This is a special moment for me.”
He further went on to commend the studio for helping artistes benefit from the mash ups.
“I would like to commend Coke Studio Africa for this great opportunity. As an artiste with experience in African music entertainment, I know the struggle of artistes and see the difference and challenges in East Africa and thanks to Coke Studio Africa – everyone benefits.”
