Goodwill messages are still pouring for delectable all round artiste, Kenny Saint Best as she marks another 365 days added to her age. The singer, performer, composer,.Coson director, etc is 56 years old.
And in its message, the copyright body also wished her a happy birthday. "Coson is extremely proud of you as you add another year...," the statement read in part.
Kenny St Best who has traversed the entertainment industry for many years is one of the forces to reckon with in the gospel genre.
She has also had some controversies around her life and career. In an earlier interview she talked of the challenges and difficulties she faced, especially as a single parent.
"It’s my experience, pain and setbacks; then the fact that I had a great comeback with multiple influences and functions. I had a setback as a singer but a comeback as a singer, preacher, speaker, politician, better person, businesswoman, entrepreneur, consultant and counselor, she said, “I took time off to raise my children. I had to weigh my priorities, and invest time and money to give them (children) the quality I wanted to give them. Another reason is funding. The music business requires a lot of funding; it is not cheap. Knowing that I needed to pay for the schooling of my children, I chose to invest in my children, (rather) than in music. Right now, I am back to the studio and by 2024, I will hit the ground running.”
When asked about her involvement in politics, she said, “I am still very much in politics, and I have been active for nine. I am also involved in political administration. I have worked with Lagos State at different levels. God instructed me not to run for any political office but to return to music.
Best also stated that she was involved in music consultancy. She said, “I am a consultant in art and entertainment, especially in music. I work with local governments in the area of raising entertainment awareness. I also work with the University of Lagos. When they have international students, they send them to me; so I consult for their music department. I perform at shows too, sing in church, host a show on radio, and I’m an author. But, I had to drop all that to face music. Music is a jealous job, and I had to pause all to finish the album I am currently working on. I also work with the Copyright Society of Nigeria.
