Re-imagine your world

The only thing that matters to me is my twins happiness, so my only goal is to achieve the highest level love for them in their lives. Professionally in 5 years I would love to have completed 2 albums, shot videos all over Tanzania and been able to share my music with more people.

How do you channel your creative energy?

I channel my creative energy through visualization, meditation, being in nature and also creating other art such as painting, drawing or singing, playing guitar or playing piano.

What’s the difference from when you started to present?

When I started doing music in college I was in a band and so I would do a lot of live shows, and now with a global pandemic that really isn’t possible. Another huge change is how things are progressing in the world and how life is imitating art, especially in these times, is really different from before the pandemic and art is reflecting that.

What are your views on the current East African music scene? What opportunities are available & what can be done to improve

I think the East African music scene is very competitive and creative and I’m a huge fan of many artists from East Africa. Since there is so much competition I think there is a lot of opportunities as well but you have to be very sharp in order to get them, and I appreciate that.

What’s your advice on how artists can better use digital transformation to promote their projects & reach global audience?

I definitely think that people should utilize social media in a human way to be relatable to people. I fell like sometimes musicians, the lifestyle on social media gets to be too dishonest and most people can’t really relate to that.

My only advice to other artists, would be to get back to basics as far as how to connect with people and get them to listen to your music, off the strength of the real you
