He said his single video of ‘Itlhotlhore’ was nominated in three categories thus; Gospel Jazz Artist of the Year, International Male Artist/Vocalist of the Year and Urban Inspirational Artist of the Year.
“This comes after my song "Rato la hao Jeso" entry was selected by Gospel Choice Music Awards for live performance at the Indie Rock Gospel Music showcase.
The event was held in Newark, Delaware in October last year. I then submitted my work and profile on their website for 2023 Music Awards for Gospel Choice Music Awards. After the 2022 Indie Rock Gospel International showcase, I submitted my single music video my Gospel Jazz "Itlhotlhore" with my portfolio as part of the nomination selection process on the website.
Same with Voices of Gospel Music Awards, I submitted my latest Gospel Album single video "Take The Glory" and I got nominated too,” he proudly said. He further explained that Voices of Gospel Awards will be held on September 9 at Mobile, Alabama. He said Gospel Choice Music Awards was a platform that celebrates and honours those who inspired their generation of gospel music today. He added that they celebrate, recognise and honour talent across the world adding that this would be their 29th year of the Awards edition.
Last year, he said he was selected by the Gospel Choice Music Awards Committee to perform live his song entitled Rato la hao Jeso at Delaware, USA courtesy of Indie Rock Gospel Artists Showcase. He further pointed that he was grateful for this recognition as it came from hundreds of submissions that were submitted from different states. “Remember in 2011, I was nominated in two different international awards and I won number one of the MOAMAS Award-Museke Online Afroteinment Music Awards.
October 2022 was that year again, exactly 11 years after winning my first International Music Award in the US. This was an iconic recognition for me on the international platform. My first experience whilst in the trip in the USA was amazing. I had fun in New York, a beautiful city with zealous, driven and busy people in the streets, hawkers, stores, restaurants and shopping malls.
The most famous Times Square blew me away. It was an experience of a lifetime,” he said.
