Songstress Lydia Jazmine has revealed that fellow musician Rabadaba will always have a special place in her heart.
The “Same Way” hitmaker opened up about her love for Rabadaba in an emotional post shared on social media. She extended her gratitude to the “Mukyamu” hitmaker for offering her the first big collabo dubbed “You Know”, that turned out to be her breakthrough song four years ago with out asking any special favours in return. She posted:
“Almost four years ago, (2013) during my first year at the university, one morning I woke up and decided to hit studio to record my first song in my professional career as an artist, and not the girl people were used to seeing in the band or backing up numerous artists. I met the young famous producer Nessim with whom I wrote and recorded this song ‘YOU KNOW’.
While in studio, this very talented gentleman was outside waiting to come in next after me. When he entered, he fell in love with my, song, after which he asked to free style on it. In just two hours, the song was complete and he told me I could release it as acollaboration if I wanted to. I can’t explain the excitement I felt.. I mean I was not even expecting it, I was only this girl that had a big dream but always hidden behind the curtains.
To my surprise the song hit right away and even though I couldn’t earn much out of it, it got my name moving in public. Each time I got a chance out of school to perform on a show, he was always present to perform our song. He didn’t ask for anything in return as most of the artists used to.. like money or even more. His main goal was to be apart of this journey, he continuously reminded me of how much talented I am and that I would make it one day! Most importantly I kept believing and working at it too.
Today I am not where I wanna be, noo, but I’m not where I was then!. And I can see where I am going.. Rabadaba God bless you always and I’ll forever have you at heart. You can never be forgotten. Much respect!!”
