Find Out How This Kenyan Artist Collaboed With A Ugandan Without Meeting Him

Hottie has been away from the music scene for a minute.

I remember when she came out with the hit song “African Bam Bam” I was feeling that one. But she took a break from the studio, where she had another job, and was hosting karaoke gigs around Nairobi. Now she’s back with a new track called ‘Ona Sasa’ featuring Ugandan artist ‘Mith.’

I caught up with her to give me the low down on how they made this collabo happen at Homeboyz, and this is what she told me:

“Challenges I faced was travelling from home to shoot the video in UG. Was apprehensive cause I had featured an artist I had not met on the song, but whose skills I admired, being a member of the hip hop group Klear Kut. I sent a demo to the Mith,he loved it. Challenging in the beginning as we did most of the work separately and online, and only met for the 1st time during the video shoot. We had to shoot till the wee hours of the morning, their entire team were great & supportive. Been away from the Kenyan music scene due to school & work commitments but still having the passion to make music,I have been actively involved in the music scene in Vienna(where she is currently based). I have a band called Mashariki (we perform around Europe) & I’m currently putting final touches to my album that will feature some great artistes in Kenya & from different places around the world. I intend to launch it at home this year.”
