..BORN AND EDUCATED IN GWERU, ZIMBABWE IN A FAMILY OF THREE AND BEING THE ONLY GIRL, I WAS BORN LAST. LATER ON IN OUR LIVES AS A FAMILY WE SUFFERED BIG TIME. THE PLACE WHERE WE USED TO CALL HOME CEASED TO BE, THE GOING GOT TUFF! THE DEVIL BECAME SO REAL & FEAR WAS OUR DAILY BREAD. THERE WAS NO MORE SHELTER & I MOVED FROM RELATIVE TO RELATIVE, NO-ONE WOULD ACCOMMODATE ME FOR LONG, YOU WOULD HEAR ANOTHER WHISPERING... 'SHE HAS TO LEAVE BY TOMORROW', AND I WOULD SOB ALL NIGHT AS I KNEW NO PLACE TO GO. I BECAME SO BITTER WITH PEOPLE. A DAY CAME WHEN I WAS JUST WALKING IN THE STREETS OF BULAWAYO WHEN A COUSIN FOUND ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW. HE TOOK ME TO A FAMILY OF GOD ANNUAL CONVENTION AT THE TRADE FARE GROUNDS. I HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A POWERFUL AND ANOINTED SERVICE AS THIS ALL MY LIFE. IT WAS AS IF MY COUSIN HAD TOLD THEM ALL MY TROUBLES. SHUVAI AND JONATHAN WUTAWUNASHE MADE ME REALISE MY PURPOSE FOR LIVING, AS THEY SUNG 'HAUNA KUZVARIRWA NHAMO IWE'; WHICH MEANS YOU WERE NOT BORN TO SUFFER. THEN CAME PROPHET ANDREW WUTAWUNASHE WITH A WORD THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF MY LIFE - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I SAW AND FELT THE TOUCH OF GOD AND I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS - AWESOME. I CAN NEVER FORGET, & HOW CAN I. THE CONVENTION ENDED AND I HAD TO FACE THE WORLD AND ITS CHALLENGES AGAIN. I HAD NOWHERE TO GO AS USUAL & WAS ASHAMED TO TELL THE CHURCH. I BRAVED MY SOUL AND WENT BACK HOME TO GWERU, UPON ARRIVAL I FEARED FOR MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN, AND WENT TO MY AUNT; HER DAUGHTER, NOW DECEASED, TOOK ME UP TO MVUMA, AND LOOKED AFTER ME, FOR A SHORT PERIOD. DUE TO SEQUENCE OF SOME EVENTS IN MY LIFE, I AND MY ACQUIRED FRIENDS STARTED GOING PLACES, FOLLOWING RUMBA MUSICIANS FROM DRC, ANYTHING TO DO WITH RUMBA/SOUKOUS WOULD BE THE BEST TO THE EAR. THE SOUND OF ITS LEAD GUITAR WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. THAT'S HOW ME AND MY FRIENDS GOT SO ADDICTED TO RUMBA MUSIC. ALMOST EVERYONE I KNEW AND MY CLOSE FRIENDS & ASSOCIATES DIED OF AIDS BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS PERCEIVED WRONGLY. I AM STILL ALIVE AND HEALTHY TODAY, NOT BECAUSE I WAS WISER OR DID LESS THAN THEM. HIS GRACE TOOK ME THIS FAR SO THAT I GO BACK 'N BRING HOPE TO GOD'S PEOPLE, IN A UNIQUE WAY. I RELATE MY LIFE TO THAT OF A STREET KID... MY HEART ACHES FOR STREET KIDS ALL OVER THE WORLD, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, BUT GOD DELIVERED ME OUT OF IT SO I CAN GO BACK TO THEM & GIVE THEM HOPE WITH A TRUE TESTIMONY AND A REAL ENCOUNTER OF GOD'S LOVE. MY HEART ACHES FOR THOSE VERY SPECIAL LADIES WASTING THEIR LIVES IN THE STREETS, PUBS AND NIGHT CLUBS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME BUT GOD DELIVERED ME INORDER THAT I GO BACK TO SHED LIGHT AND GIVE HOPE IN PLACES WHERE I WAS ONCE DROWNING IN DARKNESS. I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT TO ACCOMPLISH - TAKING HIS WORD OF POWER AND HEALING TO NATIONS, PROCLAIMING HIS GLORY 'N POWER, THROUGH SONGS IN A LANGUAGE AND STYLE WHICH THE WORLD AND THOSE LOST IN DARKNESS CAN UNDERSTAND, GIVING BACK TO GOD TRUE AFFECTION THROUGH MUSIC COZ HE IS THE CREATOR OF AFFECTION & LOVE. GOD CREATED ONE OF THE MOST AFFECTIONATE & PASSIONATE BEATS LIKE RUMBA/SOUKOUS SO WE CAN SEE HEAVEN OPENING AS WE PRAISE & WORSHIP HIM - WHERE NO-ONE WILL BE HURT, WHERE NOBODY WILL DIE. BEING A MUSICIAN NEVER WAS MY INTENTION BUT A CALLING. I STARTED RECORDING AFTER A MIRACULOUS HEALING WHEN GOD GAVE ME BACK MY LIFE. IN DECEMBER 2004, I RECORDED MY DEBUT ALBUM FROM DESPAIR TO DESTINY IN ZAMBIA & A DVD IN THE UNITED KINGDOM (C)2005. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK, I HAVE RECORDED 3 MORE ALBUMS; I'M REDEEMED (C)2006, AIN'T GIVIN' UP (C)2007; ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE (C)2008. MAY THE LORD SURELY VISIT YOU ALL. NEVER GIVE UP... COZ I AIN'T! WILL YOU STAY IN GOD'S PERFECT PEACE FOR ME, DON'T DIE BUT LIVE & LEAVE A LEGACY IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS THIS YEAR*** SHALOM!
