HOW MAGIX ENGA RUINED JAMSTA's PROJECT.

We all woke up one day to some thrilling music renditions of various songs from different artistes covered and published on twitter among other social media platforms by one jamsta{stage name}, a twitter sensational who won and charmed the hearts of many social media users who instantly fell in love with not only his vocal prowess but also his vocal delivery. On the fateful day, jamsta while on site at his mjengo hustle, posted a video of him singing 'girl of my dreams ' initially sang by D-major, a video that got him trending. Instant praises came along, support promises too followed, every other blogger wanted to interview him and get to know his story and music journey. Many wondered why and what was such a vocally talented singer like him doing in a building site. Obviously, unashamed of his hustle, he finally let everybody know that, that was where he got his daily bread from.

One thing lead to the other, and our twitter sensational decided it was time to realize his dream, hit the studio , record his music and release it to his fans. However, things didn't go as planned. After paying magix enga, the audio producer a sum of ksh 20,000 for his first audio, things went south really fast. jamsta would show up at magix studios only to find an empty studio, perhaps present workers and an absent producer. The truce between the two went on until jamsta got enough of it and decided to take it on twitter and let his fans know what was going on. A disappointed jamsta poured out his heart on the frustrations he had gone through while in the hands of producer magix enga.
After pushing him and insisting, magix later accorded jamsta something he had dreamt of for long, a studio session. But that was the start of another tussle. He recorded the audio but magix was too busy to work on it. He continued to persuade him, and after a month producer enga decided to finish his project, something he could have done in a weeks time. Another disappointment was awaiting jamsta. After magix finished his mastering work, jamsta on twitter claimed the producer had auto tuned his vocals 100%, something that not only angered him but also ruined the entire project irreparably. Now, jamsta has a song he worked so hard for, but because of a famous reckless producer he cannot go ahead and release his song. Going through some comments on twitter, some fans advised him not to release the song at all, as it could paint a bad image of his budding music career knowing very well that he is talented both in song writing skills and great vocals. To his fans , his capability of doing a far much better song is unquestionable. Another question from a fan was, Magix a well known producer whose name is now a household name in kenyan music industry has done a lot of big projects and worked with some high flying kenyan musicians , was this another case or sheer negligence or? A good project gone bad in the hands of a remarkably talented producer who doubles as an artiste as well can be concluded as intentional.
