Redsan Explains Why He Sings With A Jamaican Accent

Redsan is arguably one of the most successful international artists Kenya has ever produced. He shares his secret:

“I couldn’t go into the international market with just the Swahili that I was singing. You know, many people didn’t understand that. Right now, they’re trying to grasp, and trying to learn about it, but you know, in order to get the attention, you’ve got to appeal to them, doing something they understand, and that’s why the last two albums were actually international albums.”
