Before the money and the fame

CAROLINE NYANGA

A story is told of a young man who camped outside a radio station for days on end in a bid to get his CD played. Despite the tight security and frustrations he never gave up his mission and after a period of one week, his CD was finally accepted. The moment it was played on radio- it became an instant hit catapulting him to stardom. From then on there was no looking back. The scenario is no different within our celebrity circles- some of whom are known to have arisen from humble beginnings. Although some of these stories may sound dramatic — they are real — as told from the horses’ mouth.
