Kenyan Artist Attempts to Succeed in US

Description:
Jedidah is a Kenyan musical artist that moved away from her country to pursue her dreams in America. She is an extremely gifted talent on the rise. She is also known as Gengegal by her fans and she has collaborated with other famous Kenyan artists, such as Wahu. Her busy life in America includes being a part-time student, professional make up artist, and also chasing music stardom. She began her rap career in 2005. Her single "Wape Ngoma" helped her become an artist on the rise. She recorded with another Kenyan producer who was based out of Minneapolis before she linked up with Ricky Oyaro from Snowtown Entertainment. Ricky has produced for several popular rap artists including Trey Songz and Soulja Boy and is helping Jedidah become a hit in African based clubs.
Evaluation:
This article gives a good update on how Jedidah is prospering in America. It seems like America is treating her well so far and she is pursuing her dream. She is obviously gaining some success because she now performs with Africa's hottest artists when they tour to the US.
