June 6, 2020, marked a significant shift in the music industry as more and more Kenyan celebrities began embracing the culture of allowing their spouses to be their managers.
Below are some of the notable Kenyan celebrities who have taken this route.
Vivianne and Sam West
Sam West, Vivianne's manager, turned out to be the perfect partner in both life and music. The two started working together years ago, and their partnership blossomed into a beautiful marriage.
Today, they are still together, raising their two kids and producing great music.
Gloria Muliro and Eric Omba
Before everything went awry, Gloria Muliro was being managed by her ex-husband, Pastor Eric Omba. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce, and their relationship has not been the same since.
It is unclear if Gloria has found a new manager, but one thing is certain - she has moved on from her past.
Mercy Masika and David Muguro
Kenyan gospel singer Mercy Masika has been managed by her husband, David, for a while now. In a past interview, Mercy praised her husband for being supportive, saying:
"I would not be this great if it was not for my husband's hard work because he does a lot of things that I could not do by myself. Sometimes we quarrel, but you have to be wise and the same way you respect him in marriage is the same way you should respect him when working together," she said.
Evelyne Wanjiru and Agundabweni Akweyu
Agundabweni Akweyu, also known as Agunda, is a Kenyan-born record producer and founder of record label Bwenieve. He has worked with several notable artists, including Evelyne Wanjiru, who has released hit songs such as 'Mungu Mkuu' and 'Celebrate.'
