Vicmass Luodollar is one of the few artistes today who has had a hard time coming up in the music industry, from being a hawker in Kisumu city and leading a hard life so-to-speak in Kibera when he came to Nairobi to pursue his dream of becoming a music star and making it big in the mainstream.
Yesterday being a throwback Thursday, the ‘Bank Otuch’ hitmaker opened up about how the multi-talented media personality Anita Nderu played a major role in his life and his career to help him be who he is today.
Vicmass Luodollar opened up about spamming Anita Nderu on Facebook pushing his music until she finally responded and gave him an opportunity and got his big break by having his first song played on national TV courtesy of the ever-smiling Anita Nderu on the show TEEN REPUBLIK ON NTV that she was hosting back then.
To give props to Anita Nderu, Vicmass posted an elaborate short story of how she played a major role in his career and why he will forever be thankful, love her and indebted to her for putting him on in the music industry.
He also opened up to admit the exposure he got from his song getting played on national TV gave him that push he needed to be someplace in the music industry and even helped him get a cameo role in Sauti Sol’s ‘Money Lover’ music video where he played a Chef in the visuals for the single.
