, the more I see different artists. The more I know how rare that is. Like, you'll be surprised. So many bands and groups, they don't like each other. But South East all love each other very, very dearly. I don't think a week goes by without someone in my house, us in someone's house. You know, all of our spouses are very close together as well. So the brotherhood is real. Brotherhood is real? Yeah. No. Will this be the end of South Seoul? No. No. So the last one? It's a hiatus, which means that they're going to come back bigger, badder, stronger. I mean, come on. What's the world without South East? There's no any other South Seoul. There's no any other South Seoul. All right, maybe a message to South Seoul members and specifically to BM. Specifically, you said no. Let me do a message to all South Seoul members. I love you. I'm proud of you. Enjoy your break. You deserve it. And hurry up and come back. To the fans that I've shown up in numbers. Oh my God. Beautiful. I was in the audience and I was here with my mum. And my mum had had a few drinks, too many. And my mum has danced with everyone. So if you dance with my mum, honestly, thank you because my mum's like pulling everyone in, dancing with people. I kept saying to her, watch your phone, watch your phone because she's filming people she doesn't know. So yeah, if you dance with my mum, thank you very much. But yeah, for showing up, for showing out, always thank you. Always. What is the feeling to have your mum here to support your husband? Beautiful. Both BM and I are the same in the sense that family means everything to us. Our mums mean everything to us. So my mum sees Bien as her son just as much as she sees me as her daughter. So for her, it was a no brainer. You've been pushing for Bien to achieve a lot in the industry, the music industry. Maybe, do you think it's high time now Bien to relocate maybe UK? Maybe focus on the music in the UK because I've seen you pushing Bien across the world. Yeah, we have. Is UK the ideal place maybe for Bien to? No. Kenya is home. Kenya is beautiful. I think if you ever spent any time in the UK, it's nice for a week, two weeks, three weeks. And then it's like, let's go. But yes, definitely this next year, you're going to see Bien travelling a lot more because we have an album. We need to promote the album. We need to push the album. That means radio interviews in different countries. Bien is the first East African artist to chart in the UK. And that's just because we spent a lot of time on ground. So yeah, we will be on the move a lot. But we will never leave Kenya. Kenya is home. All right. Maybe to our fans, but you remind them about Alusa. So Alusa, why are you topless? It's out on the 17th of November. It is Bien's first album. So many people think he's already had a project out because he's had so many singles and he had his EP. But no, it's his first album. It's beautiful. It has been a year's worth of work. There's collaborations from different people, different countries. It's produced by an amazing producer. I'm not going to give the spoiler just yet. And just watch this space. It's a gorgeous album. All right. Thank you so much, Ike. Thank you. Hope to see you many more years to come. Amen. God bless you. Thank you.
