KENYAN DANCEHALL WELCOMES NEW KID FI DI TWISKY

#EXCLUSIVE

When his new video dropped- “pita naye” in May; he got everyone talking about his new style of dancehall. Boniface Kimani aka Fi Di Twisky’s style of music is inspired by dancehall and R’n’B genres with a touch of hip hop and dance. His style resembles his icons TOK and Wayne Wonder.
The video is a reflection of how he has spent a great deal of money- working with big names in the industry. The “whine up” star latest single pita naye was produced by Saint P and the video done by Andrew Macharia.

Some argue whether Fi Di is a new kid. He was a member of the award-winning Air force Dance crew that made it to the Sakata Dance Competition and also made cameo appearances in different music videos.
Then came the fame, the popularity and several nominations; and the group was a force to reckon with. Teaming with Wyre; they did a tune- ‘Kode’ before the crew split over disagreements.

After the split; Fi Di went ahead to release his debut single, “dance with me”; in which he features yet another female dancer; Emma. The song got relative airplay landing him gigs in Mbarara; Uganda; where he performed with Jose Chameleon during the launch of his album “Valu Valu Extra.”
Coming back to his motherland Kenya; Fi Di has since gotten a recording; marketing and distribution deal. He now puts his best foot forward as he takes on his passion for music. He is definitely an artist to look out for so watch this space!
