Speaking to Saturday Nation earlier this week, she said she had opted to first release a lyrics video through which she has shared more gospel lyrics to her  fans.

“My idea was addressing God in prayer and asking that His grace may abound in us. In spite of all challenges that we have been through, especially, it is still worthwhile trusting in the word of God,” she said.

Similarly for Purity (Purity Nyatana Kamutu) she appeals to all faithful to seek solace through listening to spiritual messages in the gospel songs through which they can get inspiration in something they have listened to.

Some of her earlier popular songs include Passion Ya Wendo, Bigger Than All My Problems, Iguru giikarokiega, Ni Mutugi, Hari Kirigiriro, Subiri and, Ungihakikisha.
