for Pedi Artists( Makirikiri)
Q: How is it like to be part of Rita Dee Entertainment? A: To be part of RDE have been a dream come true and I am learning a lot from my manager. I didn ' t know much about being a brand image. I was clueless about events. All I knew was to record and go for street promotions, now anything is possible. When you are being managed as an artist you have less stress because they handle everything all I do is to do my part. Management will tell you from rehearsal, outfit, transport, Salary and location. I am happy where I am and after a long road of being exploited in the industry by my previous managements I know GOD sent RDE to save my career and my family.

Nowadays I do any kind of sound but my music is influenced by Pedi sound, some call it wedding songs / manyalo and pop.
