The 7 Funkiest Celebrity Websites in Kenya
Websites and social media have become an integral part in a music artist’s career and quest to push their music and their brand in an increasingly competitive scope in Kenya.
Entertainment industry gurus and celebrities have to keep up with international trends and further their reach not just to local fans but also to potential international ones as the global music industry becomes close knit and seeks for ‘connected’ artistes.
It is important then that as an artist of any scope, you keep your fans in the loop of what’s going on in not just your music but your life, so that fans may corelate with you and become more loyal to your brand. We’ve picked out some websites which we think stand out in Kenya for both their design and the effort to connect with fans. Here they are:

His website features regular updates and sneek peaks, including professionally done videography about his social responsibility campaigns such as Colour Kwa Face. When he has musical releases, the first place to get the videos or audios is on his site.
Regular features as on most international artiste sites are present, such as Downloads, Gallery, Biography and Press features with captions from his mentions in both local and international media outlets. You can also register and log into the site to get a fuller experience and leave comments or subscription notices.
Octopizzo.com
