As Jose Chameleone and brother Pallaso continue to make out during their performance – there are other Ugandan artists busy composing music and dropping new songs to capture East African audience.<\/p>\n

However I also understand that many will say that the two brothers are doing this for clout….which is working but in the end all they get is negative responses or are risking to get cancelled by their own fans.<\/p>\n

With that said, this is why we now have artists like Payitone fighting for a spot in the kenyan music market….and judging from the numbers on his YT videos so far – lets just say the artist is doing something with his music.<\/p>\n

Payitone taking over music industry<\/h3>\n

However before getting where he is today, Payitone says life hasn’t been so easy for him since coming to Nairobi. Actually want he says is that the first time he visited Kenya, he was not only mugged off his belongings but had to live in the streets like a homeless person.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Payitone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received my first welcome in the capital by thugs, who attacked me and stole everything I had.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The reason he couldn’t go back home is because life there was harder compared to living in the streets….but after such an experience he started familiarizing himself with Nairobi….and now,has managed to pull through.<\/p>\n

For this reason, Payitone has 3 successful songs growing big in the music market….which means he is not only a threat to the sleeping kenyan musicians but to other East African artists neglecting their fans.<\/p>\n

Well they say, all a man needs to get where he wants is determination and effort – and look, payitone is now making news.<\/p>\n
