One of the local scene’s bright talents, Sage vanished from the scene just as she was primed for it, taking a hiatus that saw her embrace motherhood, battle postpartum depression, enjoy scattered moments of success and now she is ready to get back into the game.

When you first come to the limelight and people like one unique thing about your art, their applause in that uniqueness might just put you in a box. This was the case for singer, song-writer Chemutai Sage, and the tumultuous journey she took to free herself of these stereotypes. With her five-track Extended Play (EP) Jungle Trap, Sage hopes to reintroduce herself as a diverse creative artiste and more especially as the person her extensive journey has brought her to. This is her first body of work after a long period of uncertainty and fear.
