Emmy Kosgey Pens An Emotional Tribute About Her Fallen Long Time Producer, John Nyika
The celebrated producer passed on last week after complaining of chest pains which prompted him to visit a nearby clinic where, upon arrival, he perished due to a massive heart attack.
John Nyika is remembered as one of the producers who made great artists in Kenya, among them celebrated singer Emmy Kosgey, Betty Bayo and many more.
His demise came as a shock to everyone, including the artists he built. But Emmy, particularly, has every reason to mourn deeply for the fallen producer who she worked under for more than 10 years adnwho produced almost all her music.
Emmy has taken to her facebook page to pen an emotional tribute to the fallen producer, saying she cannot believe that Nyika is gone, gone too soon!
