I thought Chameleone was a legend who won’t talk to you, but he’s a humble and cool guy. In the middle of his show, he stopped and introduced me to the audience. Then he praised my artistry. A true recognition and appreciation right there in the middle of the show while everyone else watched. I felt special. It was the perfect reminder that I am doing the right thing. And it was so perfectly Jose Chameleone, who is an inspiration to me as an extraordinary person who’s mastered, dominated and influenced the music industry in East Africa”. Say’s Luxury Player.
