She took a break to work on her business, which did not pan out. She later got pregnant and welcomed her son before suffering from post-partum depression after the birth, which she says it is one of the most difficult things she has ever been through. She has now decided to get born again and go the gospel way.
Wahu
When Wahu released her beautiful song Sifa late last year, she got tongues wagging. Many assumed that she had once again schooled gospel artistes on how to write good songs to praise God while others speculated that she might have gotten saved.
During one interview, she cleared the air and indeed confirmed that she had dedicated her life to Christ.
Cece Sagini
Cece Sagini actually started out in music as a gospel artiste but somewhere along the way she switched camps. Her first gospel song was Sio Mwisho, which was released in 2013 and she also collaborated with Jimmy Gait for the song Appointment.
Along the way she went under for some time before making a comeback when she featured in Octopizzo’s I’m a Doer, which announced her arrival in the secular world. She got married to photographer Victor Peace and has since gone back to her gospel roots, admitting that she was brought up in a Christian background but had been blowing hot and cold.
She has released a gospel song, Come Down, marking her new chapter in the gospel industry.
DNA
DNA first came on to the secular scene with his hit song Banjuka, which was a certified club banger. He then got immersed in the all-too familiar tragedy in the secular industry of alcoholism.
After his recovery, he appeared to have seen the light and released a gospel song Mtoto wa Sonko featuring Kambua and Isaac Kahurah.
This did not last as he came back with Maswali ya Polisi and featured in the remix of Dumbala and Fimbo Ya Pili. In a radio interview, the hit maker admitted to sliding back into drinking.
DNG
The radio presenter and MC calls himself the number one hype man in Kenya. The Kora award winner was once the golden boy of the gospel scene, before falling off the bandwagon, dabbling in secular and finally opting to be an MC and presenter.
His personal life has not been without drama, from a hyped engagement that sadly ended in a failed marriage, to claims of harassment.
The line that he was buying the alcohol for friends quickly unravelled when he was caught out on different occasions enjoying a pint.
He would eventually come out openly declaring that he couldn’t take it any longer in the gospel scene and that he is now full-time in the secular scene.
Willy Paul
With the launch of his label, Saldido records, we broke the news here last week that the singer is set to ink a deal with Diamond’s Wasafi records as Diamond looks to spread his wings and expand his record label to East Africa.
