Eric Omondi sends tough advice to Kenyan artistes: Do not wait for Radio and TV to play your songs

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

The heated argument between Kenyan artists and presenters has been going on for the better part of this week as local entertainers try to figure out why their music is not getting any air play.

Presenters and artists have been exchanging words since Monday as artists have accused presenters of picking Bongo and Nigerian over them. Presenters on the contrary, say that Kenyan music is trash and that’s why it’s not getting on radio.

Comedian Eric Omondi has offered his take saying that artists shouldn’t be concerned that TVs and radio ignoring them.

“Do not wait for Radio to play your song!! Do not rely on TV to push your Video. Start to create your own network. Build your platforms. My top two songs last year were 1. Dundaing by KingKaka 2. Katika by Navy Kenzo ft Diamond I did not hear them on radio, I did not watch them on TV. I actually honestly do not remember the last time I listened to radio or watched TV. My best TV program is Churchill Show and guess what? I watch it on YouTube,” read his post.

Build yourself

He further added that once entertainers focus on building their platforms, they’ll realize TV and radio don’t matter so much.

“I respect traditional media (TV, RADIO and PRINT) I mean that is where I was born. But TIMES ARE CHANGING and they are changing FAST. Social media is slowly but surely becoming MAIN STREAM. People want information quick, they want it NOW!!! The phone is the new TV set, YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER and WHATSAP Will be the New TV Stations, SOON. I personally run a “TV Station” on Instagram called @ericomondi and I am today assured of reaching at least 3.1 million people on my Instagram, YOUTUBE and Facebook, and this can only get better. This Way I do not have to totally rely on Radio and TV. My TV station runs exactly the same way traditional TV and Radio Run, if you visit my page you will find both Entertaining programs AKA ma Ujinga as well as Adverts. Let’s start to focus on building this Social Networks as well because they are the only medium that crosses borders beyond, AND THATS WHERE WE NEED TO GO, BEYOND!!!!. MY TWO CENTS,” said Eric Omondi.

Eric Omondi: We would get calls from places as far as Mombasa to go pick our brother 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kenyans are still in shock after Eric Omondi’s elder brother passed away just hours after being introduced to Kenyans. Eric’s brother, Joseph Omondi, a drug addict, had just been traced by Eric and he was hoping will be taken back to the rehab only to pass away later.

Omondi has now come out to share the incident, saying the family is suspecting a cousin might have introduced him to the drugs. In an interview published on SDE, the Eric opened up saying that he’s brother died because of the drugs.

Didn’t have the will

Eric and Joseph

“Have you seen him?” he asked Omondi after he was asked if something else might have killed him. “There is no doubt that the drugs killed him.”

“We had a cousin who was dating a white man. She is the one who we knew was using drugs. When Joseph started hanging out with her she must have introduced him to the vice.”

Omondi added that rehab didn’t help his bother because he didn’t have a strong will.

“He would come out clean and then, out of the blues, slip out of our sight and go missing,” he says. “We would only get calls from places as far as Mombasa: “Come pick your brother. He is in Mombasa. He is very high.”

Adding:

“If an addict is not mentally prepared to stop they will still relapse because drugs always have a certain appeal for addicts.”

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Chantal Grazioli, Eric Omondi’s girlfriend is every guys (probably) dream lady. I mean she has the perfect figure, caramel skin tone and her silky hair that most women wish they had.

After arriving from Italy, we all couldn’t help but notice how grown her hair was. Well, she looked like a video vixen but little did we know that she is also a fan of fake hair just like most ladies.

Also read: “Eric Omondi’s Manhood was photoshopped!” Young socialite reveals, but how does she know this?

During her trip to coast with Eric, the lady forgot to adjust her wig leaving her cornrows peeping out. For a minute it seemed unreal since most thought that she an all natural beauty!

Beware of Muggers in town

With such expensive hair, it would be best for the lady to avoid town now that muggers are after wigs too.

Word has it that they are stolen and sold for cheaper  prices especially now that things are way thick in January.

Anyway as for Chantal, it’s good to know that she also has some struggles like most women.

Comedian Eric Omondi is one romantic man. Over the years or months we have seen him spoil his lady with surprise gifts making many women jealous.

Well, we can’t blame these women because it’s actually hard coming across such a generous man. Anyway Chantal hopefully counts herself lucky deep down inside since she doesn’t look like the touchy feeling type.

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Eric Omondi has set the bar abit too high for the boy child. While other men cannot treat their women right, the comedian is already playing on a different level judging from his latest move.

To welcome his girlfriend back home, the comedian partnered with Startimes coming up with a huge billboard at the airport with Chantal’s photo. This stunt left many impressed by his affection towards the lady while others questioned whether men like him still exist.

Fans react to the billboard

This was also a good opportunity for fans to leave creative comments under the Instagram photo. While others preached the ‘Nyakundi said No’ slogan others claimed that this was a sign of weakness for a man to go on such level.

Comedian Eddie Butita also joined in with his funny post that has left many in tears. From his photo seems that Butita was comparing his love for KDF to  that of Eric Omondi and Chantal.
