“I’ve done so many projects. I cannot remember everything,” Ayub said on phone from his home in Nyahera, Kisumu County. “I cannot remember at what moment in time I did that job.People use my music to do their own projects.”

He went on to add that he just receives calls from people who want to work with him or wants a composition for their beats.

“They always call me. I never call them. They call me, and then I do the necessary job,” he said.

Ayub Ogada, 62, collaborated with King Kaka for “Koth Biro” early last year in a song which targeted corrupt leaders.
