Music is not just for those who have been in the industry for decades. It is for all who are ready to take up the challenge and own that voice passionately to bring out the magic in it.
16 year old Nikita Kering can attest to this because this is a partial description of her and how she is taking the music Industry by storm.
Nikita was yesterday named as the new artist of the year during the Pulse Music and Video Awards 2018. Under this category she won with her song ‘Happy with you’ which has close to 100K views on You Tube.
Some of the rival artist that she beat under this category are:
Nadia Mukami-Si Rahisi Enoque Wambua- I’ll Stay Kelechi-Wataisoma Namba
This award came during the 4th Edition of the Pulse Music Video Awards which was held at the trademark hotel.
The annual award event celebrates Kenya’s vixens, producers, choreographers, artists among others is calling for video entries in the various 11 categories.
She rose into the music scene during Kenya gospel powerhouse Emmy Kosgei’s album launch back in December 2011. The event, which was aired live on national TV, showcased a young Nikita Kering performing alongside the main act, who went on to be her mentor.
She also has a record of presenting awards at gala events at the age of 12, has performed for Kenya’s deputy president and hosted TV and radio shows.
At 16 she has done more that some of the artists who have been in the industry longer. Probably matured earlier and what is more impressive is that she has placed all her efforts in ensuring that she uses her talent to bring out the best there is.
If you have listened to her music then you have a clear picture of her unique music prowess.
One of the captivating fact is that she has been in the music and media industry since she was only three.Not easy but this has created a platform for her to showcase and explore her talent.
Congratulations @NikitaKering for scooping new artist of the year award. Well deserved by all standards.#PMVA2018 pic.twitter.com/UVr10fBzsL
