Josh from singing duo Amos and Josh faults his deviation for their breakup

Back in 2013 singing duo Amos and Josh stole Kenyans hearts right after finishing up among the top 3 finalists in the coveted Tusker Project fame singing competition.

The duo went onto release multiple hit songs and working with giants in the industry such as BET nominees Sauti Sol on the track ‘Nerea’ and lyrical genius  King Kaka on ‘Baadaye’ and ‘Promised Land.’ However,less than 5 years later they split up, breaking their fans hearts.

Joshua Simani aka Josh of the music duo now attributes some of his miscalculations paired with industry pressure to their split while pointing out the contrast of being ‘church boys‘ and wanting to make music that competed with the times and other artists as another huge factor.

He also admitted to battling alcohol addiction which deterred him from working well.

“You know when you’re hanging out with people you can’t just stay there just like that lazima ukunywe kitu and they’ll be like, ‘weuh bana, take something.’ With that, I was back to the addiction again,” the veteran artist candidly said.

Josh went on to narrate how he lost track of their religious compass and started working on secular music which eventually put a rift between him and his partner who still held firmly onto the church and the image they projected.
