RUTH MARETE KUTOKA KENYA MSHINDI WA TUSKER PROJECT FAME SEASON 5.............

Ruth Marete

Kenya’s Ruth Matete jumped with joy and  lay flat on stage moments after she was announced winner of Tusker Project Fame season 5 singing competition, bagging Sh5 million and a recording contract worth Sh10 million.

An elated Ruth, aged 26, beat four finalists on Sunday night and thanked God for her success when addressing the crowd.

Joe from Burundi was number four, followed by Jackson from Rwanda

There were moments of tension after Ruth and another Kenyan contestant, Doreen were left standing, becoming clear that one of the two will walk away with the prize.

Doreen, had come to be known as the ‘Miss Probation’, thanks to numerous consecutive nominations for probation, and surprised many that she made it to the finals.

The competition started with 15 contestants drawn from East African countries with 11 being evicted before Sunday’s finals.

'I am a 26 year old lady born in the Western part of Kenya.
I love music and I believe that I will die doing music because that is my passion. Aside from being a passion, I know it is a gift I got from God. It keeps me going through life's issues.
Through music, I get to express myself easier and better.

However, I want to use my music as a tool to speak to the voiceless out there. People who cannot speak for themselves yet they have a lot that they would want to share with the rest of the world.

I am currently participating in the Tusker Project fame music competition and I am enjoying every bit of it despite the few surprises that come with it. I love God and I thank Him for the gift.'

Purple Diva is what they call me. Doreen Naira is the name my parents gave me... I am a lover of art, a student of nature, a poet and a girl that is crazy about the color purple...but above all these, I am a music fanatic. I come from Kenya, the closest place I know to the mythical land of milk and honey.

I am no scientist; in fact, I believe music makes the earth go round. I am a spirited singer (music is bigger than me, than you and its greater than us all) music is not what I do it is who I am, it is through music, I believe, that I can tap into my reservoir, and give to human kind the best of me.
It’s a unifying factor that makes us come together and bring out the best in us... Try as we may, we cannot live without music (at least I can’t)

I want them to remember me, and when I am gone... I don’t want them to say much... Just that I was here," and boy, did she sing her heart out!" I will feel that I lived my life, and lived it well.

Much love

Hi I am Jackson, I am a performing artist from a beautiful country; they call it the land of a thousand hills. I am the fourth of six children and I love my mother. She always told me that if I loved something, I should do it wholeheartedly.

Since my childhood ,I have loved music....it is my greatest passion. I believe that music has power, it inspires me. To all my fans, my music is like the spirit...it unites the body to the soul. It is good for us to know our fellow men while on earth, since the heart has a lot of secrets it hides....God gave man the ability to compose and perform music...so that we can share what is in our hearts.
