His lover, Nyawira, couldn’t hide her joy after the proposal;

Forever looks promising for sure. I knew 2021 would be a good year but goodness me…its already began to surpass my wildest imagination.

I am amazed at how loved I felt.@mojishortbabaa let’s make eternal memories filled with laughter, dance, song and love”

Marriage Works!

Sharing a lovely photo in their wedding outfits, the two lovebirds gushed over each other.

Moji wrote to Nyawira saying;

Moji Short Baba Vs Guardian Angel Vs Pitson: Who is the best gospel songwriter?

The gospel industry has many talented artists, ther’s no deny that. This easily evidenced by the numerous gospel hits that we are trated to every now and then.

Apart from having talented gospel singers, Kenya also has talented songwriters i.e. people who can write a song that you will feel is speaking to you the fist time you listen to it.

Of the many songwriters, I singled out three because I’d like to know from you who is the best of the best.

The three artists that I picked are; Moji Short Baba, Guardian Angel and Pitson.

I agree that it’s not really a competition. Look at it like this, if you were stuck in a room and you had to listen to one of them for the whole  day, who would you pick?

Moji Short Baba

He’s among the most sought-after gospel songwriters. Apart from writing his own songs, Moji was the brains behind most of DK Kwenye Beat’s songs in the last one year, including Kijana Wa KayoleKwa Yesu Sawa. 

He also wrote Kumbe Kumbe by Bahati and Mr. Seed.

Guardian Angel

He mostly writes his songs but as you listen you can tell that he put a lot of work into them.

Pitson

He wrote Daddy Owen’s Vanity, Size 8’s Afadhali Yesu and Pale Pale, Makena’s Narudi, Laura Karwirwa’s Ni Neema Yako, among others.

So, tell us, who do you think is the best songwriter?

Daddy Owen and Moji Short Baba have teamed up on an a new jam titled ‘Sitadanganya’ and we love it (Video)

I never thought this day would come but it’s here ladies and gentlemen! Two of Kenya’s biggest gospel musicians, Daddy Owen and Moji Short Baba, have finally released a collabo!

Dubbed Sitadanganya, which is a Swahili word which means I won’t lie, the song talks about giving God credit for what he has done in you life.

Has He brought you far? Has He done great things in your life? Has He dressed you up? Then there’s no need to lie about it. It was by His strength, not yours!

As expected, both Daddy Owen and Moji Short Baba had great lyrical delivery in this song. I wasn’t expecting anything less.

The words used are simple and if you are the kind that like to master songs, you’ll grasp Sitadanganya after listening to it twice, maybe thrice.

The song was produced by Teddy B and as you can expect, the beat is pretty decent and it slaps hard. It’s has the vibe of urban gospel song!

The video was directed by Steve Mugo. In my opinion, he also did a great job, especially because he brought the simple shoot locations to life. The scene transitioning is also great!

Watch Sitadanganya here and tell us what you think.

Here is the list of Kenya´s music industry´s bigwigs who attended Mr Seed´s ¨Made In Huruma¨ Successful concert

The well received ¨Made In Huruma¨ concert, that went down in Huruma Primary School, in Huruma estate saw nothing but a successful artist, humbled by the massive unexpected turnout and attendance of the industry´s bigwigs.

The turnout alone, during the event´s promotion might have already hinted on the concert´s success but maybe that wasn´t such a guarantee at the time.

The ground was getting set:

The location was given, ground set, audiences informed and the concert was FREE!!!

So, onto the D-day, to determine it´s level of success or failure:

Dawmn!!! The masses were just overwhelming for the gospel star whose recent past months weren´t such a reflection of mass numbers.

The audience was just to receptive for the FREE gospel concert, Mr Seed, could not thank the fans and God enough for carrying the day, savoring the moment of his lifetime and showing him so much Love.

On and on, post after another, his gratitude could be seen effortlessly.

Now let´s move on to the bigwigs present at the much successful event.

Bigwigs present

4. Moji Short Babaa

Who else if not the short, Moji Short Baba, whose presence actually just barred the DJ´s mixes.

His part of the concert might have been the longest and most interactive of all.

For one he is celebrated in the gospel music industry for his exceptional punch lines, dance styles and inspiring messages.

6. Masterpiece

7. David Wonder

Just like the host, Mr Seed, fellow gospel artist, David Wonder also dumped Bahati´s EMB as his record label.

However, this did not bar his success in the competitive Gospel industry that saw the audience´s reception to his major jams like: Ndogo Ndogo baffle him.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXWeQOFKBv/

That might be it for those in attendance, however, the emotional bit of the concert was unleashed after Mr Seed broke to tears.

The emotions

The ¨Made In Huruma¨ concert host, Mr Seed was too overwhelmed by the show that saw him break down to tears in the arms of his mother, who did comfort him and came out proud of her son.

Now, that´s how the successful yet emotional gospel concert went down.

Kenyan gospel musicians who rarely write their songs and what it means

Songwriting is a practice that exists all over the world. It has been around for ages. Some of the greatest musicians of all time, including Michael Jackson, had songwriters. It’s a career as any so there’s nothing wrong with it.

I, however, have some concerns about songwriting in the gospel industry, especially in Kenya. I’m of the opinion that this practice should not exist and I’ll try my best to explain why.

You see, some of the biggest gospel musicians in our country rarely write their songs, they might have the mellowest voices around but they can’t pen down a song or hardly do so.

Mercy Masika’s Mwema and Nikupendeze were written by Mr. Vee, Shule Yako was written by Pitson.

Pitson

Moji Short Baba was the brains behind most of DK Kwenye Beat’s songs in the last one year, including Kijana Wa Kayole, Kwa Yesu Sawa. He also wrote Kumbe Kumbe by Bahati and Mr. Seed.

A chap known as Godson Jawabu wrote DK Kwenye Beat’s Asusu and Sari Sari.

Pitson also wrote Daddy Owen’s Vanity, Size 8’s Afadhali Yesu and Pale Pale, Makena’s Narudi, Laura Karwirwa’s Ni Neema Yako, among others.

These are just a few examples. They paint a picture of what the local gospel industry has become – a money making venture.

Do you feel a little bit disappointed when you discover that your favourite gospel was not written by the person who sang it? Of course yes.

The notion behind religion is that the man above should use you as a vessel to pass the message of salvation to others. So, what happens when you bought the ‘message’ from another person? Are you a vessel?

On the other hand, assuming the songwriters don’t do it for free, which is pretty obvious, does it mean that they are selling the gospel?
