They enjoyed popularity with other bands such as Backstreet Boys , New Kids on the Block , Blackstreet and New edition among others.

“Our Kenyan audience is really hungry for nostalgic music from the 90s. To say that the boy band era was huge back then would be an understatement. Nostalgia is a powerful tool for sustaining the love and loyalty of the fans so it’s a pleasure for us to support access to music that is well loved,” says Monica Kemoli-Savanne– Artist & Label Partnerships Manager, East Africa
