Boomba Clan » Exclusive Online Interview with - Boomba Clan
Never the less, I have followed this group off and on to see where they're going in the Kenyan music scene and beyond that. I started finding more videos later on YouTube and on MySpace that just kept me interested in their music. Besides their funny themes, the beats that they have created come across with a genuine Hip-Hop appeal that you can dance to and makes all their other songs a great hit in night-clubs throughout Kenya.

Dezyne » Interview with Rap Artiste - Dezyne
My name before this was PharaohD. It was a powerful name, but I felt like it was tainted by the music I made under it, so I followed the age-old African tradition of changing names when one finds a new path in life as a symbol of rebirth. To make things short, I sat down with a dictionary looking at words trying to find a meaningful one and when I reached "design" in the dictionary, it meant "creation, purpose in mind, work of art." So I changed the spelling and made it my name and ever since I've been "Dezyne."

Boys Choir of Kenya » Boys Choir of Kenya
A trip that I thought was going to be boring all the way to Nairobi, turned out to be a great socialising event with other Kenyans plus the free entertainment made it that much better. Well it did get even better then that actually. We flew on a Boeing 747 and there were only around 147 passengers. Meaning the plane was about half full after takeoff and many of the passengers including myself had five rows of seats for each passenger, making it easy to stretch out for the eight hour flight to Nairobi, Kenya.

Ida Onyango » Don't Stop - Won The Kisima Awards
At the age of ten Ida started singing and performing on her own and attending show cases where she won some and lost some. At the age of thirteen a Hollywood Producer who signed her to a recording contract for three years spotted her singing at a school function. Under this producer Ida blossomed and made several potential hit songs. The lack of finances to promote and market Ida was frustrating and at the age of fifteen she temporarily switched from music to acting.

Barnabas Wamao » Selections From The Congregation
My aim at the moment is to reach all my wonderful young people out there and let them know how sweet it is to be in church. Now if you've always liked church but have not been able to find somebody to support you, I'm making this for you and for the backsliders, Jesus will always Love you no matter what! Listen to that song "All To Jesus I Surrender" and indeed he does want you to give it all to him.

Jaywaka » I Can't Do Anything Without Music
I started singing and dancing at the age of seven in the church. I was a choirmaster. So, everyday I woke up, I can't do anything without music, I was also performing live whenever I had a chance. Later on my family realised that it was a talent, which no one could take away from me. So, my parents took me to Music School where I learned dancing and singing. After I joined my family in Germany, I did not go direct to Music School; I went to a German School to learn the language first before I took any further step.

Kate Ojiambo » Keeping It Real
The much-awaited official Kate MySpace page is finally here. Much to the delight of her fans who have been supporting her while in "absentia." In absentia because many had heard her music but not too many knew who lay behind that powerful voice. A voice, a character that is definitely one to watch out for, judging from the attention and buzz she seems to have so-notoriously mastered to create from her songs. Songs, most of which tend to favour the more controversial aspects of life, which she cleverly but honestly likes to refer to as "Keeping It Real."

VQEE » My Passion Had Begun
In the year 2000, I left for the United States and spent the next five years working with various theatre and stage artists on various projects. One such was (KALI MA) a ritual theatre experience that was produced by Emery Lauten, and which involved original poetry, dance, music and percussion. This was actually one of the richest experiences for me, because I was able to bring to the table elements of my own culture and fuse with new ones that I learnt.
