Tuesday, February 20, 2024

Bruce Melodie and his team are not resting as they seem to be on the road day and night chasing big projects for their fans. Just a few months after a successful US tour that reached Dallas, Miami and Portland Maine, the 'Katerina' hitmaker is now in Nairobi, Kenya for a media tour and to finalise some of the projects that feature his Nairobi-based counterparts.

This comes after Melodie announced that he is back in studio recording new music after months of focusing on other aspects of life and promoting his music in the US and beyond.

"I already have artistes I'm working with in Nairobi and I'm here to finalise our projects and also expand my musical boundaries to this beautiful country full of talent," said Bruce Melodie.

The artiste also noted that he will be visiting various radio and television stations in Nairobi to promote his previous projects and reveal his next move in the music industry that he has been a part of for the past 12 years.

Bruce Melodie made the first stop of his media tour at the Trace East Africa studios where he was hosted by podcaster Calvin Mwanguku, and emphasised how the Trace Awards, which took place in Rwanda last year, opened doors for him and brought more attention to his name.

"The first day I came to Trace, nobody knew me. But after the Trace Awards at BK Arena, I got a platform I never had before. Even Shaggy admired how the technical team brought our virtual performance to life," said the musician, who won Best Rwandan Artist at the awards.
