The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has announced with great sadness the passing of their Audio Music Producer, Moses Dennis, popularly known as Mose, after a short illness.
In an official statement released on Tuesday, April 8, KBC revealed that Moses fell ill on the night of Saturday, April 6. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. His untimely death has left colleagues and friends within the media and creative industry deeply shocked and saddened.
Until his passing, Moses served diligently as an Audio Music Producer under the government’s Studio Mashinani initiative. He was based at Studio 2, located at the Lang’ata Studio in Nairobi. KBC described him as a committed and talented professional who played a vital role in supporting the dreams of many young creatives.
Studio Mashinani, launched in 2017, is a flagship program under the Ajira Digital Program. It was designed to offer accessible and affordable music and spoken word recording facilities to talented youth across Kenya. By providing state-of-the-art studios at subsidized rates, the initiative empowers young artists to pursue income-generating opportunities using their creative skills. Operational centers include Kisumu, Kitui, Gatanga in Murang’a, Lang’ata in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Komarock in Machakos.
Moses Dennis’s contribution to this vision was instrumental. His work not only helped polish the talents of many aspiring musicians but also fostered a sense of community within the creative arts sector.
His body is currently preserved at the Saitoti Mortuary in Rongai Sub-County Hospital, Kajiado North Sub-County. A postmortem examination is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9 at 9:00 a.m. to determine the exact cause of death.
KBC has expressed heartfelt condolences to Moses’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
