Kibaki upbeat about career

Kibaki is overjoyed about the response to his latest single, Mama on the Sweet Music label.

“The feedback incredible so far, everybody ah ask mi about a video for the Mama song. People ah respond to it, and when it drop on the radio, people ah go crazy over it. So the video ah the next thing inna the pipeline,” he said.

The deejay believes that his career is finally taking off because he just inked a recording and booking deal with US-based label DMG.

“People knew that I had the talent, but I never got the promotion, but now mi have the platform to get full promotion. That happened because I have been signed to a label for the first time, and getting a whole team to make the thing work. It is important to have proper management,” he said.

Raised in Grants Pen, he attended Shortwood Practising School and Dunoon Technical. After graduating, he played for Constant Spring Football Club from 1997 to 1998. But music remained his first love.

Kibaki recorded his first song in 1999. He continued to record music, scoring minor hits Jah Jah Never Fail I Yet and Jah Jah Children Beware.

“Now that mi have the proper representation, mi a look fi great things in my future,” he said.
