In relation to that, the song writer cum singer has refuted claims by some local media that she might be relocating to Zanzibar.

“I no longer need to hire a band whenever I am asked to stage a show that requires one”, she said.
She also disclosed plans to visit Mji Wa Salama Childrens Home In Mombasa and deliver some of the basic requirements to the children as soon as she acquires enough funds for that.
Her last charity event was in 2006 when she invited\several local artists to the same home.
The artist who has been in the music industry for more than four years is a holder of two Kisima Awards; Best Taarab singer in 2003 and Best female singer in 2005.
She has also featured in three international compilations; World 2003, The Rough Guide to Kenya and Off The Beaten Track.

I believe you can do better and praised like no other celebrity. Mtoto wa kiswahili haki wewe ni gwiji lakini tu Kenya yetu haipeani nafasi ya kuupanchi. But i believe you are the best lady singer. You need more internet marketing to get high i.e international contracts.
