Oh, absolutely I think from what I've started being alive at this moment is my greatest testimony first and foremost Nui jawezumue hanyatana. Yama niu hwafu emergency, na mwini mnote kuqaga kwa nangato'a. Yawezi, chika umi ingelimutu nambou hiu kwenjia wapitumitumunia na mwini mwini kwenjia kwenjia. Yawezi, kwa nakibutu na mwini yau ni mwini mwini kwa maia kwa karo ni, mwini matuza. Mwini matuza, hwa mwini matuza, hwa mwini matuza. yawezum usually ni iimutu semi kwenjia. I don't know if I am gonna open it up. That is my greatest praise report, because I've wanted to do this for a very long time and I wasn't able to fast informally because of the resources and the human resources. That is my greatest praise report. Then having my second book that is almost coming out that is another praise report. Then I've had a very long pre-parement for a live event. We had some kids that I was doing training and I am a vocal trainer as well so I was doing a group of them. We were preparing for Christmas so my throat has been very tired and I was on a doctor's even atasani kiape, ni kama didaktare nafa kwenyuma ni swata siyone isu That's a report So the fact that I'm even able to sing right now Oh my goodness, that is just a praise report So being here Ay, this is glory to God Singing and opening my mouth and I can sing I give God the glory So that is my greatest praise report But you look healthy and well because you are so lively about it The energy this lady is bringing is gonna pull me down Anyway, live recording I know before you got to live recording Let's take us through that journey My journey of music starts very early because my mum was born and raised in a past family so this is what was under school So church mape ma so it was by fire, by forcing which came to me Aukatai Uno punacho iskweli Wasaswa kitam butachu nyu ma ni kwanani My friend got one end a church one end a church So that was me, Ali I knew the gift of music is there So I would accompany my mum for kwaia practice So I would sing the songs that they were singing and I can still sing some of those old dying songs even now Then over time going to high school we had groups of music or where we'd entertain ourselves even for music festivals then we'd go all the way competitions would go all the way So the gift was there but then later on now when you mature now I think that was about 2016, 2017, somewhere around there is when I did my first recording of that one is going to studio with a group of friends another is called David Was it like a band? Yeah, it was a band it was a band in Scotchaka Band So then one of us was a producer she's called Paul Kenyari the one that produces all my music even to date So we went on to studio and then my first other than the other songs we had done with another group I did the cover of Wasta Hili Wasta Hili No, the cover you deserve it now in Sohili was Wasta Hili So that was my first I would say Evershi that was my first official song to go and it was beautiful because you don't know what you have in you until a demand is placed on it So going on studio so my friend David told me if I have a song then we decided that one then on the drive to the studio because when I was actually translating the Sohili the English to Sohili So we got to studio and in about I actually say in about 10 or 15 minutes I was done Serious? You're that good Well, do I want to say I'm not good because you let me not blow my own trumpet I don't know what I'm saying let me be humble Yeah, I'm not doing that cover So after doing that cover then I did several others even like the one we just sang which was Taste and See so we did my albums have a lot of original would have original and cover songs balanced it's just the last one that I've done the one that I did in November that has I think 90% of originals original songs so that has been the journey I know you gathered a few lessons Oh, absolutely Absolutely One major one is Trusting God and even like you see in the last in the songs that have come out Juzy is about I think my take has been the faithfulness of God and God is dependable God is reliable God is trustworthy he's not a man that he should lie so when he has given you something he will watch over it to perform it it may take time because at times people give up along the way you know Nikama like there's a story about Say a story of about a man that gave up 3 inches from gold I think they say that way so he had his farm and he was digging he was digging for gold he had been told that the farm has gold then he was there digging so then he was like I don't think there is gold in this so he gave up so they say he gave up then it was 3 inches to the gold so the person that got the farm at Hakustres so he came and immediately got so much gold and that is what have learnt be consistent and stay there stay there until your break comes because it will come it will come it will come it carries it carries no it carries it will come so just hold on believe in God don't give up and again at times mute the noises that you hear mute the noises mute the noises people will say I know you've heard people will think you're not good enough or you don't have what it takes una dhani weni nani weni nani tumiski awengi like who do you think you are so you have to silence to mute those voices and consistently hear the voice of God what he has said about you trust his word and along the way you will then find people that will come to support you in that in that you shared about you doing that Kava let me take you back to doko how you just wrote it in the camp I imagine you want about these other songs how do you write them how is the thought process how do you come up with all those ideas music is interesting and I think now that I've seen it I'm a writer as well for so so writing writing is interesting thoughts are constantly coming in your mind so you'll find I always have a notebook so what I will tell you guys have a notebook so where you're constantly jotting down whatever is coming in your mind because a song might come to you so where do you come from where do you combine up with your creatives where do you come from where do you come from where do you come from ricey evil so where do you come from when you say like so so like even a Bible verse so I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will feel no evil so when you think about it that way then God then a tune comes in head then I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will feel no evil like that is one of the songs that are coming so when I need it studying the word of God very key studying the word of God very key because out of the abundance of the heart so if you filled yourself with the word of God I think that's why maybe I'm making it sound easy but it's because what you spend your time on informs what comes out of you so if you're filled with the word of God if you're around the right people you'll constantly be hearing a lot of things so then in your solitude moment these things start coming out so that is how I think that for me that is how music is becoming so it will be at late at night it will be in the afternoon I'll be in a church service listening to a message the pastor is preaching I'm like oh man I'm poor and you're down before you lose it before you lose it but I will tell you now you say before you lose it I've forgotten a lot of tunes these ones own a chua record don't make a record I'm giving you a taste nili ta futa nili record basi nili ta futa what do you lose tenna aki nili lose you know how it is nili handset nili change so nika nili ta futa you say nili ta futa so I'm telling you guys I have this song and it was the longest song I'd never written but I'll tell you the story so I named the song so nika nili ta futa naka yi kwa mywa tika na mawaz tika na mawaz love na jweice but he Madam I thank God but I thank God he did me good and I just said I'm the spirit of God when I was going to to do the next day the tune came back imagine it was just God It was just God praise again What does praise mean? Praise means thank God, it means thanks God. It means for what He has done, for what He will do. It is not even a matter of thank Him and for my life. It is thinking Him that I know for a fact because He is God. He has my tomorrow, he has my future 50 years now. He has it all figured out for me, so I praise him because he's God, he's big, he's good, he's great, he's awesome. I praise him because of his nature, I praise him because of his personality, I praise him because of his wonderful names and everything that he is, that is particularly for me, that is what praises me. That he holds everything together. That driving here he kept me safe. Thank you Lord for Jani masses. That he did not allow some crazy driver to to via any party. I'm a pedestrian to just cross the road. So that he did that, I praise him. And I also want to praise him for your vocals. But you are able to praise him here. Exactly, exactly. Christmas is going to be next Sunday in plans. Plans for me. Plans for me, I'm the one that will be holding for it. So now that I'm here today, so which means on Sunday, I'm going to go out and travel. So that has been my life for many years. Because I've been a worship leader for many years. So Bishomakiriki is my pastor, deliverance church. Deliverance church is amazing. Really honor that man of God. Oh my goodness. Oh he's a gift. He's humility. Even Akirei is wapi. The doors and opportunities are open for him. But he's a humble person. He's one of those people that you look at and emulate. Because no matter how high you rise, that you're still humble, you're still reachable. That you can pick your phone and call him. And he will pick if he's not in a meeting or he's in a meeting. He will tell you and he will call you back. Oh that is just so honor. And then add security to when you can't reach him. He has a protocol. So for me, I honestly thank God for him. Because again for praying for me, nurturing me, availing that opportunity to constantly minister the word. I mean it's so small things. There's nothing like a self-made person. It's those small things meeting this person, meeting this person who speaks into your life, your teacher, your parent, your sister, people who build you. So I thank God for everyone that the Lord has used in my journey to getting me here. And he's one major person. And I've also seen him do a forward for your book The Life of a Worshiper. Yes, the Life of a Worshiper. Yes, you can also tell us, you introduce yourself as an author. Yes. I was somewhere and somebody told, a person I respect so much is a deputy prince, principal in Kambu High School. And he came and told me, I was introducing him to my book. And he told me, there is another book you will need to read. It's called The Life of a Worshiper by Eva Wajiru. Eva Wajiru. Yes. And when I checked it online on your social, then I was forwarded also by Misha Makareo. Yes, yes, yes. I think that's also something that, when you're talking about the man of God being available even to support such issues. Yes, yes, yes. You can also tell us about the book. How did you come up with the Life of a Worshiper and who did you target the book to? The Life of a Worshiper is targeted to everybody. Yes. Because people have these notions and you'll find if guys you've been in church, you'll find you've been in church. So you'll find a Worshiper and you'll find a Worshiper and you'll find a Worshiper. So you'll find a Worshiper and you'll find a Worshiper. So then they miss the most important part of the service because it's a whole thing. So get to prison worship then listen to the word because the prison worship plays a foundation. It softens your heart so that you're able to receive the word of God. So when you're in church you'll find a Worshiper and you'll find a church. So prison worship, it's a thing of emotions to come down. And now when the word of God, it makes the ground fertile for the word of God to be sold. So the life of a Worshiper came in a season where that was I think in 2017 when they started writing and I was doing these long posts and it came to Facebook because I lost long posts and I lost many hours. And these will be thoughts that will come maybe later at night. The same way when you come to the same way of writing so they will come later at night and then I'll like ok let me share this. This one is not mine so let me just share whoever it will be a blessing to that will receive it. So I will write and write and write and write and write. So one of our pastors still I thank God again for our church we have a lot of resources. One of our pastors is a publisher. So then he looked at my post and then he said no I think not only him and I think in a few other people are telling me I think you now need to turn this into a book. Actually another friend from Tanzania he kept telling me that. So then I took to him what he did he compiled all my long posts then we had a rough idea then now I came in and started writing writing now more comprehensively that is how the life of a worshipper came to be. So it is a book for all believers because we've all been called to worship. So because in there you'll find a person who is in prison worship they will get their nuggets. Then there's a topic called power of choices which is now becoming my third book from it I'm picking my third book from there which I've already started writing. So then there is about burnout dealing with burnout how do you deal when you're blessed to be a blessing a life of prayer so all those are sort of contents in the book of the life of a worshipper. How to deal with a group group dynamics so it's a book so it's both corporate it will enter both corporate and people that are in the kingdom it's a lot it's a lot amazing we're looking for to read the second book. Then the second book is called about the mindset of a Lapa's mindset. So it's about a mindset that is shifted because a lot of people expect change but they are not willing to be the change that they want to see not changing their way of thinking because everything in life begins here. So you think it it becomes it becomes so you think it it becomes so anything even right now anything that we are seeing was first thought in someone's mind so then they actualized it. So this book is about that so about thought about how people have have gone through challenges and even in his trip everyone we see as great inventors they were challenged but they stood firm and they were able to bring the change that we see.
