If you ask me, I will tell you that this chap, whose real name is Kennedy Odhiambo, is one of the fastest rising online comedians in Kenya seeing the number of fans he has gotten since he started doing skits in 2017.

We recently did a phone interview with him and we spoke about many things including; his comedy journey, dating life, how he responds to critics and whatnot.

Crazy Kennar started acting when he was in Class 3 and when he joined Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in 2017 he teamed up with some friends and started doing online skits.

He says the journey has been good so far since the platform has given him an opportunity to work with major brands and other comedians who teach him one or two things in turn.

Crazy Kennar is pursuing Actuarial Science in college and when he finishes he’ll combine the set of skills that he has to ‘make something big’.

I also asked him whether he’s afraid of losing relevance and he explained that it comes with the territory, adding that the entertainment industry is like a graph – one day you are up, the next day you are down.

Crazy Kennar is not too bothered by his critics. Actually, he says that one needs to have them because they’ll tell you things that you die-hard fans tend to overlook.

Asked whether he is in a relationship or seeing someone the comic said there is someone in the picture. Sorry ladies!

After topping charts for a long time, Kenzo left his stable – Ogopa Deejays – and his fans have been wondering where he disappeared to but as it turns out he has never stopped releasing music.

We reached out to Kenzo a few days ago and he told us that he has been around it’s only that he has not been pushing his music. We also spoke about Gengetone, his musical journey, latest song titled Prayer and future projects.

He revealed that his mum bought him a guitar before she died and that was a sure sign that she wanted him to follow his dreams though she often encouraged him to maintain good grades.

Kenzo also spoke a bout his latest song titled Prayer and he revealed that he met a Germany-based Kenyan producer known as Hopetone Blaze and they have been talking and that is how they ended up working together.

I also wanted to know his thoughts on the Gengetone wave and the singer told me that although he wouldn’t hesitate to work with the artists who are pushing the sound, he also doesn’t want to do something just for the sake of it.

Kenzo’s story is really. He wanted to be a footballer but ended up in a gospel group which he later ditched because he did not want to live a double life.

One day after he performed at a wedding Lucas Bikedo of Ogopa Deejays approached him and gave him his card and asked him to give him a call and that was how his musical journey began.
