We are really excited about this particular release since it was the first song we ever Composed together. Unlike 'Uliza Kiatu' haphazard release, We have everything planned out for this one even before the video has been shot - Radio ,Tv _& Print interviews . We felt like Superstars - we had every angle covered. Video Shoot day even before 5am we are at KENCOM excited about the journey ahead. Three Hours Later, we have solely one member of the Cast of 15, NJERi ( the Main Character in the video ) .Devasted, we start off the trip to CrayFish Camp Naivasha .We have to quickly think of a script since what's done is done. Luckily, @kevinboscojnr is a great on-the-go Video Director . And that's not the Best Part of this story Yet.

According to waabeh.com, H_Art the Band was formed when Mordecai Kimeu auditioned with Kenneth Muya and Wachira Gatama at the end of 2012 for a play on cancer-awareness at the Kenya National theatre.

During the rehearsal process the three discovered that they shared a similar passion for music, spoken word/poetry, comedy, dance, fashion and generally, life.

Not long after, on the 22nd of February 2013, the three performed together for the first time at Dass Ethiopian restaurant and H_Art the Band was formed.
