The Gospel muscian, Mercy Masika has opened up on how she was broke while still in music industry for seven years. Speaking during an interview, she said;
”My first big hit ‘Mwema’ opened up the way for my career in 2015 after seven years of singing broke but I didn’t give up easily, I kept singing, I kept releasing songs. Some of them are still there but people did not quite get to hear them.
I grew up singing, my mother, Agnes Masika was a singer. She used to sing in a KBC show ‘Sing and shine’. I always knew that I wanted to serve God. Music was one of the gifts that I had, especially after I cleared campus and was employed for a little while. I left my job after three weeks and went to chase my career, that is singing.”
Masika was recently in Washington DC after being invited to perform at the 67th USA National Prayer Breakfast. She is planning to tour rural parts of Kenya and is working on a new song with the biggest Kenyan producer Cedo; ”I will be doing church tours in April. I will tour Nakuru, Embu and Meru. I am excited about the new song am working on with Cedo next week.”
