Under the guidance of label heads Sauti Sol, Nviiri was provided a nurturing environment within the Sol Generation family to refine his sound, gain invaluable experience working with producers and other artists, and successfully connect with fans across Kenya and beyond. However, after half a decade of artistic growth within the supportive label infrastructure, Nviiri felt compelled to spread his wings and embark on his “most ambitious musical endeavor to date.”
While he will miss the community and encouragement he found at Sol Generation, Nviiri explained that saying goodbye was necessary to “challenge myself creatively and fully realize my artistic potential.” He acknowledged that without the platform and mentorship of Sauti Sol, hits like “Kitenge” may never have been possible. Nviiri assured devoted fans that despite embarking on new terrain, he will forever be appreciative of the role the label played in molding him.
