Awesome. Which year, which year was this? 2015, 2016. Okay. Now, your first song, what actually inspired your first song? Okay, my first song, it really inspired my life experience. Like now, on our way back to Nairobi from Meru to report an accident. And at the moment, it was an accident to report an accident. I managed to report an accident, even though many people were injured. And I had to come and get a testimony. So, I faced a lot of challenges, I faced a lot of challenges, I faced a lot of challenges, and then I came to this song, Yesuyanganene. Yesuyanganene. Yesuyanganene. Yesuyanganene. Awesome. You all come and say, Yesuyanganene means? Yesupekeake. Yesupekeake. Absolutely. So, it became my inspiration, really, part of that. From God, serving you from that very fatal incident that happened to you. And speaking of that, there's artists, some of these people who would say, for me, mine is a calling. Now, I don't know, maybe, I should like to study music, and I can venture into, like, different specific careers, some of the different specific genres of music. For you, would you say it's a calling and an inspiration to your Maeshe? Because in the first instance, you said it's a passion in the conspire called Zakuimba. Actually, it's a calling. I'm from Kittambu. Yes. I'm from my family. Okay. So, it's a calling. It's a calling. You believe like, meaning you call God, or you communicate with God, you call him or you don't. Very true. For somebody, you're back at home and maybe, you want to get into the music industry, and you're going to venture into something else, instead of just getting into the music industry. So, it's a calling. It's a calling. You're going to venture into something else, inspirational, especially from your experience, or gospel. Okay. I'm going to say, first, you have to believe in yourself. Okay. Once you believe in yourself, or if you have a problem, though there are challenges, but if you don't know what I mean, it doesn't matter how difficult things are. But if you want to have a passion and determination, actually, you will achieve your dream. Determination and passion. Yes. In the music industry in Kenya, there are people who come to Moscow, to do their work, to do their work, to do their work. Okay. I don't know, maybe I'm allowed to mention names. I think to look at them, I have a conversation behind the scenes. I'm going to say, what triggers, in fact, it's not just me, especially your gospel Camaro, I'm going to check gospel music, and then all of a sudden, I'm going to switch to another genre. But now for you, you're in such a situation, you're forced, you're forced, maybe I'm going to switch from gospel to other. For you, I'm going to push you. Okay. I have a lot of pressure. Yes, that's right. I don't want anyone else to join me, I have a lot of freedom. But my point is, maybe you go to your exposure, I know, when you feel under pressure, because I'm partially martyred, I think I'll lose my money, I need to get a bit more pressure. Then I'm going to switch to another genre, I want to switch from gospel, and let me go the other side. Then another thing, as this movement Tinchtama, Tama him if I am not 20 year old, I lose focus. Tama yaa Pes am tama yaaa Okay, ow ak jujli kana, on na jwa me ansaleo anata k jujli kana ke show of which is not that way easy. So I want a ille patient, yak kumilia. So ille it amai ni anata k thinks zah raka no. Oh, bit wi ah raka. Mwapat e fey um Pes ah, bi tukai zoh. Nda wana fanya, I lose focus. Annalise focus, ya maisha. I'm a ghost-spell and I'm from a Christian background. Some of them are from a church, some of them are from a church. Some of them I mentioned are passionate about life. Some of them I mentioned are calling. Do you feel like you're under a certain case, for example, mentor, under a certain pastor, in a certain direction, in a certain model, especially if you mention you're under pressure. Do you feel like you're under pressure on a way off the road, whether you're a mentor or not, in a certain direction? If it's true, what about for yourself? Do you have somebody who is guiding you, mentoring you and taking you through the process that has come out as a powerful ghost-spell artist? Yes, I have a few guys that I'm a mentor to, especially my bishop, I'm from the Glorious Ghost-Spell Centre in Tengela, and I'm close to myself. So, I'm a fan of the way I deal with cases that come out in my life. So, if I say I'm an artist, I need to be able to look after, I need to deal with cases, I need to be able to achieve your goals, I need to follow the way forward, the direction that comes out. Yeah, of course. And I love the fact that you're attributed to your bishop, as you said. Now, let's come back to music itself as a business, your ghost-spell, the ghost-spell genre. For you, how is your creative process? How do you get in the studio, do you have a job, do you have a place, do you have a creative writing experience, what do you do so far? Okay, for me, I'm a big believer in content. I'm a big believer in content, so I can find the time and the opportunity to go to the studio for my production. Yeah. Yeah. Then finally, I'll come up with the final product. On that note, the money, because before you even record a track, let's do your time. For example, if you come over, you do vocals. Do you practice vocals? Yeah. You can sing. I'm sure you'll do that as you sum it up towards the end. And you can do it like, how do you prepare yourself to get up to the final product? Are you to an audio or could you go to a final, a very clear video for you as in how, how take us through that process and you can go through the final product. Okay. Thank you. You have to prepare yourself when I start of tomorrow. Bestie, Oku Support, Kamakuh, Fania Audio and my video. Yeah. Yeah. Back to the industry now. Do you see right now, we're starting to choose pie closure radio stations. Or to auto and subscribe our YouTube channel, or to distribution, the whole distribution process itself, because with my IT inspiration, and a이야Z and title, or the audio mark or the bomb play for you. Your music, the platform you're using as a food for now I'm going to go and maybe watch back at home and I'll send you the music you're using. And I'll see you as a fan of yours. Like me on YouTube and Facebook, I support you and see you right here. Maybe you're using it as a zingine, but I'm part of a lot of fans on YouTube and Facebook. Yeah. So what do you do? Like, you record music, you upload it to YouTube and then share it with you. I'll put a link here on Facebook and YouTube. Oh, awesome, awesome, bro. I'll give you some money. Generally, the main reason why I'm doing this is as much as you're serving God through it, with the same inspiration and whatnot, especially for financial benefits. So for you, what do you say the gospel music industry in Alipa is going to pay? Absolutely. Yes, it's going to pay. Okay. Back in the Bible, the Bible says, seek the kingdom of God first and the rest shall be added unto you. So, this industry, I'm a gospel industry, once you make amung umbele, at a provider too, however difficult the situation might be, God at a provider, at a connect too. Like, now me, my first video I didn't pay anything, God at a connect. My audio, I had a connection with God, my audio was free. Despite of paying some few cash, but 75% of it was free. So you get that, God, once you put God first, you connect to other things in the industry. Yes, but it's a good way to do it. In a good way. Well, thanks for that. I hope those are notes you're taking, put God first. Now, and I love the fact that, you know, you're attributing everything to God. And let me bring out to you the situation. For me, I'm a priest. They're well-known, they have the numbers, they have what it takes, but music here will reach far, especially the gospel genre specifically. She doesn't know what I'm talking about. So is it like you mentioned, I have a favor, I have money, and then there's a strategy. Okay, first, okay, I'm talking about gospel. Anything that you're talking about, like I said, general terms, anything that you're talking about, I think it's important to put God first. I love to dedicate. I'm doing this, and this, and this, purposely for your glory. So it's all allocated to favor. All allocated to favor. It's also a struggle to push freely. If you want to come across your song, and I push, you can do it. Okay, yeah. Let's come back to your song. I was watching the video, I listened to it to a ship, you know, Shape Me Up. Yeah. What was the inspiration between Shape Me Up? What happened at the, we can forget to apply, so it comes up to God. Hey, God, please, just shape me up. Yeah, and I'm talking about a group. Yeah, I'm talking about that group. And where did something in common? After leaving high school, I joined a campus college. I was in Bakimta. I was in Kansas solo solo, but I was in a group, in Bayambaya. I checked it. So, at the moment, I'm not sure what happened. I'm not sure what happened. And in this direction, it's my life, it's in danger. So I'm not sure what happened. I was in a hurry. I was in a hurry. I was in a hurry. I was in a hurry. So I'm a role model. And it doesn't matter what you choose, like for a revelation, as long as it's not up to you, I'll take that! Yeah, interesting and remarkable. So, to be frank, many professional singers first came to Jumpazis. I chose RECP Tamam I was an actor then and then I chose RECP Tamam, and then an artist. Most of the testimonies actually, you can watch it as clear. Before, I was in my childhood. Is it because of the high-energy of the people who are buying, who are selling, who are selling, who are selling, who are gospel artists, how many experiences do you have in your life? Because, for example, in Osani Secular, when you go on to about women, drugs, sex, life, and so on and so forth, but now mostly gospel artists, so to realize it's a common pattern. What are your thoughts on this? This is my experience, God, and I came to say, I'm a lesson, I'm a teacher, I'm a lesson. So, I'm a teacher, and I don't want to be surrendered. It's like a lesson, just experience, life experience. You come back to your senses. Interesting, interesting. God will mention surrender. Some people say, I work so hard, I push so hard, I try to reach out to the producer, I try to be more precise. I put in the work, I put in the work I need to make it to a place, I'm a shindwa to Jack Fanya, I decide, what should I do? How do you feel about this? Do you think it's possible for you to come back at home? Okay, I'm sure I should give up. I do it to others. In the book of Nahum, two, I'll give up, I'll give up, two, three. I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up. Nice, thank you. To have a conversation behind the scenes, I was trying to explain to you how, Bahati and Willi Paul, when they transformed to the gospel genre, so we can shift to mainstream, we used the word mainstream to avoid saying secular. What do you think, apart from peer pressure, you mentioned a peer pressure, I think it's a thirst for fame. Do you feel like there are cells, there is money in the gospel field, because even some of the big R&B stars in your co-overseas, when you're in a kani-sani, but at some point you're going to ditch the genre, or you're going to go back to other mainstream genres? Okay, see it in the gospel, there is money in your money. Man, we know that our father is the provider. And I think it's important to understand that it's called mainstream. I think it's important to understand that it's our father. It's an illustrative strategy that we need to understand, that we need to understand it. God requires a lot of patience. If you don't have patience, then you're going to quit. So, I think God has everything, money is yours, money is yours. You need to be patient. You need to put a lot of trust in Him. Yeah. I think it's important to listen to the music. Because when you're interacting with a twin, you're coming and saying, I want to take a part in numbers, I want to make a platform for you, and then I want you to do it for me. I want to change the genre, so that the organization can accept what you want to do. For you. Personally, I love this music. I have a lot of challenges. I like to go to the studio, I want to go to Kaizo, and I want to be able to do it. I have talent, but I don't have the ability to do it. Personally, I don't have the ability to do it. I don't have the ability to do it. I'm Chinese, but I want to be able to do it. I want to recognize the talents that I have in Chinese. Like now, I'm working with my team of dancers, which I'm nurturing some of you guys there. If you want to watch my video, there is a lady by the name of Yusta. She's been nurturing her. I'm outside of 254, but she has been in my hands. So, I want to do it. I want to be able to do it. So, my prayer is to manage the talent that God has planned. I want to raise talents, I want to raise, I want to raise my talents. Awesome, amazing. Now, speaking of talents, who are some of the big collaborators that you've learned from the chance now, like Goma, Uta, Takubalia, Rakaraka, maybe some of them you want to look up to. Now, if you want to come out, just in case maybe they'll watch this show and launder this video at some point, we'll be able to find a cousin in the future. I'm a way forward. Yeah, one of them is Ila Gosa. He's a good guy. He's been doing events like this for a long time. And actually, I'm looking forward to work with him. The second guy is Gadi and Angel. He's the one who approached Marakada and he's the one who's the least. He's a chuchu. The lady by the name Chuchu. Okay. Why Gadi and Angel though? What's Gadi and Angel? He's a good guy. He's a good guy. Good guy. Okay. Let's come back still to sales and marketing. In terms of gigs, Kuchezo Akatika, Marigio Stations, Television, for you, I'll tell you before that, do you feel like you're the one who's coming and supporting you and coming back? You have to put in, you have to do something different. Like for you, you have to serve under your church and you have to support from your bishop. So, for me, I'm the one who's supporting, especially the upcoming issue. There is a lot of challenges, especially with the platform. It's just God's grace, you know, to measure it. There are so many media. You have to pay for it, but you have to give it to Kuchezo. You have to give it to Danganiatu, you have to give it to Asyum. You have to give it to Kuchezo. You have to give it to Gil. You have to give it to Fanya, you have to feel guilty. You have to give it to Sasa, you have to give it to GDValue. You have to give it to Fanya, you have to focus on the moral, you have to focus on the moral. So, that's it. That's it. That's it. Okay, speaking of that, before you even have your video played, your song played on our station, there's the aspect of the quality of the audio, the quality of the video, and the cost of the video. So, I think maybe I record a video at 3K and then I record it at the station. But at the station, I don't know if it's a stand, that's Pia, that's Kuchezo. Do you feel like Pia's lack of capital is also an issue for upcoming artists? Do you have the quality work, yes, but yes, you have the vision, you have the dream, you have the gift and the talent, but do you have a person that doesn't know how to do it? Exactly, this is the lack of capital. It's a lot of challenge. I think it's a part of the way that a person does it, but it's also the quality of it. If you want to make it the way you play it, you have to do it, you have to be patient, you have to have content, but you have to capture the quality. I think that when you have a voice, you have to have a voice, you have to have a voice, you have to have a voice, maybe you can do a voice, maybe you can do a voice, so there are a lot of challenges. And I feel that it's important to understand and understand that there are 10,000 students in the studio who have wasted money to do this. So there are a lot of challenges here. I believe as an artist, you're also a creative. We're any content creator. If you're in a mood to get into a studio, like I mentioned before, you read the Bible a lot, you call it Habakkuk, for you. The mood here is to get into your creative writing space. Especially, some people say that I'm a writer. I'm a writer who has a lot of space to interfere. I'm going to get into that space here to write lyrics. They want me to do that when someone gives me a Bible. I can't really make it to that space. If I'm just going to write an escreblant, so I can visit her room, and I'd feel that I'm going to have to move on.ере I'm a writer who doesn't listen. Shut up in my studio. I'm writing songs. Everybody has his own songs. So it's something of the sort that I'm scared to instrumental to. You know what I mean? I'm scared that I might not be able to read them. Sometimes you're not able to read them from the moment. Wow, awesome. Amazing. Yeah. Thank you for the interview. Some people say I have experienced God. I mentioned, is it your first song? You went through a fatal accident, but you survived. One attribute of your event is that you have experienced God. Come say you're back at home, and maybe you have trust in God, and you have experienced God. It's a funny idea. It's a simple process. Once you give your life to Jesus, it's a simple thing. Give your life to Christ. Also, let's come back to relationships. In church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, in church, If you want to go to Mesema or live in a new situation, how is the experience now that you are a gospel minister, do you even give us more light in that day? Okay. We are the gospel ministers. I don't know what is going on, but we are just human beings. We don't have feelings. So, I don't want to go to Mesema or live in a new situation. I don't want to go to Saudi Arabia. When the right time comes, come and go there and speak. Whatever. You are chosen, wife, husband. Yeah. Awesome. Let's come back to serving a church. You mentioned you attended a church at Kitangela. I believe that you are in every platform, C2 in mainstream. For you, do you sing a church? Do you perform? Do you get gigs? Do you interact and socialize? It's a cocoon too. It's a restricted sacoambione. It's only for the selected few. Okay. Like me, I'm going to perform mainly in my church. I'm going to organize events. I'm going to perform on platforms. I'm going to be willing to perform on a platform. I'm going to go there. I'm going to perform on a platform. At least I'm going to perform on a church. So, I'm going to perform on a platform. I want to have an event around to organize the events. So, I want to perform on a platform as long as I'm willing to perform. Yeah, I think I can go to him. One of your favorite songs. Which one is your favorite among your songs? How many audios do you have at the top? I have audios. Then I have videos in nearby villages. Two videos. Among those, which one is your favorite? Yes we hang in it. Which is in Louis I believe. Do you mind just giving us an a cappella and before that I want you to tell us if you had a chance to maybe collaborate with Willy Paul or Bahati would you take it? Badu. You won't take it? For now Badu. Maybe that gives you a chance bro to get into a bigger platform. Maybe God is using them to give you that opportunity. Do you mind saying that? Okay I know they are our brothers but they are Bahati. We are on our direction and we are at the other side. So there are some two things about light and darkness. You see those things are darkness but to speak to God, God has to speak. It's not the time to work with them. Why not? Wow okay. So you consult God first, you don't pray about it. I love the fact that you all the time before you make a decision you come back to yourself and involve God which is actually like one of the main takeout from this interview. Now before that please just a little cappella and then you can tell us your social media platforms what you are doing as a character just in case they want to book you for a gig or as a fan. So sing us one of your favorite songs just a cappella. I'll sing too. This is your day. Thank you. Now if you're watching Better Home Guys and you're not rooting out for this guy I just have no idea what you are doing because this guy is powerful guys. He's got the gift, he's got the talent, he has the ambition, he has the dream. So I believe if you're back at home and you're watching please tell us feedback on our social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Advice254Channel. But before that bro maybe if somebody wants to book you for gigs you want to go and perform. And before that you want to give credit to some of the most people who support you mostly. Some of the people in your community support Zana, some of the people who shout out, some of the people who ask for support. Please mention them first and first as you give out the info.
