Kenyan viral sensation Diaso has announced a significant shift in his creative career. The dancer, who rose to fame through TikTok, revealed he is stepping away from the music genres that helped define his early success.
The news came as a surprise to many of his followers. Diaso shared the update directly with his audience via a post on his Instagram story. He made it clear that he is moving in a new artistic direction.
A Sudden Shift on Social Media
In a brief but direct message, the content creator explained his reasons for the change. He indicated that the decision was based on a long-held personal ambition.
"I withdrew doing Arban Tone and Gengetone to Embrace the genre I always wanted to do. So, no more Genge or Arban Tone,” he briefed.
The announcement marks the end of his association with these specific urban sounds. While he did not name the new genre he plans to pursue, he expressed a strong desire to embrace this new path.
He made it clear that he’s now actively looking for new music producers to collaborate with.

Arbantone is a more recent evolution that has found a massive audience on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Dancers like Diaso have played a crucial role in the success of these genres. 
By creating specific routines for these tracks, creators often help songs go viral.
