Sela then invited him to join a promotional musical tour from December 24 to 31, 2014. Eric said that he looks forward to putting up a great performance there along with other talented and experienced gospel artists in Lesotho while on tour.
“I am happy that I will be performing in a country where the residents speak Setswana and understand my language. This makes it easy for the revellers to receive the message in my songs,” Eric said.
During the tour Eric will perform tracks from his lastest album, His Worship. He said he hopes to market the album and improve its sales. He will also play a few songs from his ealier albums, Judas Wa Moskariota and Oh! Modimo! “I am going to promote Botswana gospel music beyond our borders. I will also take Brand Botswana merchandise with me to wear and give to Basotho to help create awareness of Brand Botswana,” said Eric.
Eric stated that he is also looking forward to striking a possible record deal with one of the recording companies for his fourth album due for release next year. He added that Sela has also arranged for television and radio interviews for him, which he said he was looking forward to doing.
While there, Eric noted that he will also visit one of the biggest churches in Lesotho to minister the word of God to the congregation and sing some of his songs in front of the gathering. Eric has made a name for himself as the king of gospel music in Botswana after releasing his debut album, Judas Wa Moskariota and following its success up with another hit album, Oh! Modimo!
Both albums won him awards locally and internationally, earing him ambassadorships in organisations like JCI, and for the campaign against Ebola.
