PRISON BREAKS

When Singer Dynamic came to East Africa and Kenya specifically during his tour there was much speculation about his career .This was due to his inability to deliver to his fans low crowd turn out during his shows.


In the website his viability in the music industry was questioned .After he went back to the States i sought to find out what he really thinks through an online interview.Below is the interview word for word between us.


Q1.Overally how were your shows in East Africa?
A.1 - well,l didnt expect them to be good shows from the promoters ideas & views,but l made the best of the time l was in east africa,l had great shows in meru and mombasa,and also in the clubs where l suprised lots of fans by showing up...

Q2.How did you feel while performing for the old crowd back in Kenya?was there a change?
A2 - l will always love & respect the kenyan crowd,they were the 1st to show me love by loving my music since back in 1996. the vybe was great and they all sang along to my songs which showed me that they truely follow my music.

Q3.What was the response from your fans?
A3 - the responce was great but mostly they wanted to show me that they truely love and appriciate the fact l didnt change my identity from ever since l left and went to the other side of the world.
Q4Was it to your expectations?(the fans response)
A4 - well,l dont go by expectations,l go with vybes,the vybes was nice.

Q5.How has the industry changed in Kenya since you relocated?
A5 - well,its more of a fast pace and more dancehall,l have nothing agaisnt change at all,l think change is good and it comes with a sense of growth. but l think the reggae ferternity in kenya needs to be more united.

Q6There are rumors that you are only a riddim artiste what is your opinion on that?
A6 - well,from my knowledge l have only recorded on about 5 different riddims,honestly l dont like recording on riddims,but l just go for what the riddim l listen to gives me,like my songs that are big in kenya,my fans in europe dont even know them,plus l dont only sing reggae,l sing afro-beat and r & b. l sing in 3 different languages,english,arabic and swahili,my songs in arabic and swahili are very very big in sudan,but you have never heard them played in kenya,so thats how l carry my self,this is why you see my touring from italy,germany,australia and back to the states.

Q7What are your recommendations for the Kenyan industry?
A7 - kenyan industry needs to concentrate more on developing the art of music than making money,l personally never came to kenya to make money,l dont need to come to kenya to make money,l feel like people concentrate more of other issues and leave a little percentate to the growth of ideas and ways to improve our own,there are so many talented artists in kenya who are only known in the east african community,thats kenya,uganda and tanzania,whenever they go to the western world to perform,its only east africans in the crowd,thats just not right,lets not hold back our artists & lets push them as much as we can,but also the artists need to produce good quality music that the people can be happy pushing,so its a way thing,help them to help you....

Q8What should your fans expect next?
A8 - well,now am working on alot of things,l got signed to a major lable and am trying to work on further materials,am getting in to acting and am already going to be in a big movie about sudan,so the sky is the limit for me,l do as much as l can because we only live once.

Q9When should we expect you back in Kenya?
A9 - well,a trip to kenya is not anytime soon for music,but for other things like family & my foundation called Yal Deh Foundation,l will be coming to east africa alot to work with kids and developing their skills in various ways.....
