Third Album

2019

Vanondichengeta

It has been a wonderful journey of self discovery as an artist. I had the opportunity of working with different producers on the third album and I have learnt so much from each producer which enriches your singing, artistry and composing skills.

The title track Vanondichengeta is a collaboration with Bethen Pasinawako Ngolomi and Kudzi Nyakudya. It's a song that talks about how God is our protector and it doesn't matter if people look down upon you as ultimately God comforts you and magnies things you are good at. The general message carried in the album is of the unending love God gives even when things get hard like in Makata, which stresses the importance of prayer amid all of life’s adversities.
