Miss Katiwa's media journey

Miss Katiwa's media journey has been a short but impressive one. Before her hiatus, she gained recognition as the host of NTV's reggae show, Jam Rock, which later rebranded to Jamdown, where she collaborated with DJ Moh Spice.

Her talents extended beyond television as she enjoyed a long stint with Radio Africa's Homeboyz Radio, where she co-hosted a late-night show alongside Jaymoh Ule Msee and Didge the singer.

What's intriguing about Miss Katiwa's journey is her initial perception of reggae music. She once thought of it as a mere fan's delight.

It wasn't until her friend introduced her to some of Reggae DJ Kriss Darlin's club shows that she began to appreciate the positive messages embedded in reggae songs.

Her transformation from a casual listener to a staunch fan was rapid, and she even affectionately refers to herself as 'The Caribbean Queen.'

Miss Katiwa's unique perspective on reggae, combined with her experience in the media industry, may bring a fresh and captivating energy to the 10/10 show.
