Shiru WA GP Music
She got great support from her husband Anthony towards the realisation of her dream of becoming a good Gospel musician. Anthony would play the keyboard as she practised and later programme them for her. However, she could not raise enough money to record the songs. She therefore decided to seek the help from her pastor Mr Hinga and he organised a fundraiser for to help record the songs.She then recorded her first song called Muoroto at Big Heart Studios.
Soon after recording the songs,she embarked on the journey of marketing the music. She visited several places to popularize the songs and lucky enough God helped to make some good sales. By this time, Anthony was back in college to complete his course and i had to assume the role of providing for our small family.Two years later, I recorded another song called Agiginyani. This song was aimed at motivating her not to give up regards of the challenges they were going through as newly wedded couples.
She was working at Wilson Airport when the song hit the market – with a bang. She decided to leave her job at Wilson Airport so as to concentrate in the marketing of the new song which was no doubt very promising. Because of her song, so many opportunities opened up for her in a manner that I she had never imagined before. One of the high profile invitations she received because of the new recording was an invite to perform in the United States of America. She stayed in America for three months and visited more than 10 states in the US.
She could hardly believe the president-like receptions she received everywhere she visited. But By the time she was leaving the US, people were still asking for more of my performance.
More important, music is all about being original, yes, remaining yourself all the time.
