Well this is Daniel, what do I say about me? More like what can I say, apart from the obvious just that if you are reading this, thank you and feel free to post a comment, any form of feed back is welcomed.
I love poetry, writing, traveling. Currently am working with Kenyan acts (artist, musicians, poet name it) trying to get that on the roads. Yes it seems an impossible task but there comes a time when we gat to cut out all the excuses. So we will have to build this industry from scratch & am honored to be part of that.
Other projects on the way are the sequel to the poetry pieces I have published "Words of a Child" & "Duwa Spells' but I guess am having writer's block. I guess I have to go into conflicts I’ve always done wonders in the middle of a conflict...both the two pieces thought inspired at home in Kenya were written in Horn Of Africa. Well will keep you posted.
Yes the album should drop in 2009 I just got a contract, but I can hardly sing get I can get one of those hip hop acts to drop a few verses (kinda the whole album if you ask me).
I was researching for a documentary for the past 24 month or so but that does have some way to go. We have finished a couple of projects but am not sure am ready to mention those yet.
And yes am an advocate of technology revolution...I think no I know the only way to go is to get relevant technologies available & easily accessible. Unlike Bill Gate & most of the computer world I totally think that the only way to go is to fit these technologies into mobile phones at least for the rest of the world.
And there should be a ban on all GM foods, plastics and politicians. Ok politicians that's just wishful thinking.
Truth is the continent will be saved from within. We must rise to the plate & take over. Yeah if you wait to be handed over leadership, you will wait a mighty long. Start & keep the play do whatever you can; so long as you try then the rest will follow.
Be the change you want to see. Ok that's lifted but you get the point.
Anyway I guess that is just how it is.
Daniel D'uwa
Stills...
Who I'd like to meet: Nelson Mandela, ok just shake his hand & say thank you,
Paris Hilton just to see what all the fuss is all about, Michael Jordan to teach me how to dribble, Pavarotti see if I can sing, that guy at NASA that does the count down, it pretty cool I guess way up there with the guy who says you gat mail, or this is CNN.
The guy who started African Online, oh met him, Danny deVitto, met him to, Naomi Campbell, Lauryn Hill, Shaggy, Calista, met them....
Well I guess I don't mind getting reacquainted with some of my mentors, all the people who inspired me while I was coming up.
At 13years this lady who stole one of my poems put it in press and started my writing career.
Every disciple have its masters & some of the masters who crafted me & helped to mould me include (not limited to) CNN award winner Njoki Karuoya, Sport personality & re-known editor Oyunga Pala, lifestyle 'guru' & hip hop advocate Budha Blaze, Radio Personality & baritone Edward C. F. Kwach...I guess there is not enough page to list everyone....but thanks a lot every one...
I guess soon I will have a walk down & have a fellowship with all who made me who I am & who is working to make me reach my true potential.
Otherwise can I meet you too!!!
