Asked about country music, Elvis Nyaruri had this to say “Country is a lifestyle. It’s our day to day livelihood. It is about how you connect emotionally and believing in each single lyric you sing; you must feel what you sing. To me country music is the truth”
Asked about what motivated him to write the song, Elvis had this to say, “I believe all music came from Africa.Many people categorize country music as music for the western but in real sense it came from farmers in Africa."
