NEW MUSIC ALERT- 'Don't Be Shy'

 

                                                                                                                                                               

I’ve always had a problem with Kenyan music. I’ve never understood why a song would hit just because somebody doesn’t want to move two centimeters away or just because ‘wanavuka boda’. Maybe am just an old young man who think good music is restricted to country music or Zilizopendwa. 

 

I know I can’t sing to save my life. That’s a slight exaggeration though. I’m not that bad. Just ask my shower. She’s heard me sing, those deep soprano songs that even Bruno Mars would have a hard time pulling. 

I’ve always loved singing. I remember when I was a kid, we used to form a family choir for special events like New Year.  Back then my voice was as soft as Mzee Byudeh’s, but it didn’t deter me from singing in ‘base’. In my head it must have sounded deep and masculine.  Looking back I don’t want to imagine how I sounded like. That’s what happens when you have sly sisters leading you on to make a fool of yourself.

In my adult life, I’ve made minimal contacts with the mic; when not inebriated I must add. The last time I sang was in Nyeri. It was a karaoke session. Trust free shots, the presence of unfamiliar faces and a little nudge from bad friends to make a guy climb to the podium and ‘wow’ akina Njeri with lyrics from the lakeside.

Today, however is not about my stillborn music career. Today is about my friend Ray Sterh Keyz who’s launching a new song. Sorry, he would prefer I say, ‘he’s dropping a fresh dope single’. Fresh it surely is. He recently sent me a link to listen to his first song, ‘The Promise’ and in the words of Maina Kageni it was absolutely fantabolous. Why lie? Here's the lyrical video and audio . Be thine own judge.

In collaboration with his friend Chill Darapper, Ray Sterh Keyz (fancy names, right) is planning on releasing another single next month. I know the world of links has made it almost archaic to visit music stores but this is one guy you wanna support. 

Don't be confused by the fancy names, Ray is just a Luo from Sega, hapo 2 karibu na Chief's Camp.

Tittle: Don't Be Shy

After his success debut last year, RnB singer Ray Sterh Keyz is set to release a new single early next month.

The song dubbed ‘’Don’t be shy’’ which features his long time rapper friend Chill Darapper will be a fusion of Afro-Pop/Rnb and Rap. It’s something which is set to light up the Kenyan music scene.

The song which will be produced by Producer Melody of the Afrikan Touch Production has so far drawn so much attention from the two artistes fans both on Twitter and Facebook.

Ray Sterh Keyz was set to release his second studio single during the end of last year but had to postpone it due to the fact that he did the song under a USA based Music Management Group, ShirlWhirl International and the release date had some registration hitches. The song which he is yet to reveal its title is also set for a release soon.

Ray Sterh Keyz has confirmed to The Diary of a Jack of all Trades that the "Don’t be shy’’ recording is currently underway and the listeners should be ready anytime for its snippet online.

Keep it here for its official launch.

NB:

The 'vuka boda' thing is my own opinion and not Ray Sterh Keyz's.
