Back in the day, gospel music was not the thing that would give
you a breakthrough as a music artiste, nor would you advise your kid to venture
into. Well, times have changed and it now looks like gospel music is the cash
cow in town as many artistes in the industry seem to be doing very well; let’s say
doing better than their counterparts in the secular industry. It is evident
that a good number of secular artistes have changed bases and opted for gospel
music with some moves proving fatal. Those who have successfully crossed to the
other side include Size-8 who is now doing very well. Unfortunately, musicians
like DNA and the likes found themselves on a rocky patch while trying to cross
over, prompting them to go back to their ways.
It is believed that crossing over from secular to gospel music is
a stunt many celebrities use to stay on top; just like R-Kelly when he did “You
saved me” and our very own Size-8 with “Mateke” and “Moto”.
Gospel
artiste Ringtone and his growing riches
The youthful musician who came into fame with his track ‘Pamela’
is never short of controversy. The last time I checked, the media was all over
him trying to unravel the source of his fast growing riches, something his
music career couldn’t bring so fast. From unreliable sources, it is said
Ringtone acquired his top of range car, a range rover sport, from a notorious sugar
mummy in Nairobi; however, these accusations cannot be substantiated. The top
artiste has lately moved to live among the wealthiest people in Kenya,
precisely the Runda neighborhoods where he is now a full-time resident.
From numerous airplays in media houses thus more money from MCSK
royalties, Ringtone’s song Jubilation has also been picked to celebrate Jubilee’s
Government anniversary in power, something we must say the artiste will smile
all the way to the bank.
Willy Paul
The young man barely out of High school seems to be making more
that his wallet can handle, but thank God we have banks to safekeep that. Flying
high with “Sitolia feat Gloria Muliro” and his latest “Lala Salama” that has
hit the charts with success; the boy seems pretty much safe and has currently
hired a foreign manager to oversee his production, public relations, events,
sales and marketing.
Size-8
The girl, now married has been on the limelight with the release
of two successful singles, Mateke and lately, Moto. With numerous airplays and
gigs, Size-8 is raking in millions of shillings, not to mention what she earned
during her Nawapa Vidonge days where she did big deals like being in the ‘Niko na
Safaricom’ entertainer team.
Emmy Kosgey
The songstress, now Mrs. Madubuko is famed for her songs “Taunet
Nelel” meaning a new beginning, and “Ategisin” among many others. Besides her wealth earned as a gospel
musician, Emmy is now married to a millionaire preacher husband s from Nigeria.
Just you know what she is worth, before she got married, she could afford to
buy a top range landcruiser car; but then again, that didn’t matter with her bridegroom
showering her with a new BMW X6 as a wedding gift, you can google the price, a
mansion, and we are yet not to mention the spectacular honeymoon that followed.
