Kelechi Africana, a renowned musician, singer, songwriter, and producer from Kenya, recently shared valuable advice for fellow artists.
During an interview on Radio 47's Baze na Manucho show on August 30, 2023, he emphasized the importance of aligning the message in a song with the artist's current situation for it to resonate and become a hit truly.
According to Africana, the key to creating impactful music is ensuring that the song's message reflects the artist's personal experiences and circumstances. "For your song to hit, the message should go hand in hand with the situation you find yourself in," he stated.
This authenticity allows listeners to connect with the artist deeper, enhancing the song's impact and potential for success.

Africana's journey in the music industry began when he worked as a teacher before joining the Wasojali band, a Coastal-based musical group. With this band, he released his first single titled "Nitalia Nawe," which achieved remarkable success. Although the band eventually disbanded, Africana continued to pursue his musical career.
His breakthrough came with the release of the single "Ring," a song he says was written as he was walking down the aisle. The track propelled his career to new heights, garnering over 2 million views on YouTube and introducing him to a broader audience. People began to recognize him through this captivating song.
Since then, Africana has transcended borders, often mistaken for a Tanzanian artist due to his versatility and cross-cultural appeal. He has collaborated with various artists from both Kenya and Tanzania, including Nyota Ndogo, Mr. Blue, Maua Sama, Arrow Bwoy, and many others.
