Career
Worrod keenly provided a fruitful atmosphere where his salaried staff could experiment, learn, and development In the late 1960s, he enrolled six of his core musicians including legendary Kenyan musician, Daudi Kabaka, in a two-year course at the Conservatory of Music in Nairobi to learn music notation and theory. Worrod was never to reap great financial benefits from the recording industry in East Africa, although he went on to be well known in musical circles both locally and abroad.
Worrod is said to have been influential in the development of the growing popularity of the "African Twist" and similar music styles developing at the time.
His hand in the music industry both locally and abroad saw him meeting and promoting music legends such as Pat Boone and Roger Whittaker. Initially, Roger Whittaker was under contract to Worrod, who allowed him to cancel it to pursue a more lucrative career path with Electric and Music Industries. Worrod is credited with recording songs of international status, such as Malaika (Fadhili William), Helule Helule (which later caught the interest of the British popular band, The Tremeloes), and the Kenyan-nationalised anthem-like Harambee.
During his time promoting and recording Kenyan music, Worrod instituted the concept of royalties in Kenya for musical artists. He died in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa on the 6th of June, 2008.
