101 With Kenyan EDM Artist: Sketch Mazing
If you’re an avid Kenyan EDM fan, then the stagename Sketch Mazing (LT Beats) is certainly not new. I first encountered Sketch on a trap beat, but this has changed with time, showcasing his fluidity in the beat-making skills. Real name, Michael Kiruti, Sketch is an EDM producer and remixer from Nairobi.
I caught up with Sketch and did some quick 101. Check this out.
