REGGAE and dancehall singer Wyre has paid tribute to his “right hand man” Ian Wainaina.
For the longest time, Ian has been the singer's most trusted backup vocalist and dancer, and Wyre says there is no other better time to celebrate him than now.
“It's always good to celebrate people when they are still alive and kicking. We've known each other since high school and done all the crazy stuff boys do,” he says of himself and his 'side kick'. “I remember when we sat together and said you know what, let's do this. Let's take Kenyan music into another level through dance.”
He adds: “Any time I need advice or feel stressed on my music career, I just call Ian and ask him of the next move to make. He has not just been a workmate or colleague to me, but a brother. He is like blood!”
Ian is a professional dancer and choreographer and singer. Alongside Moses “Qqu” Odhiambo, they formed the once famous group NIX.
