With a career spanning 20 years, Nameless has established himself as a respected figure in the Kenyan music industry. In an exclusive interview with mpasho, he reflected on his achievements and plans for the future.

When asked about the need for artists to adapt to the new gengetone vibe, Nameless emphasized the importance of staying true to one's art. He noted that while he appreciates the creativity of younger artists, he prefers to maintain his own unique style.

"I am from a different generation, son. As much as I would like to connect with the young generation, I should connect when I’m on my lane. Not to change my vibe as much but to just adjust," Nameless said in the interview.

He also advised upcoming artists to enroll in entrepreneurship classes, citing the importance of learning how to think like an entrepreneur in order to grow their brand and strategize.

"Go for entrepreneurship classes coz no one will tell you but you need to get the knowledge on how to think like an entreprenuer. It will help you grow your brand and strategize," Nameless advised.

As he celebrates two decades in the music industry, Nameless acknowledged that the industry has undergone significant changes, both positively and negatively. He encouraged artists to stay true to their art and to focus on creating high-quality music.

His latest project with Wakilisha, which features Stivo Simple Boy, has been well-received on social media platforms.
