 We have a very lovely lady, Abigayn, a minister. Hi, Abigayn, first of all, hi, how are you? Welcome, welcome, welcome. How are you? Happy new year? As long as you are here, we will be happy. Thank you. Thank you so much. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. We will be happy. It's amazing. It's amazing. But kari busana kone sho. Thank you. We are so blessed to have you. Wow. Yes, now. Abigayn, listen to this yourself to friends of Jessica. Tell us who you are and take us through your musical journey. My name is Abigayn. I'm Kamburi Masai. I'm a mother and I'm a wife. I'm also a business lady. Yes, and I'm a worship minister, as you can see. I do present worship. I'm also a composer and a music writer. Yes. You do present worship. Yes. We did in church, in chapele ministry. Yes. You do present. And also I'm recording. Did serving in church influence you beginning ministry now recording officially professionally? Which one? Which one? Which one came first? That's what I want now. No, we were serving in church actually. In the process we were prayed for. And then we started recording music. So I started in church. You started in church. I've been doing present worship. Actually I was a backup minister. A backup worshiper. Actually I was not doing lead. I was just doing backup. I was backing up some very powerful people who were singing there. So me I was just their backup. So you were the backup. Yes. Now you went ahead to record your own music. Yes. Where did the confidence come from? Because it's a backup. I imagine backup. Because there's a time I was also done backup. And I was like, you can't see his story joy. But there's a time my teacher usually do backup. Yes. But he on your high school mission. Yes. You can sing off tune, off key, off beat and all that. Anyhow. You can sing anyhow. You can sing anyhow. Anyhow. I can say it's the grace of God actually. I never thought maybe I can sing lead vocals. Because I was not confident with my voice. You know there are people who are singing very well actually. But you see these things they come by prayer. And actually there's a time we were fasting with our apostle in the church. And he told us to go for fasting. We went for fasting actually. So the Sunday where we were breaking the fast that is when he started praying for us. And he said that oh God is saying he's going to give some people some gifts. They'll start writing songs, recording songs. And me I thought in my heart that one is not for me. You know me I'm a business person. I cannot be recording. You know I like music but not being a musician themselves. But I really love music but I was not imagining I can be. So I said ah that one is not for me. That one is for other people. Me I was just a background vocalist. I don't want to do anything much more than that. But I didn't know that the grace of God will follow me. And this gift actually God will give it to me. Actually of all the people I know, I was the one who got this gift. And now I'm recording. You didn't know he was speaking about you. I didn't know God will pick me out. You see me I was saying ah that one is not for me. In fact I do business. I don't like things of recording and coming to the public. That was not my thing. I like Loki. You see the way God blesses people is that. So I was just saying ah that one is not for me. That one is not for me. No it can't be me. This gift is not for me. Until you start donating people. This is not for me. This is not for me. Now from then how has it been until now? Okay music is so good but it's a journey. And you have to be very patient. Also you grow your relationship with the media organically and slowly. So so far it has been good. I've gone to very big medias including Citizen. Ya I've been the newspaper. So I really thank God I've been growing organically. So there's no hurry. You just walk with God as it takes you. That's what I can say. Just don't be in a hurry. You want to be like someone. So just walk your pace with God. The way God is taking you just flow with him. That's what I can say. Ya now the exposure God has given you. You as a minister as you're recording your music and putting it out there. That exposure what has it done to you musically? Musically I've grown. Let me say I've just grown. And people are loving my music. I get a lot of messages, DMs. And people they really love my music. Others are streaming. So ya I've gone musically. And I'm still growing. I can't say I'm yet there. But I'm still growing as per the pace that God is really taking me. So ya I really enjoy the music. Now I love the music. I never used to like being a worship minister. That was what my thing. Really? No. I mean from you really. Ya then I was like I cannot be a musician. That wasn't my thing actually. Because I like loki. I like being in the background. I don't like being in the limelight. But you see this is something that God had planned. So I'm working with God. I also ask God for His mercy. Every day I have to be gracious and merciful as we are doing all these things. Ya. And how has your family received that now you are a musician? Comeze kona. Maybe this is our sister. This is our daughter. Now she's now a musician. Now even you maybe say you're a spiritual authority. Ya. Ok. The first time for the family it was something very new that was coming. And my husband had an issue with it. By the way he had an issue. He could not imagine you're going to the public. You're being seen in public. But with the time he had just said and even he started supporting me so much. And sometimes you could tell me oh I'm going to appear in this video and I'm going to say ok you can come. Ya. With the time God worked on him. But the first song and the second song there was an issue. He was not comfortable. The fact that I ended up going to this TV station I'm appearing here. I'm in this article. He had an issue with that. But I thank God because he worked on him. Especially him. And now he supports me. Even he doesn't bother to know oh you're just going to tell me oh may the grace of God be with you. He supports me. He doesn't bother. Ya. I call Tim Abigail. I say ma you go. Go Tim. Hashtag Tim Abigail. Yes. He just tells me send me your poster I see the way you look. Nam tu mi atu anawana. But he really is really supporting me. From what I'm gathering from you it's been like nice and smooth. No it wasn't smooth. It hasn't been smooth. I'm going to play a story 50. We are admiring you. Really. Thank you. Thank you so much. It wasn't all that smooth. The first time you know it was him. The children didn't have a problem. Actually they really like music. Also they were saying ma you are really supporting you. But for him it took time. And God had to work on him. To work on him seriously. In a point that when you're peering somewhere ako tu komfortebu. He's not bothered. Now in your journey. Has it been smooth like that? There may be mountains here and there but you conquered some of them. Ya there are mountains. It's a smooth journey by the way. You can get challenges. Maybe you're trying to take your music in the media. You can get some challenges. But I believe that God works with time. There's a season for everything. When God has planned that you're going to get maybe this media. You're going to go to this place. You just walk with God. What I'm trying to say is that just don't be in a hurry. Or you want to appear here. You want to appear there. Just walk with God. The way God is unleashing these things. You get the grace to flow. Like some channels as I was growing up in this music. But with time God has given me an access. And He has given me so much favor that I'm favored. And I really thank God for that. Hallelujah. Favor. Now let us talk about your latest music. Love Your Name. I love Your Name. Tell us about this song. I love Your Name. It's a worship song that I was actually ministering in the altar the time they were giving offering. And then that song would just dropped there. That is where I got the song. I sang the song in church at the altar. And I went and recorded it. Even I never wrote it. It's just a song I was given when I was giving offering and tighten. What have you. And the song came. So the song comes from the book of Isaiah chapter I think it's chapter 56 where it should love the name of the Lord. And even Philippians chapter 2 I think verse 11 is saying that we have been given the name that is above every other name and at the name of Jesus even he shall bow. Okay. So the name of the Lord is powerful. The name of the Lord is mighty. So I love the name of the Lord because it is powerful. It is mighty. Yeah. Clearly you can see that inspiration palesiko fitisana nix. Ziko moa. What can you compare the latest song I love your name with maybe a song you released five years ago. What would you say this is the difference in terms of when I'm producing, when I'm recording and even when I'm shooting my videos how would you compare the experiences? Of course the experience is not the same because five years ago I was still starting out and I was very green and new in the music scene. So this one already we have some little bit of some experience you know how to navigate even in the media actually this song it has been really the song has given me a lot of exposure. So many medias have opened up and so many things has come it has come so many blessings I can say so there is a very huge difference between the time I started until now it is not the same it is not the same So we can see we have been consistent every year kuna songina toka so what are you are we expecting this year this year we are expecting Gapi according to according to the song which means this is more than three Ya we can do more than three but you see like last year I was to release for but the project got spoiled the producer I don't know what happened the project got spoiled I think the avarise entered so he lost three songs were lost so I ended up releasing one so I pray that there was no way it could be recovered no way you see and I lost three songs get good producers mmm but get good producers who can get back up you can plan things you can plan some things and they don't happen they are just beyond you but looking at it there are some things God wanted me to learn before I release those songs and I actually learnt some little I got some I learnt some little lessons by the time I'm coming to release this song so I think it could be maybe it was the hand of God in it ya because there are some things I learnt and there are some places where God wanted to take me so the way I was coming too fast naizu imbotatu it was just too fast God wanted me maybe to do one and that one that I did that now I love your name it was the only song I did last year by the way the whole of the year but God has opened so much and God has done so much in those two months God has done a lot by the way God can be patient in the same month and if you release a modja modja lakini is doing mighty things you see you can release one God doesn't operate with your patterns you're putting timelines or you're putting an expectation or I have to produce three you can produce one and it can have an impact for five years you don't need to produce three so you walk that's what I'm saying walk with God and just operate with him there is flowing flow with him na flow na ebile na ebile you know I just a revelation just jumped into my spirit that God doesn't work with my calendar is in 6th Januari to February and he was born in 2022 2023-2024 he was in the season and he released a modja he released a modja and pray for you to keep him alive even though the paris told me the avaras has entered I lost three songs but I wasn't even mad at him actually I was I am no money very patient so he was like okay no problem let's try and work on at least one so you worked even I didn't make noise You know, you spend a lot of time producing the song, you have to go to the studio, you're wasting a lot of energy and time And when I come out of there, I normally get a lot of headache, I have to take a lot of painkillers So I could not imagine I'm going to the same problem again So I told him, okay, if it has happened, let's just work, at least we get one So you worked on one and that I love your name, Dotka Pata Next month I will tell you that you are part 2 Yes, I know This guy has a book, your music So I'm giving him tips on how to be a part 2 Yes, for example How do you think about it? Yes That is what your edition is Yes, one lesson that you would like to share with someone, maybe a lady Who would like to, maybe would want to start a music There, they are saying this is a big mountain but The way you get confidence, maybe share less on it Number one, if you are a lady and you want to start music, first you have to be prayerful Because, why am I saying you should be prayerful, you really need God's direction Especially when you are going to do maybe gospel songs, I'm talking about gospel, not secular For gospel songs like the ones we are doing, you really need God's direction And you need to pray If you incorporate fasting, go ahead and do it Just the way God will guide you I will not tell you just fast If God guides you to fast, go ahead and fast But it's good to hear from God Because sometimes you can jump in to release a song And it's not the time God has for you And you're going to struggle So you have to also to be in sync with God In a way that you're feeling that the Lord is actually guiding you To release the song at this particular time So you have to be very sensitive to God And how do you become sensitive by spending time in prayer? Yeah, spending time with God Now you can be able to navigate And know at least a bit of mind of God Because God can allow you to know his mind If you have some type of relationship with him He can allow you to know his mind He can allow it, he is on to allow it And sometimes he doesn't allow it It just depends on how God is really actually dealing with you Or the relationship you have between you and God So sometimes it's good to get an access of the mind of God Concerning that particular project you want to do with music It's good to rely on God and wait upon the Lord That's what I can actually say The rest will be God will cater for it Thank you so much for that Abigail, now as you end up, any shout outs?
