“Firstly, I want to say a big thank you to Kenya for giving me the number one song in your country. I’m technically a Kenyan right now and I will need a Kenyan name,” said Oxlade.

He added: “But guess what? I will be live at 7 Islands at Watamu on the 8th of October. Let’s get closer. I want to perform all of my songs and I want you guys to come and have fun with me. Let’s create the madness.”
