I kept my relationships to get here – Akothee to Kenyan artistes ece-auto-gen

She narrated how she knew nothing about airplay when she released her first song and how she organized shows with a few DJs she knew, back in 2014.

“When I released my second single Pashe I met @mzaziwillytuva in Rongo when he had come for Mseto East Africa in Rongo university, I played the song for him and he was like when you come to nairobi make sure you come to club Tribeka, so we clicked from there, the only presenter I knew was @mzaziwillytuva, I was very ambitious, so I asked him to organize for me a media tour in tanzania, and because I didn't have a manager I asked him to come with me, then I did my first media tour with only 2 songs in Tanzania,” said Akothee.

She went on to say that Tanzanian media treated her well after she was introduced by Mzazi Willy M Tuva, and she has since maintained a good relationship with them and many other media personalities she has been introduced to since then.
