Upper Hill School Choir, Redfourth Chorus continues to penetrate the mainstream music industry. This time, they feature in King Kaka’s new song titled "Senzenina". Even though they are getting mileage by doing projects with renowned artistes, the young boys are not yet in a position where they can demand or make money.

“Right now we are just doing normal collaborations where we are both mutually benefiting. We are not yet at a place where we can ask for money for featuring on songs. But in future when we feel an artiste is eating into our fanbase, then we can start talking about funds,” said Redfourth’s trainer Philip Tuju.

Redfourth gained popularity when they did a cover of Sauti Sol’s "Kuliko Jana" and later officially featured on it.

Tuju also told Showbuzz that the choir worked on King Kaka’s "Senzenina" during the holidays.

“The choir is also made up of those who recently cleared school. Those in school understand how the system works and accept that unless it’s really necessary we try not to interrupt their schedule,” says Tuju.
