Man Wazimu Needs Airtime

The Kenyan music industry may not be as competitive as it is in other markets but artistes still have a hard time breaking through. The main problem is usually capital, finding recording studios and video producers. Even then, convincing TV stations to play your music becomes a hassle.

But in this technological age of cheap (free) software, anyone can produce their music and even shoot their own videos. Marketing stuff online is easier, if you can figure out a way to convince people to check out your music.

Man Wazimu is not a household name in the entertainment industry but he already has an album out. You can find a number of his tracks and videos on YouTube. Mr. Wazimu has totally bypassed the mainstream channels to get his work out. He even performed at Just-A-Band’s Kudishnyao concert last year, where he performed his most famous track, Emergency Pills.

Here is another one of his creations, a song about Nyeri women, titled Airtime. Nyang’anyaooo!
