Sauti Sol credit their success to “corporate babes”

Savara Mudigi, producer and vocalist of Sauti Sol, is expressing his gratitude to the “corporate babes” who helped the band become international stars.

He reminisces how, after the release of their hit song “Nishike,” the lady bosses in the Kenyan corporate world played a crucial role in their success. While “Sura Yako” made Sauti Sol a household name, “Nishike” propelled them to greater heights, especially in the corporate world.

Mudigi reveals that the band was bombarded with corporate gigs after the release of “Nishike.” He says that decision-makers would instruct those who handled the band to make sure they took off their shirts when performing “Nishike.” Taking off their shirts became a “deliverable” for the band to get a show.

Mudigi confesses that Sauti Sol made millions of shillings from these deals, which he says wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the lady bosses. He says that they “built” the band.
