We're taking it back, TBT, but we're also kind of vibing to the sound of almost weekend. Are you excited? My Fridays are just the fact that it's Friday, it's just making me happy, it's almost Friday rather. Alright, so my name is Val, but of importance you are watching Y in the morning, only on channel Y254, home of exclusivity. Now if you'll just allow my guest to introduce herself. Hi. How are you? I'm fine, thank you. You look very, very fabulous. Oh, thank you. You also look amazing. Oh, thank you. Please say hello to your fans both old and new and introduce yourself. Okay, thank you for this opportunity. Good morning everyone, my fans and my friends who are watching me online. My name is Angela Okach for those who don't know me, but I'm Angie Okach on the social media and I'm a songwriter, a musician and on the side I'm also a hairdresser. Alright, welcome, welcome Angie. Maybe we can start with the song that is playing in the background rather. Adminia Okach, Angie Okach, thanks. So tell me what's going on here and it looks so good, oh my gosh. Oh, thank you. I'm even confused, I don't even know where to start from. Let's start with the production before we get into the actual content. Who shot this video? A friend of mine, his name is Mike. Mike? Yeah, on social media. Thank you, he's known as Mewo BP on social media. Okay. And is this a studio? Is this just a space? Oh, this is church, I fellowship here. It's called Reconciliation at the Cross Center. This is where I serve. It's in Ngara? Yeah, just in Ngara. You're welcome to visit us. If only just to see it because it looks so amazing. Alright, and this ensemble if I could just say, is this a band that you sing with? Or is it just you guys just by being one day and then decided to go? Well, these are different people. My friends, the guy standing behind is a music producer. There's a lady doing the backup, this one. Her name is Mary, she's a vocal coach and also a singer. The rest are also, they are my friends and they play instruments. I want friends like yours. So this is a song you wrote? Yeah, I write songs. And this is one of them I wrote for my latest album. The name of the song is Do. And yeah, it's basically about the word of God. It's giving, it's giving Hillsong, it's giving Maverick, it's giving very good vibes. I want to confirm. Hashtag is best advice. Alright, tell me about Do before we get into the albums and all that niceness. Yes, a laugh on a cast match. Okay, tell me about Do. Okay, Do is a song that talks about God and His word. Because I'm a Christian, I believe in the word of God. And it just talks about how God has written everything we need for this life in His word. And if we refer to the word of God, it will guide us in everything that we need concerning life. And there are some things God has promised us that He's going to do for us. So to find those promises, definitely we have to study the word of God. And we have to constantly think about what God has said in this journey. So that's how the song came about. That it's word based and the word is both for me and God. That I have to study God's word so that He can be able to fulfill it in my life. And it's also just an encouragement to other people to just hold on to the word of God and keep studying and searching what they need. I was once, I don't know if it was a conversation we were having or listening to something, but how much of progression can one person make if they only study the word or believe that God exists on Sunday or Saturday only. Is it possible to just open the Bible on Saturday and Sunday and then close it up and then face the world and the world can be kind of tough if you don't know the world can be a bit tough. And then you forget about it, then you think about it maybe the next Sunday or maybe the other other Sunday or Saturday. How plausible is that? I can say our physical body requires food every day like we eat in the morning, at lunch and in the evening to nourish our physical body. And our spiritual body is just as equally important as our physical body. So we need to nurture ourselves with the word of God and study it every day. And in our church we have a Bible devotion that we are going through every year as a group so that keeps us accountable like when we study together we are like wow this is good. So it's supposed to be a daily theme you can't survive on the word on Sunday alone because you don't eat food on Sunday alone. It's true. Because I love food you've touched on and I'm a really big fan of sustenance. I like it. George tells me he's a very integral part of your fellowship or your music. Please tell me about that. Because I've heard that in the International Women's Day you say mama. I just want to recognize that. We fellowship together. He's such an amazing friend. I love him in church. He's a photographer. He's a friend to everyone. And he's a man of God. Let me just say he's a man of God. A man of prayer. A man of integrity. But he's been there for us as a church. I want one. It's wonderful. How are we still talking about you George? I know him as someone just a united fan. Very different platform. All right. Tell me about your first ever album before now we get to the makings of your second. Okay. My first album I got to do it in is it 2020 that COVID the COVID outbreak him. So I remember before then I used to be so busy. Of course I had time with God but it wasn't quality time with God. Like I would be rushing through the mornings and evenings and not spending enough time. But I remember when the COVID outbreak him it slowed me down because now I had to spend a lot of time in the house. I wasn't working as much and in that time I got to spend more time with God. And God began to give me songs. Because I believe when you're in his presence he can speak to you. So he began to give me songs and at some point the guy who produced for me the first album because I remember I had written one or two songs but I was unsure how I'm going to produce or sing them. So the guy who did for me the first album at some point called me and he was like Angi, so when are we starting to sing when can I produce for you a song and at that point I felt like it was God who was telling me it's time to start writing songs. So I remember I asked him to send me a sample of the kind of content he does. So he sent for me and I was like oh I like that. That's right, you think very fast. Yeah, because as a musician there is what you have in mind of what you want in a song you have to work with someone who is able to deliver what you need. You know your wife, I like it. Then he sent the sample and then what happened? At that time I think I had two songs so I had a couple of audio songs like there are times God would give me a song and then I would just hum anything on my phone and store it. So I had I think one or two and then now I put lyrics to one of the songs and I send it to him and then he did for me an instrumental of how it would sound like and I liked it. So now we began to plan on how go to the studio at that time it's two songs and then God began to like push me to do more songs so I decided oh why not do eight all of them together so that's how we did my first album has eight songs I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that so we got to do the eight songs and released them in August of 2021 Where? So you just start singing in both albums there's some artists who take quite a long time before they and they don't even jump to an album first they start with an AP give us like three, four, five tracks wow impressive so you said do is part of your second album tell me how that's coming on um how is that coming on? shaping it's coming well I look at it this way that I'm growing when I listen to my first album and the second one that I've done I can see the progress that I'm making so it's not a thing that has gone boom and hit all over but I love to see the progress it's making in comparison to the other one like this one I've gotten a wider audience it's growing and more viewership so yeah and I put all the songs on the other audio channels which are available online but for YouTube because I've been doing videos I've been posting one video at a time and hope to keep doing them in intervals so how many songs does the second album have? it has seven but I've done six of them one of them is a friend of mine who's written and done so I'll keep posting tell me about that one with your friend is it very hard to have a collaboration the same way with now the producer the message I was getting is yes you need to know if it delivers you also need to know that your energies sink you in the same place so was it difficult for you to have another person put their vocals in your album? no it wasn't I had planned to do eight songs but things didn't go the way I had hoped and so I just decided let's do seven and I think I was a bit also overwhelmed because I had a time limit which I wanted to finish so her name is Mary so I just told her Mary can you just do for me this song ya ya the lady sitting she's Mary so I asked her I sent her an audio of something I wanted to do and then she told me let me just change it and do something so I just told her it's up to you you can just change the song to whatever suits you you feel comfortable with so we did that and now that was my main song in the album what is it called? it's called Sature to me ya namuko namajena boan ya does it okay I'm trying to understand because I'm not quite a songwriter myself but when you write the song does the title come with the inspiration or do you kind of just look at what the lyrics and then figure it out on the way what happens there some of the songs or most of them they are based on my daily work with God because that's where everything for me comes from like the church I used to go to a different church before I joined the current one and we even there we started studying the word of God like on a yearly basis so that has helped me to be able to to write songs that are based on scripture and even how to just continue studying the word in the church where I am it's actually a good thing because it's just a continuation so most of my songs are based on what I've studied about the word of God about himself and myself and the issues of life so when it comes to a title I think when I'm singing maybe a chorus or a verse I'm like the song sounds better when we give it this new message actually in the message you want to convey about the song do you have a favorite song of yourself that you have sang and written? imagine I don't have any favorite songs like your children you love them all equally I love every song because each song tells me something different and unique but people are the ones who are like I like this one more than the other one and it's okay there's nothing wrong with them but for me I love all of them and there are times I just sit down on a Saturday and just listen to all of the songs I've done I'm like wow the song is speaking to me even though I'm the one who wrote what kind of special when you can actually listen to something that you've already done and still touches you even in a different way than when you were feeling when you were writing it that's true okay in conclusion maybe I'll just step away from the music and ask you how you spent your international women's day do you have a lady in your life that you really respect or ladies or group or anyone that you'd like to say hello to today although it was yesterday but international women's day is the whole month hey shout out Rina I forgot to talk to you in the morning yesterday but here we are yeah I think only men are special you're diplomatic it's true but I love my mum okay she's in heaven I know she's still alive but I still love her I know she's getting this message and I love the people that have worked with me in this work of faith and at the moment I'm working with the people in the chachua eteloshiv and one of the people I respect a lot and look up to is our pastor her name is Reverend Danuka Sanja she's a strong woman she's wise and she's so loving so I love her I love every other person if I begin to mention them by name like the list is endless we might forget one and we don't want that in conclusion how do we find you on social media my songs are available they are on YouTube on YouTube my name is Angio Kach actually all my social media my name is Angio Kach and please subscribe and you can stream my music that would be a blessing both to you and to me and I'm also on Spotify you can follow me on Spotify on Boom Play on Apple, on Deezer ya like all the available music platforms you can find me there you're very serious then I can follow you on Spotify by there I've just discovered Spotify just a few and you can follow me but it's my own journey thanks Hatch 5.4 please follow Y254 channel on Twitter hashtag of the days Thursday 5s we are not done with you yet so please stay keep it here keep it Y254
