Charisma (Fidel Eli Shammah), started making music in 2014 with his friends Abel Kiptanui (formed me Le Band) , Ken Mwendwa and Joel Maina while still at university.
Within a span of time, Le Band amassed a huge fan base and rose in popularity and fame. They became a darling to many women.
Years later, Charis regrets the decision asserting that they were financially illiterate. In a recent interview with a media outlet, he revealed that,
“We were making so much money, but we didn’t know how to plan for it. We were also excited by the fame and again the music and entertainment life is a fast life”.
He admits to wasting money after earning the newfound fame. He revealed that he wasted money on different women. He shared,
“We wasted our money on women. We would go for club appearances, get paid, and then spend the money on random women, buying them botties (alcohol) and paying for their cabs to go home.
We would do this a lot with different babes (women). Then we’d go broke and when it got to the point where we had to make another video, we’d have to do another gig to pay for the new video because we had no money. We were not saving”.
