(Ajabu African News, September 16, 2016) WORCESTER, Mass.,__Ann Gichuhi, a 17 year old Kenyan girl based in Worcester near Boston has done what she has always dreamt of--releasing her own music--with her new R&B hit single dubbed Back-Track dropping early today (Friday) morning. Available for .99 cents downloads, the single is already available on i-Tunes (Mac) and Google Play (Android) and has already started drawing attention of US music lovers, with hundreds of downloads and several inspiring reviews. "I love your vico (read voice) ann keep up the good work can you teach me how to sing", commented Nadia Exantus as soon as the single started featuring on Google Play. The young Kenyan artiste, a final year student set to graduate from the Worcester technical High school later this year has been very active in the local Kenyan community in Boston where her sweet and attractive voice has entertained guests at various functions, including political,social and religious events.
Last year, Gichuhi was in the news again having won the Worcester Tech High School Talent Show. In 2011, the young Kenyan was among the very few girls from Massachusetts invited to the popular I-Pop Convention where she was promised a career in modeling and advertising. However, she opted out of the opportunity since organizers required the entire family to relocate to Hollywood, something that they were not yet ready for due to other commitments. "I feel very blessed to have this song come out now. I have been singing other people's songs for so many years until fans started asking me why I don't produce my own. So I decided to sing this first one and I am very happy for the reception it is getting," Gichuhi told Ajabu Africa News during a telephone interview from Worcester. According Gichuhi, popularly known as Shiro, the new single was co-written by her and her manager, Ashley Suttle of Atlanta Georgia, and produced by Atomix Productions, also of Atlanta. "I would like to thank my manager, Ashley and producer, Atomix productions for the professional help they have given me during this process. I would also like to thank my mum for all the support she has given me and allowing me to pursue my dream. It has not been easy," she told Ajabu. She revealed that she met her manager during a trip to Atlanta to for a music event she had organized with the help of her friends, who in turn invited other friends. The highly ambitious Kenyan added that the song was originally scheduled to be released in November of 2015 but she was not very happy with the product, so she had to edit and re-edit until she was satisfied, leading to today's release. "I am so excited about this new development. I am so happy that I did not even sleep well last night as we waited for the song to be released. It has been a very long and difficult journey but we thank God that it has come to this kind of results," said Magdalene Njuguna, Shiro's very supportive mother. She thanked the Kenyan community and friends in Boston for their support over the years that have seen her daughter’s dreams come true. "I thank all Kenyan and many friends who have supported us as a family as we tried to keep up with our daughter's demands in this career. May God bless you all," she told Ajabu Africa News. Shiro added that the release of the new song is just the first steps of many that she plans to make in developing her interests in music.
