First Ever Gospel Artist Signed to Ogopa DJs Reaches another First for Self & Record Label

 

Since its inception in the late 1990s, Ogopa Deejays has produced the biggest artistes and songs in the industry some of which are still a hit today. However, the record label has never released an album by a Gospel artiste.

And now 26 year old Silas Mwenda is here to change that. The only Gospel artiste signed by Ogopa, he’ll not only be the first artist to release an album at the stable but the Gospel album will also be the first for Ogopa.

In 2010, he released his debut song, Nakuhitaji, which did very well both locally and internationally winning Silas nominations and consequent awards in an American music awards in 2012. All this came as a surprise to him because he was able to achieve so much within a short time.

And now, Silas is ready to drop his album to the world.

Dubbed, Hakuna Matata, the 10-track album was produced and mastered at Ogopa Deejays studios in Nairobi. The album, with an international outlook, is set to drop next month.

 

 

 

“I’ve named HAKUNA MATATA for easier international branding because I now have a some following from around the globe.The songs are in English, Swahili and my mother tongue, Kimeru, and they revolve around the contemporary Christian way of life,” explains Silas.
