Nikita Kering, a Kenyan rising star in the music industry, has got three nominations in the upcoming 6th Afrima awards.
She burst onto the music scene during Kenya gospel powerhouse Emmy Kosgei's album launch in December 2011.
The event, which was aired live on national TV, showcased a young Nikita Kering performing alongside the main act, who went on to be her mentor.
She has presented awards at gala events at the age of 12, performed for Kenya’s deputy president and hosted TV and radio shows.
Her talent earned her a partial scholarship at Brookhouse International School, a top learning institution that has further nurtured her skills.
She is now one of the few young musicians that have been nominated for Afrima Awards.
Not 1, Not 2 BUT 3!!! @AFRIMAWARDS Nominations. Thank you God🙏🙏🙏
