Gospel music producer Jacob Otieno aka Jacky B has opened up on turning down secular gigs.
Unknown to many Jacky B is strictly a gospel music producer.
He has worked with Danco, EckoDydda, Jimmy Gait, Daddy Owen, Size 8, and Janet Otieno among many others.
Despite having worked with big brands he has never succumbed to pressure to compromise on his moral standing.
He admitted to turning down secular gigs, his reasons?
‘I turn down lots of “dirty” or music with vulgar language. I can’t produce a song that I can’t listen to together with my children.”
He also went ahead to share the ‘secret’ behind his happy marriage.
Jacky is married to actress and influencer Brenda Michelle with whom he has two kids.
The couple has been married for almost 9 years.
Mignon McLaughlin once said
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
In an interview with Mpasho, Jacky B shared that apologizing when on the wrong has come in handy.
“Every marriage has ups and downs but we try as much as possible to understand each other. Over the years.
We have learned to apologize whenever one of us is wrong.
We also take time to talk about the things we don’t like about each other. We go on dates and do lots of fun things together. Above all, we pray a lot for our union.”
As a producer what is his view on the current nature of the Kenyan Music industry?
“Kenyan music has come a long way. We are doing well, but we still have a long way to go based on the international music standards.” BY MPASHO NEWS
