In a delightful and candid interview, Tanzanian music sensation Zuchu won over fans with her honesty, revealing she is decidedly “not a morning person” – but made a special exception for one of Nairobi’s most popular breakfast shows.
During her recent appearance on Kiss FM’s The Morning Kiss with hosts Cyd Wambui and Muchina Malomba, the ‘Sukari’ hitmaker shared her strict policy on early mornings.
“I only wake up early for God, my husband, my mum, or a flight,” Zuchu confessed with a laugh. “But I woke up specifically for you guys today, because I am a fan girl.”
The visit was far more than a standard promotional stop for the artist, who is in Kenya to perform at the CHAN Finals 2024 at Kasarani Stadium. It was a genuine pilgrimage for a devoted listener. Zuchu explained that she frequently interacts with the station, often engaging with their content and commenting on their social media posts.
The story of how Zuchu became a dedicated fan of the show is as unexpected as it is endearing. She revealed that her loyalty began not during a music segment, but when she stumbled upon a light-hearted and human moment on air. She specifically recalled hearing Cyd Wambui speaking candidly about her admiration for Ibrahim Traoré, the President of Burkina Faso.
Zuchu was instantly charmed by the funny and refreshingly genuine segment. “That’s when I said this is my show, this is my show!” she recalled, highlighting how that personal connection turned her into a daily devotee.
Her appearance underscored a relationship with the station that transcends the typical artist-media dynamic, feeling more like a sincere friendship. For the hosts and listeners alike, Zuchu’s early morning effort was a powerful testament to her appreciation for the authentic connection The Morning Kiss team creates with its audience every day.
