By Presta, 27 September 2024
Having been in the music industry for over seven years, this new Murigo sound marks a significant evolution in his artistry. Daman reveals that the shift in his musical style was inspired by his wife, who has been a source of motivation and creativity in his life. Murigo not only celebrates the beauty of the African woman but also showcases Damann’s desire to experiment with different sounds and genres.
Reflecting on his journey, Daman shares that his transition to this new sound wasn’t difficult. With the sound of Murigo already in his head, he worked alongside a talented team to bring the song to life.
While his fans may need time to adjust to his new direction, he’s confident they will support his artistic evolution. After all, for Daman, music is an art form that thrives on freedom and reinvention.
Having taken a break from the music scene a few years ago, Daman used that time to reflect on his career and learn from industry veterans. This period of growth is evident in Murigo, as the song reflects his maturity as both an artist and a person.
Daman sees Murigo as a celebration of the versatility of music, encouraging artists to push boundaries and step into unfamiliar territory.
Blending Gikuyu/Mugithi with Amapiano wasn’t a challenge for Daman, but rather an exciting experiment. As a self-taught songwriter, he enjoys the creative freedom that comes with exploring new musical styles.
The production process went smoothly, and Daman recalls that even the music video shoot provided some lighthearted moments, especially with his wife on set, watching dancers and vixens perform.
Though known primarily for gospel music, Daman hopes his fans will embrace this new fusion and understand that his spiritual beliefs remain intact.
He emphasizes that music, regardless of genre, can coexist with Christianity, and Murigo is an opportunity for his audience to celebrate diversity in sound and message. Daman believes that life, beauty, and joy are all gifts from God, and his latest song reflects these sentiments.
Looking ahead, Daman doesn’t see himself being tied down to any one genre. While he enjoys the fusion of Gikuyu/Mugithi and Amapiano, he’s committed to maintaining his versatility as an artist.
The music industry is evolving, and Daman is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. His fans can expect more surprises as he continues to push creative boundaries in future projects.
In Murigo, Daman delivers more than just a fresh sound—he shares a piece of his heart and artistic journey. With plans to keep evolving, he’s determined to surprise and delight his audience with each new release, carving out a unique space in the Kenyan music landscape.
