On June 30, 2020, Kenyans were still reeling from the news of Mejja's transformation from a solo artist to a member of The Kansoul.

Many fans, including myself, often criticize Mejja for getting worse as a musician after joining the group. However, I believe that other musicians can learn a thing or two from him about self-reinvention.

Mejja's journey began when he teamed up with Kid Kora and Madtraxx to form The Kansoul. While some fans say that he lost his touch after joining the group, I think that he made a smart move by adapting to the changing music landscape.

As the Kenyan music industry continues to evolve, it's essential for artists to be willing to take risks and try new things. Mejja's decision to jump on the Gengetone wave is a perfect example of this.

While some fans may not understand his new direction, it's clear that Mejja is committed to staying relevant in the industry. His ability to reinvent himself is a testament to his dedication and passion for music.

As fans, we often get caught up in our own opinions and expectations. However, it's essential to remember that artists are constantly evolving and growing. Mejja's story is a reminder that self-reinvention is critical for musicians who want to remain relevant in the industry.
