Following the release and success recorded by Kiss Daniel’s first
single titled ‘Shoye’ some months ago, the singer dropped another one
entitled ‘Woju’. The song has garnered impressive radio airplay and
television rotations.
‘Woju’ is a mid tempo hi life/pop song
laced with live guitar played by Fiokee (the guitarist behind
scapegoat). In this interview with
confamtalkonline.blogspot.com , Kiss Daniel, who is now the artiste of the moment, explained to us the rationale behind the song and other issues. Excerpts.
Who is Kiss Daniel?
Kiss
Daniel is an unpredictable entertainer, too deep, too wide, too high;
just when you think he is through, he gets started on another paragraph.
When did you begin your musical career?
My career
started professionally last year, when I got signed to G-Worldwide
Entertainment. Though I have been making music since high school, but it
was just for fun of it
How many tracks do you have so far?
Ok,
I have released two tracks officially; 'Shoye' and 'Woju'. I dropped
'Shoye' on May 1, 2014, and also released the visuals few weeks later.
Later, I dropped 'Woju', which is currently disturbing the peace of the
country. 'Woju' also has a video, which was directed by Adasa Cookey.
What inspired ‘Woju’?
Hmm,
'Woju' is a love song for a typical African woman. It talks about how
women respond to too much compliments and admiration, by playing 'hard
to get', and it offers suggestions as to how men should deal with such
reactions by simply playing 'hard to come by '.
What does ‘Woju’ simply mean?
‘Woju’
simply means 'Recognise'. Although, literally, it means 'look at me',
but then the whole point of looking at a person is for recognition.
What motivates you?
Good
music; as an artiste, I listen to music a lot, like 24 hours a day. I’m
always plugged in. Good music inspire me to make better music.
Do plan any collaboration with other artistes?
Yeah, I have done some collaborations, but I really don't want to disclose them for now, you all need to be patient.
Who do you look up to in the industry?
I look up to all those before me in the industry, especially those doing good for themselves and the world.
How would you describe your stay so far in the music industry?
It
has been a combination of the good and the bad, but I’m thankful and
grateful to God. I actually used to think i will have it too rough, but
then It has turned out to be a pretty pleasant ride. Music industry is
growing, a whole lot of outstanding artistes home and away are working
hard to get recognition they deserve.
If you have the opportunity to change one thing in the industry, what will it be and why?
There
is apparently nothing to change, the industry is fine except for the
set of people holding it down. Just like every other sector in the
country, we always have the good, the bad and the ugly.
What should your fans expect from you before the year runs out?
They should expect more singles and videos, perhaps collaboration.
As a young and handsome dude, what is your perception about ‘relationship’?
Know your worth, never settle for less than you deserve.
Are you in one already or still searching?
Hmm,
I am presently not in any relationship, but I would love to be in one
with Iggy though, or Minaj. I am not searching for now. I have a long
way to go. Shout out to my beautiful ladies by the way, love u guys.confamtalkonline.blogspot.com
