  • Kenyan singer-songwriter TheOnlyRosa's music is influenced by 90s Pop music. Her melodic style reflects her love for African Soul and R&B. A career in music was always on the horizon for her as she started writing songs at the age of 12 and everybody she met was struck by her vocals and encouraged her to take music as a profession. Her proficiency in languages was an advantage as she could also write songs in Swahili and Chinese. She is also a visual artist and loves painting and drawing just as much as singing.

    TheOnlyRosa is today one of Kenya's most distinct urban and pop artists. Her ability to tug her fans' heartstrings with her sweet vocals, witty storytelling and captivating performances has made her a household name. In this interview, we both discover that we share a first name (at least parts of it) and a very similar story on personal identity and how that either gives or takes away your self confidence.

    Rosa's discography includes 'Original Copy', 'Waves' EP (2020) and 'ROSA LAND' album (2022).

  • Akoth Jumadi’s music explores themes of love, healing, spiritual emancipation, political liberation and cultural integration in the arts. She started playing at Maseno University in Kisumu, when a friend gave her a subtle nudge by gifting her a guitar. Under the tutelage of a veteran guitarist, she started her journey as a musician. Over time an urge to explore more forms of musicality, she taught herself bass guitar to express her love for funk and jazz, inspired by Esperanza Spalding and her Luo roots called her to the nyatiti, an 8-stringed Luo lute that is traditionally only played by men. Under the guidance of Ati Sanaa, another female nyatiti player, Jumadi took steps that her grandfather had traced many years (he was a nyatiti player).

You are just about to be conned.” It’s almost her second nature how fast she is able to decipher what’s happening.

  • Born in Nairobi and hailing from the Nilotic tribes of Kenya, Adelaide singer, rapper, and producer Elsy Wameyo embraces her cultural heritage through her 2022 groundbreaking EP 'Nilotic' and will continue on the journey this year with the release of her LP 'Saint Sinner' - scheduled for release later on in the year. "Sinner" and "Piny Lara" singles have already been released as a lead up to this anticipated project.

    Her soulful rhythms and impressive production lay the foundation for energetic and insightful lyrics, which pose questions to current societal boundaries and perceptions. 

    Self-producing her own work and exploring new production techniques has led Elsy Wameyo to find her own style and control in sonic direction. This approach compliments a fusion of gospel and traditional sacred sounds that shape Elsy’s musical vision, alongside a force of contemporary hip-hop and R&B influences.

    Previously, Elsy has shared stages with artists such as Sampa the Great, Genesis Owusu, Ruel and Adrian Eagle. She adds to this with previous festival appearances at Groovin’ The Moo, St Jerome's Laneway Festival, and her hometown Adelaide’s WOMAD. Most recently, Elsy took her 7-piece band to Strawberry Fields, followed by a special VIVID LIVE show alongside Mo’Ju and two special debut appearances at Dark Mofo. She finished her debut tour whilst also touring nationally with the Hilltop Hoods.

    Her forthcoming album ‘Saint Sinner’ is a story of redemption, a search for discipline and meaning in a world seemingly devoid of it ...

  • An opportunity arises to meet Tina Ardor who I have saved on my phone as Christina DJ when she calls me to book an interview on my podcast for DJ Sbu. This would be a few weeks before her collaboration with DJ Sbu “I’ll Be There”- a mesmerizing Deep House drops. It’s only until she comes to the interview is when I realize that Christina the DJ is Tina Ardor. Somehow, she manages to keep it on the low keep despite the fact that the inner workings are making a ripple effect in the industry – all way from Kenya, South Africa and to the world.

    I have to have her on the podcast – I tell myself and she’s not an easy one to pin down because she’s assertive, knows what she wants but is shy when it comes to interviews and self-promotion. Glad VIP ACCESS got the access.

    Tina Ardor is a singer, songwriter, composer and DJ based in Nairobi, Kenya. Music has always been an integral part of her life since childhood, and performance through song and dance an innate gift. Tina Ardor draws great inspiration in her creativity from the linguistic diversity of cultural groups and Kenya’s 44 tribes. Feeding off the African spirit, Tina Ardor has collaborated with different artists/producers from around the world on various musical works. 

    She recently teamed up with her siblings MGM Kenya (DJ/Producer) and Gabriel (UI/UX designer) to launch MIGATI Music, a new record label based in Kenya, curated by the sibling trio.
