******************************************* WAS IT MEANT TO BE? ******************************************* I AM ZIMBABWEAN BORN AND RAISED. BECOMING A GOSPEL MUSICIAN IS NOT ONLY A DREAM BUT, I BELIEVE ONE OF THE DAYS THIS MIGHT BECOME REAL. I WONDER WHEN ITS GONNA BE BUT I AM STILL CLINGING TO HOPE. I HAVE BEEN WRITING FOR YEARS; LOADS AND LOADS OF SONGS HAVE BEEN PENNED MORE STILL COMING AND PILING UP. GOD IS AMAZING! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A MUSICIAN. I RECALL WHEN I WAS YOUNG WE USED TO IMITATE FAMOUS ARTISTS WITH OTHER KIDS, PLAYING HOMEMADE DRUMS AND GUITARS. IT NEVER ACTUALLY DAWNED ON ME THAT I WOULD BE WRITING MY OWN SONGS AND FINALLY INTEND TO RECORD THEM. FRANKLY, MY FIRST SONGS WERE SECULAR AND I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF WRITING OR SINGING RELIGIOUS SONGS. IN 1997, I APPROACHED ONE POPULAR ZIMBABWEAN GOSPEL ARTIST IN CHITUNGWIZA (I WONDER WHERE HE AND HIS WIFE ARE NOW!) TO DISCUSS MY RECORDING INTENTION AND FOR SOME ADVICE. THATS WHEN I REALISED I HAD TO COMPOSE RELIGIOUS SONGS. I WROTE FIVE SONGS ON THAT DAY WHICH ARE ON MY LONG SONG LIST TO DATE. WHEN I LEAST EXPECTED IT; NEW LYRICS RELATING TO THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST, INSTANTLY SUBSTITUTED THE SECULAR ONES. TO SAY THE LEAST, I WAS SURPRISED! IT WAS IN 2004 AND 2006 WHEN I DID SOME DEMO CDs AND A PERSONAL MUSIC VIDEO FOLLOWED A YEAR LATER. I DONT ONLY FOCUS ON POLISHING MY LYRICS BUT I AM ALWAYS REHEARSING AND TRAINING MY VOICE WHENEVER I GET A CHANCE. FOR ME ITS NOT TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF OR MAKE ENDS MEET. JUST HAVING THEM ON A CD WITH A FEW PEOPLE LISTENING,IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME.******************************************* CURRENTLY THATS HOW IT STANDS, A DREAM........ WILL IT EVER COME TRUE? ONLY JESUS CHRIST KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. I AM WAITING FOR GOD TO BLOW THE WHISTLE FOR ME TO CRACK ON. I BELIEVE; WHEN ITS TIME TO STEP IN THE STUDIO ,THERE WILL BE NOMORE STUMBLING BLOCKS. WHEN ITS THE TIME, ALL NECESSARY HELP, ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE WILL COME MY WAY.I WONT LET ANYTHING HOLD ME BACK THUS WILL KEEP STRIVING HARD UNTIL I GET THERE. I AM A SANGUINE PERSON AND AM ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC ABOUT THIS. MY PASSION FOR GOSPEL MUSIC IS SO STRONG BUT ITS ONLY THE LORD WHO CAN MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, HE PLANS AND ALLOWS SO MY TRUST IS IN HIM. ITS NOT FOR THE SAKE OF IT BUT FOR THE LOVE OF IT. DESPITE COMMENCING MY SONG WRITING INDULGENCE IN 1995 AS A TEENAGER; I AM IN NO RUSH TO RECORD AND RELEASE A CD JUST BECAUSE A LOT OF ARTISTS HAVE DONE SO BUT, I WILL IF ONLY GOD WANTS ME TO, HE DECIDES. I AM TAKING THIS SLOWLY, PATIENTLY, AND EARNESTLY BUT NDANETA NEKUNGONYORA MASONGS INI, I WANT TO BE IN THE STUDIO. IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE, IT WILL BE. SO BE IT!!!******************************************* FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO SENT ME ENCOURAGING MESSAGES AND OFFERS TO HELP ME EMBARK ON MY SINGING AMBITION. I AM SO HUMBLED BY YOUR KINDNESS AND IN SHOCK! I HAD APPROACHED A COUPLE OF ARTISTS BEFORE; WAS IGNORED AND GOT NO REPLIES TO REQUESTS AND EMAILS SO, I DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING! CONSEQUENTLY ;WHEN ALL OFFERS STARTED POURING, I WASNT FULLY PREPARED. ITS HARD PUTTING INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE AND HOW GRATEFUL I AM. I SHALL GET INTOUCH AND KEEP YOU UPDATED ON ANY PROGRESS. GOD BLESS!!! ******************************************
