WOJO, a global leader in providing innovative co-working solutions, has revealed its plans to establish a strong presence in Kenya, setting foot in a fast-expanding industry.

The expansion marks a significant milestone in WOJO's journey, as it seeks to bring its world-class co-working spaces to one of Africa's most vibrant and promising business landscapes.

“The specificity of WOJO is that hospitality excellence and skills are at the core of the business. WOJO, which is a part of Accor Management Group, leverages excellence in comfort and office expertise. WOJO materializes the ‘workspitality ‘concept,” said WOJO Africa Growth Lead Faith Nyongesa.

With an unwavering commitment to fostering creativity, collaboration, and productivity, WOJO has gained a reputation for transforming traditional workspaces into dynamic environments that cater to the evolving needs of modern professionals and businesses.

As part of its strategic vision, WOJO Africa aims to replicate its success on a Pan-African scale and contribute to the growth of Kenya's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

"Kenya is an exciting market with a burgeoning entrepreneurial spirit and a growing demand for flexible workspace solutions. WOJO is dedicated to providing an environment that inspires innovation, facilitates connections, and nurtures the aspirations of local businesses," added Ms. Nyongesa.

WOJO's approach to co-working emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, community, and aesthetics.

Their spaces are designed to be adaptable, accommodating businesses of all sizes – from freelancers and startups to established enterprises.

The co-working environments foster collaboration through thoughtful layout and shared amenities, fostering a sense of camaraderie among members.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, WOJO plans to integrate eco-friendly practices into its Kenyan operations and engage with local communities to create meaningful opportunities for business growth and development.

"Nairobi has a rich coworking scene; people living in Nairobi are used to the product and have high expectations in terms of services. We believe we can bring the solution and close the gap between product and customers’ expectations " reiterated Ms. Nyongesa.

Adding "Upperhill is under-serviced despite the presence of authorities, institutions, banks, and a high private sector profile. All of them need quality and flexibility; located in Mercure Nairobi Upperhill hotel, WOJO Africa will offer both coworking space services and amenities and access to the hotel living spaces such as the Gym, Swimming pool, restaurant services, hotel rooms etc."

This expansion into Kenya aligns seamlessly with WOJO's global vision, as the company continues to leverage its expertise to create thriving co-working Spaces and enhance, enrich Hotel ecosystems around the world.

The entry into the Kenyan market not only highlights WOJO's determination to adapt to diverse cultures and business landscapes but also reinforces its role as a catalyst for economic progress.

Versatility is an extra string to a player's bow and Kisumu-based rapper and singer, Gabiro Mtu Necessary is living proof of this statement. 

Having made it to the Grammy consideration list twice with Luo rap, he has since been consistent and rapid at it making him an artist to watch out for when it comes to bilingual rappers in Kenya.

Gabiro is not only a singer but also adds up as a comedian and actor.

His Tiktok is among the fastest-growing accounts in Kenya right now with online users giving rare reviews and comments to his work there.

However, this has not stopped him from releasing musical content as this new jam is his 8th release this year alone and the numbers don't lie, he is evidently the most sought-after rapper from Kisumu, Kenya.

If his rendition of singer Bridget Blue's hit single 'Kesho' is anything to go by then Mtu Necessary as he is famously known is an artist with no limits.

His lyrical flow, rhyme and wit blow you off as he touches on sensitive societal issues but still stays on the topic.

It would be unfair to say that Gabiro is your average musician considering his achievements in the entertainment industry so far as an entrepreneur and musician.

This marks a significant turning point for the group that has redefined the Kenyan sound and contributed immensely to the global music scene.

From humble beginnings in Umoja Estate, Ethic Entertainment emerged as a beacon of creativity, originality, and dreams realized. Comprising of Swat, Zilla, Seska, and Rekles, the group introduced the world to the unique Gengetone genre with the release of their breakthrough track "Lamba Lolo," created on nothing more than a mobile phone.

Their musical journey was not just a single hit wonder, but a series of hit after hit that birthed the vibrant and unmistakable Kenyan sound we now recognize as gengetone.

Rekles, with his unparalleled creativity and hard work, played an instrumental role in Ethic Entertainment's rise.

His contributions to both the group and the broader Kenyan music industry have been monumental and can never be truly quantified.

Ethic Entertainment, known for its inclusive and diverse approach, is poised to continue its journey and legacy despite this transition.

As Ethic Entertainment bids farewell to Rekles, they express their profound gratitude for his indelible impact on the group's journey.

The music they've created together will forever resonate with fans, and Rekles' influence will undoubtedly continue to illuminate and inspire aspiring artists and creatives for years to come.
