Hmmm,
about my little beginning hmmm. It is well o. Okay erm; I started singing
because I loved it. But at the unset people mocked at me because of my
expressional nature on stage. I
struggled with people understanding me Kai it was bad o. I remembered crying
many times to God that why didn’t he make me as calm as other people. But now I
give glory to God for making me Me. I just kept singing passionately, setting
goals and achieving them. For instance I enter a choir and then tell
myself that in the next 6 months , I
will be the leading female lead
singer in it and I work towards it till it happens. Dou a little extended in the
time frame some times, but they always come true.

Hmmm because music is relaxing for me, so is being a presenter. But yes I flex abit with friends , I see movies
once in a while due to
my tight schedule, I go to church ……Yes it relaxes me and
motivates me also.
And I spend time with the people I love.

Of course anointed
atmosphere inspire my song but sometimes songs come to me in a bus, kitchen,
bathroom or where ever. But usually when I finished praying.
10. When
you are on stage ministering who do you see yourself reach out to?
When am on stage
ministering, I basically connect to God, then flow to the people. I led people
to enjoy his presence which is the best place to be .God always helps me do
this, because on my own, I am nothing.
Am still discovering my style of music. But for now, I know that I have
strength in reggae. I am blessed for it.
I do almost all. It’s beyond style for me. It’s about my message. And so far my
music appeals to every age group because Gods hand is on it. I love to share stage with Tye Tribbet
because he is just like me in many ways. I can’t wait to go crazy on stage in
anointed worship with Tye Tribbet.
