Back like she never left! Amina Abdi announces music comeback after 10-year hiatus

Kenyan award-winning radio and TV presenter, Amina Abdi Rabar is set to make her comeback in the music scene after going under for over a decade.

The lass has been popularly known for her mark in the radio and TV industry but very few know her past as a music artist. Having produced tracks like On Me, Swag that features Octopizzo, Paint Town Red that features rapper, K-Letta…just to mention a few.

Unfortunately, she was forced to quit music after witnessing the kind of corruption eating into the entertainment industry.

The Corruption

While starting her media journey at Capital FM, she would occasionally see artistes giving bribes, just to have their music played on air.

This she declared she was not going to do and therefore quit!

It was the bribing you had to do and because I was on radio and no one was paying me to play any of the music. I didn´t expect that. It really caught me by surprise.

Plus, if you were not well connected, you were only going to count losses.

There was lack of support and then it was very difficult to get started. They say there is a certain video type of quality that can be played on air. A good quality video, how much is it? By that time when I was releasing Paint Town Red I was told 300k and I´m making sijui 15k.

Luckily, at the time, the media industry was just establishing its foot and she therefore grabbed the opportunity and ran with it and till date, she has no regrets that she did.

It was really hard and TV and radio was picking up. I could see the potential it had, so that´s what I focused on.

However, in as much as she loves what she is doing, the mother of one disclosed that she was soon going to make her grand return into the music scene.

We wish her well!
