NN: You have worked with Gilad on two songs now, why him?
Wendy: Gilad and I have the same feel for music plus we sang together live for two years so it’s just so much fun making music together.
NN: Of the two songs you have sang together, what can you say has changed since the song Unajua?
Wendy: Unajua surprised us and made us want to dare more, a different video set in Amsterdam and a different stage in Israel.

NN: You have been invited to perform in Israel, how does that make you feel being a Kenyan and the first one to perform there?
Wendy: It’s really exciting to perform for a different audience. I can’t wait!
NN: Are you coming back to Kenya from Israel in December and will you give us a show with Gilad?
Wendy: Not sure yet, as I’ll be performing with some musicians in Amsterdam for a Christmas concert which I’m very excited about.
And who is this Gilad Millo?
