It started like a joke for her, until it struck her one morning that ‘Blankets & Wine’ could actually be more than just her small circle of friends. Just like that Blankets & Wine was born in 2008.

Her aim being one; to give local talent a platform to showcase what they’ve got. “Kenya first!” was her driving motto.
6 years later, her vision had blown up to receive massive recognition outside Kenya – something that wasn’t her intended goal.

She decided it was time to re-evaluate.
The collision
Blankets & Wine faced massive backlash after the turn over and that is how Muthoni and Sauti Sol clashed. Turns out Sauti Sol had been invited for a night gig in early 2014, where they would perform with South Africa-based trio, Mi Casa.
“We felt like Sauti Sol had come to a point in their career where they were bonafide headliners. So Saturday night would be Mi Casa and Sauti Sol who would close the night, ” Muthoni Drummer Queen said.
Intentions Sauti Sol misinterpreted instead, getting the impression they were being undermined.
“What Sauti Sol understood is that we’ve put them sort of like the DJ who plays after the main act. What we meant with a lot of love and admiration, they took it like we were trying to sabotage them. They came through on Saturday and they gave us a lot of sh!t,” the Blankets&Wine CEO continued.
This hurt her badly;
That night was a very hurtful experience, you guys [Sauti Sol] actually genuinely owe me an apology even as we’re friends.

The apology
The news got to Sauti Sol soon enough, responding;
A dear Muthoni acknowledged the apology affirming that the Blankets&Wine team had duly received it as well.
Well, that is now as good as settled!
