Tell us what you’ve been up to since you won that Tusker money
I have been working very hard, trying to launch my singing career. I have been in Nairobi working with producer R-Kay after being recommended by Gallo Records.
But we haven’t seen or heard what you have released yet!
(Laughs) Haven’t yet listened to my song, Nsangi? It has been out for a while now. Get on the ground, man! Anyway, when you are working with a big label like Gallo Records, you can’t rush anything. It takes time. For instance, after recording any song with R-Kay, final touches had to be done in South Africa.
Okay, lets leave that bit. Tell us how the ladies have been chasing you since you won the money.
How did you know they have been after me? I guess you must be aware that when one gets into the limelight, they get a lot of attention, especially from the ladies.
Give us examples of how women have specifically chased after you.
I have had women and girls, both in Uganda and in Nairobi, saying they love me and promise to do anything to have an evening with me. God! Some have even asked me to buy them stuff because they know I won lots of money.
Does that mean you have been having fun with many women?
Not really. You see, you have to be wise when you get into that position. It is a tricky position because such women can get you into trouble. Some of the ladies are so hot. But how can someone just claim to be in love yet she knows nothing about you? Rather than fun, I have actually had a lot of trouble with them. But they are my fans and I have to be calm and sweet.
You speak as if you are in a serious relationship with someone. Otherwise, I think you would have been on rampage.
Yeah, there is someone in my life. Only, she loves her privacy and doesn’t want our relationship to become a public issue, so I will not tell you her name, where she lives or what she does. Just know I have someone.
But if no one knows this mystery woman, we might as well assume she exists in your dreams.
Well, the choice is yours. But at least I know she exists. And some members of my family, particularly my siblings, have met her. I have also met some people in her family.
Okay, tell us how you met and how long you have been with her.
I have been with her for about five months, but I have known her for almost four years. Previously we were just friends and would meet only to say hi. We took things to another level recently after I told her how I felt about her.
When do you expect to formalise your relationship with this mystery lady?
It depends on when she is ready. Otherwise, I am ready to do it even next week. I want to settle down because at 26, I think time is catching up with me. My family takes these things seriously. They don’t expect me to mess up out of wedlock.
Since we don’t know this mystery woman, tell us about your ideal woman. We may get a rough picture of her from the qualities you give.
First, she has to be God-fearing. Maybe everyone says that, but given my family background, I really mean God-fearing when I say it. Then she also has to be intelligent, loving and caring, and ready to have kids immediately. She also has to understand that my business is showbiz and so on stage, I belong to my fans. She should also not listen to rumours that come with my kind of work.
Nothing about physical beauty?
Not really. I don’t mind size. Fat, portable, tall or short are not an issue with me.
Is there any particular celebrity whose relationship you admire?
The Kenyan couple of Wahu and Nameless. I know them personally and I like the fact that although both are superstars, once they are at home, they take off their celebrity jackets and behave like normal people.
You won some good amount from Project Fame. What is your take on the role of money in a relationship?
Honestly, money is necessary in a relationship, but it can only compliment the relationship. But relationships built around money are bound to collapse.
