Ken wa maria biography

Usually reserved when it comes to giving media interviews, Ken wa Maria is more open on the day we sit down with him. “Ask me everything you would want to as I am here to give you all the time,” he says as we settle down, his face still dripping with sweat after an energetic performance.

“I honestly don’t like interviews simply because most writers don’t bother to do their research and have no background understanding of artistes.

They will ask you what is obvious, what has been written before, what everyone knows…so why bother,” he starts.

He sips from his glass and takes a breath as if to make an interlude between a refrain and the next stanza. He looks youthful, you wouldn’t tell that this is an artist who has been there and done it all in the last two decades he has been in the game.
