The Most Expensive Kenyan Performer Is…

The market for performers has been booming of late, especially with the entry of big corporates like Safaricom, who have recently come into the entertainment industry with a bang. This has led to entertainers charging an arm and a leg to have them show up at an event.

The cost of doing concerts has began to flabbergast promoters! The musicians have all started quoting six figures, the lowest being 150,000 KShs for a normal club event. This turn of events comes after a time when people were used to paying celebs below 50k to show up. But the corporates are willing to stump up the cash, so now its a different game altogether.

The most expensive entertainer right now is Redsan, who charges 600,000 Kenya Shillings for a club appearance. He is known to believe in laying low, and only coming out for the biggest events, so this tactic suits him well. For what it’s worth, he usually shuts it down when he comes on stage, so the value for money is evident.
