KENYAN ACTS TO FEATURE IN CHANNEL O’S AFRICA DREAMING

A number of Kenyan acts will be features in Channel O’s new mini-feature dubbed Africa Dreaming which features both established African artists and rising stars sharing their vision for their home continent with audiences.

The list of acts already confirmed for the show include Juacali, Nonini and Wyre.







They will be joined by HHP (South Africa), P Square (Nigeria), Crisis (Zambia), D Black (Ghana), MI (Nigeria), Navio (Uganda) and Proverb (South Africa).

This part of Lee Kasumba’s new ideas for Channel O programming after her appointment as the new Channel Manager, talent seeker and African champion.







In a press interview, Lee said, “Our singers, songwriters and musicians, they are the voice of our generation, of Africa. So we thought it would be great for them to tell us their visions, hopes, dreams, aspirations. It’s what drives their music so we feel fans should see it. We’re delighted with the results – it’s inspirational, heartfelt and uplifting. They have such dreams for the continent, it’s amazing. And they were all so supportive.”

SAMSUNG ZIKI STAR SETS EYES ON ENTERTAINMENT LAW

Lyra Aoko the winner of Samsung Zikistars talent search left the country on Wednesday June 22 to study Law in Malaysia, a day after her listening party in Nairobi.
Lyra told Hot Secrets that despite her studies, music is her first love, “it has always been my passion, I will definitely make time for it and you never know I might just take entertainment law.”



After her win, Lyra recorded a song with Wyre the Love Child titled Happy, which they performed together on Tuesday night at the listening party held at Galileo.
The video shot by Ogopa DJs has been released. The 18-year-old also earned the title of Samsung Zikistar Ambassador.



She was nicknamed Yvonne Chaka Chaka for her musical dexterity, she attributes her exposure to the industry to Sauti Sol’s Polycarp Otieno who gave her the chance to sing back up for the all-male boy group during their major gigs for a number of months.

WYRE AND LINDA MUTHAMA ROCK ONE MUSIC NITE

It was yet another night full of entertainment and fun at the sixth edition of 1 Music Nite that went down at the popular soccer city at K1 recently. To headline the show was former Tusker Project Fame’s runners-up Linda Muthama and Dancehall star, Wyre The Love Child.
The two got the crowd on their feet all night and in a musical frenzy.
Linda who was backed by the Ultimate Band gave an electrifying performance with singles off her album Imaginations that she recently released at Galileo Lounge in Westlands.





Wyre who was the final act of the night did not fail to impress. He entertained the crowd with his hit songs Chuki, Make A Choice and Uprising. The highlight of the night was the duo performance of Wyre and veteran Mugithi star JB Maina.



They took over the stage and the hearts of the fans when they performed the remake of the popular mugithi hit Tiga Kumute, which its recently remixed version by the duo and renamed Mwanake.
“Who would ever imagine me doing a collabo with a Mugithi artist ?” asked Wyre .” I’m planning to do some more songs with JB in the next few months. I must say. It’s was an honor to work with a legendary artiste like him.”



The event ended on a high note as JB continued to entertained revelers with his famous Mugithi tunes.
1 Music Nite is a weekly event that runs every Sunday and its main aim is to give a platform to both established and up and coming artists.

WYRE AND CECILE'S MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT FOR SHE SAY DAT!

Dancehall stars Ce’cile and Wyre shot the music video to the remix of the song She Say Dat on Sunday at the Film Studios.
Jamaica's Bad Gyal and Kenya's Love Child heated up the set of the music video to the salacious remix. However they were short for time as Ce'cile's was scheduled to be at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 8pm and the shoot had began a few minutes past 6pm.


Wyre told Hot Secrets, the reason he chose She Say Dat for a remix is because, “I wanted a club banger and I know she (Ce'cile) would carry the storyline well.”
The video will also premiere Wyre and Airforce's new dance style called Kode. The video is shot and directed by Thome of Boomba Videos.
Anyho, here are some of the behind the scene photos from the shoot.

WYRE SCOOPS NIGERIA’S SOUND CITY AWARD IN ABSENTIA

Wyre and Tu Face at a past event

Wyre the Love Child was awarded the Best East African act late last month in the Sound City awards held in Nigeria.
The awards, which are meant to bridge the gap in African music to the rest of the world, took place on November 20 in Lagos. “I'm really excited about clinching the award. There was some stiff competition in my category, but I thank God for coming through,” he told Hot Secrets.
The Sina Makosa star did not attend the ceremony saying, “I was scheduled to attend a music workshop prior to my invitation, but my agent in Nigeria attended the awards and accepted it on my behalf.”
Another Kenyan who was nominated for the awards has a bone to pick with the organisers. Yvonne Darcq who was nominated in the best RnB category said, “The event organizers have been avoiding us and cut contacts with us yet they claim we are part of the awards,” adding that, the organizers failed to send flight tickets to facilitate for their travel to Lagos for the ceremony.



Anyhow, Wyre believes his win validates his entry into the West African market. “I think doors are definitely opening up for me in the Nigerian market. Winning this award leaves me no doubt about it. I've done a collaboration album with a number of Nigerian artists scheduled for release this December. It features P-Square, Banky W, MI, Kel, Faze and Malam Spicey. I'm sure this will help me solidify my market there.”

LUTAN FYAH SUPORTS KENYA’S GREENFEST CAMPAIGN

Reggae act Lutan Faya has joined the GreenFest campaign, a Kenyan initiative to save the planet through music. The reggae act, will be joining a host of other Kenyan stars for the 3-day music and arts festival December 31 to January 2, 2011.
The festival is an emerging annual new life festival that hopes to encourage young adults and the creative industry at large to take on and address the most serious and potentially dangerous consequences to their health and well being caused by Climate Change through music, arts, culture and interactions.
However signing Lutan to the cause has not been easy. The organizer Henry Kioko a.k.a Carlos Henry told Hot Secrets that, some promoters in Kenya are calling Lutan’s agent Ra-Umi Alkebulan to shortchange him.
“There are some people already calling Alkebulan from Kenya and seeking deals with Lutan. Kenyans are funny crooks. He was so surprised people would call him instead of working with us. We are the exclusive agents. We shall sell Lutan in Kampala, Zimbabwe and South Africa.”
Currently Lutan is getting heavy rotation on Fm Radio stations for his hits like Jail, Looking Hot, Mighty Mouth, Give Thanks featuring I Wayne and One Life. The other acts also signed for the cause include Wyre the Love Child and Mutinda.

Here is a short message from the man himself:-
