She adds, “This is a unique show because at Maisha Magic we realized that audiences are more interested than ever in non-fiction Storitelling. That gives us an opportunity to broaden the scope of what is currently airing on TV and draw in more important and inspirational matters of modern day society. Stori Yangu will explore these through creating a real connection with leading personalities from across Kenya who have contributed to different industries and causes in the country.”

The show will feature top stage names including Nyota Ndogo, Jeff Koinange, KJ, Caroline Mutoko, Papa Shirandula, Size 8, Daddy Owen, Jua Kali, Big Ted, Bahati, Benjamin Ayimba and Maina Kageni among others.

The first show featured the story of comedian and politician John Kiarie, popularly known as KJ. It took invited guests back to the days of Redykyulas, when KJ and friends revolutionized the comedy industry in Kenya back in the 90s. KJ also opens up about his personal life, the suicide cases in his family, advertising, his love for cartoon and his political ambition.

The launch of Stori Yangu follows the success of the just concluded wedding show Our Perfect Wedding produced by Maisha Magic East which premiered in November 2016. Maisha Magic East promises its audiences a host of other captivating local shows to be released in 2017.
