In past interviews, Keri has disclosed that she draws inspiration for her music from the regions she travels to.

"Everywhere I travel, I get music from that region of the world," she told MTV News. "I've been to Nigeria, I've been to South Africa, three cites in Africa [in all]. I gather music from these regions, and African music is very drum-heavy. It was very inspiring. I'm definitely going to be using some of that inspiration." She said in late 2010.

Keri Hilson was one of 2009's breakout stars with her hits "Turning Me On" featuring Lil Wayne and "Knocks You Down" featuring Ne-Yo and Kanye West.

She first made a name for herself behind the scenes by writing songs for Britney Spears, Ciara and Kelly Rowland, among others.

In January 2016, Keri Hilson was unveiled as that year’s Airtel Trace Music Star mentor for the winner of the talent search show.

The singer took over from Akon, who was the previous year’s ambassador.

Details of her tour to Kenya are yet to be disclosed.
