In a recent press interview, Big Talent sensation Eddy Kenzo provided clarity on his association with Bobi Wine’s Firebase Entertainment, setting the record straight on the nature of their collaboration. Kenzo began by recounting how he teamed up with Mikie Wine, Bobi Wine’s brother, for the groundbreaking track “Yanimba,” which propelled him to stardom.
Originally planning to work with Phantom Lovins, Kenzo pivoted when Mikie Wine, revealing his relation to Bobi Wine, convinced him of the potential for fame. Taking charge of the project, Kenzo suggested enlisting the expertise of Tonny Hauls and Paddy Man for the song’s production, resulting in a musical masterpiece that resonated with audiences.
The initial production took place at Firebase Studio, later enhanced at Paddy Man’s Dream Studio for optimal sound quality. Although the success of “Yanimba” attracted Bobi Wine’s attention, Kenzo clarified that he never formally joined the Fire Base camp, instead leveraging the association for his benefit.
However, financial disagreements with Mikie Wine led Kenzo to embark on a solo career, despite Bobi Wine’s efforts to reconcile them. Kenzo stressed that his departure was motivated by financial considerations rather than any personal or artistic differences with Bobi Wine.
Addressing his brief involvement in Bobi Wine’s political career, Kenzo revealed that he initially felt a sense of obligation due to their shared background. However, as their political ideologies diverged, Kenzo gradually lost interest in supporting Bobi Wine’s political aspirations.
In conclusion, the journey of Eddy Kenzo from collaborating with Firebase Entertainment to establishing himself as a solo artist highlights the dynamic nature of the music industry. Despite the twists and turns, Kenzo remains grateful for the opportunities he gained through the association, even as he forges his path forward.
