Words cannot describe the feeling and the experience I’ve had at this great happening in the world.”
The performance also saw him share a stage with Grammy Award-winning South African DJ and producer Black Coffee.
This landmark achievement cements his status as a global musical force and underscores Kenya’s rising influence in the international electronic music scene.
His journey to these major international festivals is a testament to the growing global appetite for African music.
In addition to his on-stage successes, Aziz was recently named the most streamed Kenyan artiste internationally on the prestigious 2025 Global Impact List.
