It is like the first day in a new job—a creative's journey—you hurtle through it like shards piercing the air in an explosion.
You start by imagining that you will fill a stadium, or that your art will be displayed in world galleries, or that your writing will win you a Nobel Peace Prize.
You know what they tell you, work hard. Be consistent. What they don't say is that, working hard is hard. Hard work is hard work. In fact there is no harder work than hard work.
Consistency is the other word they throw around like confetti! You can almost tell when someone is about to tell you to be consistent in your craft. You hear so many times you want to choke.
Kamanu, had a dream. To become one of the region's biggest musical act. So, he got to studio and produced music. Then took around his CD's to music shops.
Nobody would buy his music, and so he sent his friends to buy music from the distributors with his money. I guess it is true what they say, the best support is self support. He would then produce more music and send his friends with more of his money to buy his music. Believe in yourself! Even when you are lying to yourself, just believe in yourself. Ha-ha.
On this episode, we discovered there are two ways to live in this country, sit and watch Akothe do her thing. Or be part of the thing that Akothe is doing and let others sit and watch you.
Kamanu took us through his musical journey. He also, called bluff the people that say Meru people can't sing.
Well, they sing, but only if they see a guitar around. The problem has always been lack of guitars. Kamanu and Meru's Governor in love are proof that Meru got talent and that talent is anchored on the stringed instrument.
