I am here, bringing to life the special agreement that I signed last year between Kenya (Talanta Hela) and the Grammys. Bring the power, effects and advantages of the Grammys to the Kenyan creative industry. We want our creatives, especially music and film and theatre to take full advantage of this ecosystem in Los Angeles,” he said in a video shared by Citizen TV.
