Gospel musician Juliani brushed aside stiff competition to win this year’s most prestigious music award in the country.
Juliani not only rose to the peak of the local music industry, but also pocketed Sh1 million cash reward during the Kisima Music Awards held at Kenyatta International Conference Centre on Friday night.
This was the first time winners got cash rewards in a major music award in Kenya.
The artiste born and raised in Nairobi’s Dandora estate promised to donate part of the cash to a youth project he was involved in.
“I will donate part of the cash to our project Kama Si Sisi that seeks to train and equip young people with information on issues affecting them,” he said after beating music groups Sauti Soul and P Unit.
Prestigious award
He also beat musicians Kidum, Maddtrax and Jaguar to the night’s most prestigious award.
