 Today is a good day. It's a beautiful day to be alive and it's a beautiful day to have you watch us you know We really appreciate you and we appreciate your feedback highly appreciate your feedback across the social media Thank you very much for having me here Really humbled like for me to be sitting right here. I'm so humbled. My name is And I was like Do music Hope not as a prophet but as evangelize it I'm an evangelizer Later when I was I didn't imagine what here and talking about music I would change it I didn't know what was happening to me because I had ulcers I think I've had chronic ulcers I think I've had chronic ulcers because all the time there's this particular time when there became very severe it was collapsing and not just maybe I should seek I mean like more opinions from other doctors was sent to a cardiologist after I'd been waiting for him for like the whole morning so he told me oh I was like I'm here now and he tells me and you have to go for an open heart surgery I'm not sick I have ulcers and I really want to go home because nobody knows I'm here I just came for a check up and he and if you're not going to you have to give a deposit some money before we start the operation because it has to be immediately and I'm looking at him and he goes you have to give a deposit of 500,000 shillings child I was like 500 I mean like just walking and somebody said a new 500,000 I told him I don't have that kind of money I love who he's like right now then you've not treated me so what am I signing I mean what am I signing and he goes no you have to sign I told him no I'm not signing let me go home and come back I mean like why is he forcing me to sign I'm not his patient then I thought maybe he wants to hold me because of the 500,000 I was like no I'm not but I'm a bit scared then he goes okay now you have to no you have to take this medication then you come back I looked at him I told him excuse me can I please have something to sleep because all this time I couldn't sleep for like 2 weeks I could not close my eyes so I was really tired my body was shivu I was really bad and he goes he looks at me I told him can I have some medications to make me sleep a bit I just want just one minute sleep only just close my eyes looks at me and like if you make it by Monday I was like yeah if you make it by Monday then we can no I looked at him and I was so scared then a voice just came to me I said I will sign those papers bring them here I'll sign them and I signed them I told him give them to me I'm going no I was really scared I took the prescription and I went away but I was so scared and I was like ok here I'm dying because I was really sick and I couldn't breathe and you know when you can't breathe I mean that's life breathing is life and if you can't breathe so I just took my car and I was driving slowly towards home wondering ok what do I do so I called my brother my brother lives here in Nairobi and I told him ok my brother is called Jeff I was like Jeff I've been given 3 days to live I'm not well I was like ok I'll come but for now let me go home and rest a bit because I was really sick and as I was driving I was sweating profisiously and my hands were I had sharp pains in my hands I was really feeling bad and I was sweating I didn't know that when you sweat when you're having a heart attack your body sweats it's like somebody has poured water on you so all those time fainting and being unconscious those were mild heart attacks it was not just being unconscious so that's when the 5th time it was really bad so I went back home and I called a friend of mine I told people here and there bye bye bye like you guys and I was thinking because I was really feeling bad you're actually thinking you're going because I couldn't breathe and the pain was too severe when you're having a heart attack and when the heart has a problem everything inside seems to be crumpling so I really thought this is it I called a few people like my best is like you guys bye I'll keep it I said no I'm not joking like you guys bye and if you know then I'm like when my friend told me no car away are you I said I'm driving she told me just stop there so she came, picked me up and then we went and got to medication and I'm like do I need the medication I'm dying and I mean the chemist ladies were like don't worry if he gave him medication that means there's a solution somewhere just go and take the medication and you know you'll be well but I didn't say it so those three days I was really scared but Monday came I was looking at myself okay I'm still there then I tried to like confess and like repent like just forgive me because when you die you have to repent I've told people bye I've told people bye I'm trying to repent I'm trying to remember what I've done which is so bad that God I mean I want to go to heaven again but I can't even I can't you know I can't there's no I can't talk I mean the pain is too much so I was just like God even if I'm not saying how I mean how I'm confessing I'm doing it in my mind just listen to me you know like I'm sorry I did this how did I do it and go to it out anyway Monday came and then I went I said okay I was still alive and I thought maybe now I should go to Nairobi so I went I went to the bank so I can pick some money and you know so I couldn't climb the stairs so I called the bank manager like help me here he comes Karo what's happening because I really looked bad so I explained to him and he told me just go home just go home I will do anything everything for you because I really looked bad I lost weight I had changed I was gray you know I just look terrible so I went home then he calls me and tells me okay there's a doctor who's also a banker here with us and I've told him your situation and he wants you to come and see him like immediately I was like okay fine but then I was like do I go I mean after all I'm dying what's the point of seeing another doctor I was really feeling bad but I went to the doctor he examined me and this one really examined me properly and I saw he did the ECG the echo everything at least I knew whatever he tells me it will make sense because he has examined me the other one just looked at the report but the report says a lot I didn't know that's when I realized the five times I was unconscious it was not just it was mild heart attacks so he looks at me and tells me lady I'm so sorry but from now needle to mouth you have to go to hospital I don't have money for the first thing because like now you guys are good to ask somebody again you're thinking about your 500 yeah although I ended up using more but then I was like I don't have money he told me that one would close the bridge but right now needle by mouth you have to be admitted and just take it slow because we'll do it in the morning because in the evening so I was fine and the next day I was on the operating table as we speak to you now it is five years down the line I have two stents in my heart I live on medication but I thank God you're here I'm talking about it we give you some tissue that's why I always have a show I'm sorry so that's my story and after that after it took me like two years before I was normal again because the pain or something in the heart it's a foreign thing so it takes time for the body to get used and then later I went back to although it'll never be the same again it's not normal but I still do my stuff here and there I can't do heavy stuff but I still do I still do everything and without knowing nobody ever knows what the problem is so one day I would just and then I was telling God every day I kept on telling God thank you every day I kept on telling God thank you and then this particular and I kept on saying and I was singing and you know I said that singing telling God thank you and one day I'm driving here with one of my sons like one of someone who is very close to me to me is like my son and we were going to do some project somewhere and I told him then I was singing and I tell him I would love to record this song just to tell God thank you for what he has done to me because they all know what I went through and he was like mam why don't you go ahead and do it just shoot I said really just record it no not shoot just record it I was like really he said yeah just do it and I said okay the next day I was in the studio recording my song and telling God thank you like that's my first song I wrote called Na Shukuru that is my first album I wrote the song Na Shukuru that was my first song and the guy he's called I mean I really he's the backbone of all this because if it wasn't for him or that conversation we had in the car I wouldn't have gone ahead yeah so that's how I started and I really appreciate him his name is Robert Maver and he has fixed productions he has his own small thing which is really great and he's the reason why actually he encouraged me and here I am how have the challenges you faced shaped your music the greatest challenge I have is health because I really do this and I look strong but sometimes I'm in so much pain and that is the greatest challenge that I've had sometimes I'm really challenged but when I'm out there to sing I don't even think about it I just glorify the Lord and what goes on at first it began as you trying to thank God for what he has done for you how has your music grown from that point to now it has really grown because I've done three albums and I'm working on my fourth album so it has really grown because every time I am like God you know and I'm reading the Bible I'm praying I'm like oh God you can't do this and this can be a good message to people so and I make sure that my music is a bit different it's a sing along you know I hate when I go somewhere and I want to sing somebody's song and I can't get it so I try to make my songs very easy so that people can sing along easily and you know so all of my songs are just messages I'm still in that point of I know trying to absorb everything you do a lot of things you've mentioned you're a philanthropist you're a musician you're a business woman how do you prioritize your work well when it comes to music I would not it is just like part of me I walk with it because I sing everywhere whatever I'm doing I'm singing and because I don't do this I do this as a ministry not as an industry I'm just evangelizing because I'm trying to make people to know out there what God can do because actually he can you know I used to hear things you know God can do you know I never believed this he really gave me a second chance so what I do I'm evangelizing I'm a minister I'm ministering so it to me I don't that is something that works with me then when it comes to my reach out project I just reach out to children in the slums just like that like so it's not heavy at all not heavy and my business I have a small cultural center where so I don't have to be there so I can balance I balance but the first priority is giving thanks to God and telling people out there what God can do what will you have told your younger self if I had known how sweet it is to bring out of that singing because I used to sing a lot and right now I think I would have been known all over the world because I would really I love singing but I would really have here I wish I knew what mistakes will do want to correct probably you did in your younger years oh my God there are so many if I start listing up I don't even know how to start give us one or two I was never patient very impatient describe the story of my life I was very impatient I wish I was patient maybe things would have gone better I was very impatient with every edition that I took I was never patient that carol you have a song it happened you have a song you've released recently you want to talk about it as we close up actually this song the way you described me when I walked in here you thought I was not Kenyan and everywhere I go nobody believes I'm Kenyan I tell them hey I'm Kenyan until I speak that means I'm Luya Buwan and I just tried to make it hey I'm a Luya nobody believes me I did my first song it's called Calvary but then it didn't sit people kept on saying look at the way you sing look at your accent I'm like which accent is this I tried to turn down and I said anyway sorry it's just in me I didn't go to those schools I'm just so excited okay this time I'm going to do a Luya song Luya song Kabisa like my mother tongue and the song is called Langa Jesu like call to Jesus in every situation that you are in just call to Jesus just call on him and the song that's why the song in Luya it is Langa call and Jesus so it says call to Jesus in any situation he will be there and it's a Luya vibe so I really want people to see the vibe is a bit Luya that's amazing something we should look forward to a project of music you're doing just let me not let the cut out of the bag so it's a surprise big surprise yes amazing amazing thank you so much in future we have to wind up this session but I want you to give your parting shot using that camera tell us something parting shot and also give us your social media handles where we can find you Nausalimi anewa Luya manapela salamu Osana already I'm itching let's just say Salamu Spatia no booking of Salamu anyway I appreciate all the views who are watching me and I say that thank you for listening to me and I love you all and remember that what they say that the doctor can say that God is the final answer it is really too I can I can stand up to be guilty and another thing I would say I would like to I would like to thank to Kuzo award crew they are the ones who are behind my media tour I really appreciate them but because of them I couldn't be here I didn't even know some things are done till now they came into
