According to him: “I love to lead God’s people in praise and worship,
because to me, it is one of the biggest opportunities I have received
from God. I do other genre of music though, but I love to praise and
worship Jesus all the time. It’s a blessing to be in a position where
God can trust you to lead his people in songs of praise and worship to
him. So, in all, I can say I do songs that bless and reach the spirit,
soul and bodies of my listeners,” he said, adding that, “I am a
recording artiste, my first album was released in November 2009, I
released a single, ‘Great and Mighty God’ in 2007 and the song is
fulfilling its purpose.”
