Nameless explains how he has managed to be relevant for so long

Nameless has been in the music for over 20 years now and has always been an important topic.

The singer recently revealed how he has managed to stay relevant for so many years now since starting saying that he tries as much as possible to keep things simple.

“When you are creating music, you can use different tactics to reach the people to get an instant intense reaction. Other times you use tactics that can provoke a reaction that will withstand the test of time and capture people’s attention,” he said. 

Takes time

Kenyan singer Jegede is back with a new tune dubbed Wakilisha. Jegede in the musical film "Wakilisha" featuring The Allstars: Nameless, Jerry Ogalo, Big Pin, Daddy Andre, Stivo Simple Boy, Fundi Frank and Vdj Jones. Directed by Deska Torres.

He went on to add that he takes his time before he writes which leaves people wondering why.

I always keep it simple, such that in 10 years, one can relate to the song or lyrics. Sometimes I stay for long before I write a song and people may wonder why,” he said.

“It is because I listen to it on different occasions and ask myself if I achieved the intended intention. My aim is always longevity. I do not release songs too soon so often because staki watu wazoee sana.”

 

I’m not affected anymore by what people say on social media- Nameless

Singer Nameless at one point used to get sleepless nights thinking about what people are saying on social media.

According to the singer, people can break your heart online and need a tough skin to get by. Nameless had to find away to block the negativity.

“There are people on social media who will go out of their way to hurt you. I used to get so affected by hurtful comments because as an artist you get so attached to your work. Sometimes you release something you’ve worked so hard on and there are many positive comments and then one negative comment and you’ll spend time thinking about the negative one,” he said. 

Warned

Nameless added that his mother had warned him at the beginning of his career that not everyone will love his work.

“When I started out my mother told me some people will like what I do, some won’t and that’s fine. I always try to remember that. I admire people who don’t get affected by the negative comments. That’s what I’m working towards.” he said.
