Remember Bahasha Ya Ocampo? Well Jaya Has A New Song!

The first time I met Jaya I believe was in Mombasa at Crossroads church Nyali. Astar had a concert there, and she was accompaning him on vocals.

I sought to ask two questions, what happened to Kiki the original singer in Astar’s angels? Secondly, why wasn’t she releasing her own music! It is a well known fact that Bahasha ya Ocampo, another single where she was featured by Juliani was a massive hit!

I met her again, when I was auditioning for Sauti Academy, and she didn’t seem to remember me. Le sigh. Well she’s back again, this time with her own, yes people her own song! However, just to keep you guys baited, how about listening to her debut solo tulia here.

I had to find out a few things about her and she willingly obliged.  In her own words she tells told me quite a few things I was not aware of. She came to the limelight first as a back-up vocalist for David Ogola. He was the guy with cornrows and a melodious voice in TPF. He by the way recently released a song with Yvonne Darcq.

Apparently she did yet another song with Juliani, his Climate Change song “Rauka (hatuta-survive)”, in 2009. Did you know that? Part two of this brief interview in a bit.

Below is the audio ‘video’ to her new song heart right here.
