Friday’s edition of the Trend hostd by Amina Abdi Rabar kicked off with four live interviews of amazing artistes all live from various locations.

The guests that joined in live included Jose Chameleone from Uganda, DJ Neptune from Nigeria, Tome from Canada and Elsa Majimbo from Nairobi.

Jose Chameleone

The Ugandan superstar dubbed the chameleon that never changes was live straight from his home, he appeared wearing a shirt written ANC (African National Congress) with the face of Nelson Mandela printed on it showing his love for the iconic African leader.

He however swayed away from answering if he would ever join politics. He looked back on his relation with Kenya from his hit song Bageya featuring Redsan released in the year 2000 under Ogopa DJs to places like Kayole, Kawangware, Imara Daima, South B and C among other hoods he visited while he was starting it out in music.

On how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected him and his gigs, he said “It has affected me a lot but I am glad we are all moving forward, I had various shows lined up all over and from this I have lost over 100Million Ugshs.”

Dj Neptune

Fresh after releasing the hit single “nobody” featuring Joeboy and Mr Eazi, off his second album that was set to be out in April but was postponed, he revealed that he was a self-taught deejay from Lagos.

“As a performer I am not used to being at home and not going out and doing what I love most and this whole Covid-19 pandemic has taught me to be proud of what I have and enjoy life” said Dj Neptune.

He revealed that he got his name because he used to play a lot of music by the The Neptunes, a duo of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, and when he was in clubs people would say “here comes the Neptunes guy” and he decided to keep the name.

DJ Neptune even did a small set after his interview and started off with the hit banger “Utawezana” by Femi One and Meja showing off his love for Kenyan music before moving on to other African hits.

Tome

Tome has been making music since she was 8 and her music can be described as afro fusion as she incorporates the afro beat which has been a big influence to her.

She said she enjoys performing on stage but she still finds writing more therapeutic.
