Vote For One Of My Favorites Mercy Wairegi, She Clinched Not 1 But 3 Groove Awards Nominations!
It’s no open secret that I have a ‘penchant’ for awesome vocalists, and one that really really ‘gets to me’ is Mercy Wairegi. Her mellismas/runs are so effortless, and her vocal prowess is undeniable!
Get to me has been used endearingly by the way. The first time I heard this girl’s voice I was enthralled! So imagine the warm fuzzy feeling that permeated me when I heard her sing live at Kivulini last year. Kivulini is an event organized by Zidi the band and NTV’S Dann Number 8 Mwangi, who also happens to be a rapper. So I won’t trip, I haven’t interviewed Mercy, not yet. What i do know is that she’s up for three Groove awards! Stoked is an understatement, because I really dig this lady’s Music!
Check this status below, that I got from her Facebook page! This is my subjective opinion, a huge chunk of Kenya’s best singers are female gospel artists. Subjective people, subjective. It has something to do with the rigorous vocal training that you undergo every week when in the worship team. Those scales and trills you are subjected to are not easy, but they mould you. Trust me, I know!
