AMOS AND JOSH SPEAK ON THEIR SPLIT AND COMEBACK

Tusker Project Fame six first runners up Amos and Josh have opened up on their reunion and what led to their split two years back. The duo explained that their comeback will be explosive as they have their vision and energy back.  

“We’ve always been ready and coming back was just the question of when. I think it’s about that time and look out for good stuff. Since we got the dream back, the energy is definitely as it was or even bigger or better. The vision is clearer now and more energy,” the duo said. 

Amos said the break took a toll on them since they had a lot of people following them, but also prepared them for their comeback. “The break also hurt us because people usually follow you when you’re doing something and when you stop, they divert their energy and by the time you come back, it’s a question of are they sure they are going to be consistent or is going to be like the other guys who make a comeback. To break was also good for us to prepare for what we’re about to do in this second phase,” he said.  

Explaining their split, Josh said they lost focus and at some point they started contradicting on things that they used to believe in at the beginning of their career. “It was a matter of perspective and at the time I was in a place where I was recollecting my own journey because there’s a place where Amos and Josh started and there’s a vision we had.

Because of the many influences in the industry, we had diverted from what we were doing and at some point we started contradicting with the things we used to believe in. That’s the kind of contention that made us slow down because we were not able to put out content and there was a lot of disparity between us. So I figured I can’t do this,” Josh said. 

After some time, Amos called a meeting and suggested they part ways because they had lost passion for doing music. “I called a meeting and we agreed amicably to split but if we come back again its okay. Because you know when you’re not comfortable with something even your energy or how you give yourself to it drops,” he explained. 

The group also spoke on how renowned music producer Bruce Odhiambo’s death affected them as they had started working together. “When Brice passed away we didn’t know where to start from, we had to think about what will be next, we would have actually gone through with the plan but I think that loss was also unexpected and too much and we took a break,” said Josh. The duo is expected to start releasing projects soon.
