You look happier ever since you let people lose you instead of begging them to choose you.

I don't think you understand how beautiful you make my world, just by existing in it. 😊

A man asked a gardener why his plants grew so beautifully. The gardener said: “I don't force them to grow. I remove what stops them."

We are close my people! 20K is calling 😀

Creating music is like exposing my soul. Every time I sit down to make a new song, a wave of anxiety washes over me—doubts and questions crowd my mind. Is this song better than the last? Will people love it, or will they say it falls short? I worry that my writing is weakening, and I even question if I’m staying true to my craft.

When I leave God out of the lyrics, I wonder how the Christian community will respond. Sometimes, I even think about holding back, scared that it won’t be received well.

Yet, in the midst of these overwhelming thoughts, I remind myself that the journey to greatness is never easy. Obsessing over every tiny detail can paralyze the creative process.

I know that not every song will resonate with everyone, but if even one or two people find a piece of themselves in my music, that connection means everything. I’ve learned to embrace the love that does come my way, understanding that I can’t please everyone.

My focus remains on the passion that drives me, with faith as my guiding light—always keeping God at the center of my purpose.

10,000+ STREAMS ON Spotify! ⭐️✨

This is more than just numbers—it’s a reminder that dreams, no matter how impossible they seem, can shine if you never give up. I’m still trying to catch my breath—Nyenyezi (Star) just crossed 10K streams, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude. It feels like I’m living in a dream I once only whispered about. Every single stream is a moment you’ve chosen to connect with my story, and that means the world to me.

Thank you for believing in this journey and for sharing this star’s light with your own circles. We’re in this together, and every time you hit “play,” you remind me that I’m not alone. Let’s keep shining and reaching for the stars—together.
