That’s how some of us are able to follow and relate his and our music journey.If he only knew how God used him to impact Kenya 🇰🇪 music Industry. Thanks.

[@ayotadhiambo]

21:42 This is the beauty of Intellectual Property Management. Protecting intellectual property can lead to financial benefits for creatives. By controlling the use and distribution of their works, they can negotiate licensing agreements, secure royalties, and receive compensation for authorized use. This can contribute to their income and financial stability. How I wish we would experience the same in the Kenyan Music Industry...I believe we can follow in the footsteps of the US, UK, and South Africa

[@simulizizadudumizi8417]

You actually turned that 6:00 -6:30 into prime time. We always looked forward to Kass-Kass, Jam a Delic and Rastrut!
