Kenyan artiste and entrepreneur Sironka Lioness has unveiled Lioness Empire Studios, a creative hub aimed at nurturing and empowering emerging talent in the entertainment industry.
Known for her distinctive fusion of Afro-pop and dancehall, Sironka described the venture as the result of years of sacrifice, savings and unwavering vision.
“I invested in it recently after my Europe tour,” she said. “My passion is to see upcoming creatives realise their potential and give them hope in their various fields.”
Built on her own property, along Kangundo Road, Embakasi East, the new studio is a modern facility equipped with advanced recording technology, acoustically treated rooms and fully furnished production suites.
Designed to international standards, it serves as a professional space where artists, producers, and innovators can collaborate, record, and create.
“I wouldn’t like to delve too much in the cost as I would prefer that to remain confidential, but it cost me a substantial figure,” she adds
From sleek recording booths to dynamic editing bays and open performance areas, Lioness Empire Studios offers an elegant and functional environment where creativity thrives.
Before returning to the entertainment scene, Sironka built an impressive career in education.
However, in 2018 she made the bold decision to resign and fully dedicate herself to her artistic pursuits. “I have always been driven by purpose,” she said. “Music and creativity are where I feel most at home.”
In addition to the studio, she runs the Lioness Sayso Talk Show, a platform that gives upcoming creatives and innovators free exposure.
“The interviews are usually free,” she noted. “Seeing young creatives shine is a dream of mine. I’m just a servant with a calling.”
The show, which records up to 60 interviews every weekend, has become a space for authentic storytelling and inspiration, further solidifying her impact in the creative community.
Sironka said her music career remains very much alive. “I haven’t stopped producing music,” she said. “I have taken a break to work on my talk show brand. Music will always be there. Hosting is my calling too.”
Despite facing health challenges along the way, she says she has remained steadfast in her mission.
“I have not strayed from my vision. I’m an ambitious woman with a big heart. I want to see young creatives win,” she said.
