Kenyan based rapper and business mogul Muthoni Drummer Queen is still on her grind and she will be exhibiting the result of a 2 month long collaboration with UK's leading Virtual Reality artist Simon Wilkinson (Circa 69) whose most recent collection of virtual reality works, dubbed "Whilst The Rest Were Sleeping", have enjoyed a 20 nation world tour across six continents in the past three years. In addition, the project will also be supported by Swiss beat makers Hook & Shake it Mashine.
Muthoni and Simon have been working on a brand new song and music video for release in the form of an interactive virtual reality experience. This new work combines 3D games graphics with video and gif art to create a 5-minute immersive experience in which audiences get to decide how the song ends. This work is particularly meaningful as it is Kenya's first music video in Virtual reality.
The "Suzie Noma" femcee is proving to many that she is indeed a trendsetter and is able to keep up with the growing demand for creativity, higher levels of interactivity and a more meaningful role in the culture they consume. In Simon's words, "The project with Muthoni is a great opportunity for us to experiment; to combine music and virtual reality, to find out what is possible and to try to make something which brings out the best out of both"
This project has been made possible through a grant from the British Council's #EastAfricaArts program which seeks to share skills of creatives and ignite partnerships between the creative sectors of the UK and East Africa.
You do not want to miss out on this once in a lifetime experience! Save the date for Friday 27th  April at Foundry Africa, 6pm-10pm, Westlands and again on Saturday & Sunday 28th / 29th April at Movie Jabber Expo, Garden City Mall 11 - 7pm to witness the epic exhibition.
