Ernie Musica releases Judgement

FRANCISTOWN: Twenty-seven-year-old Maitengwe native, Batsho Energy also known as Ernie Musica in the music circles, has released a gospel rhumba song titled, 'Judgement'. Ernie Musica is currently pursuing a Diploma in Public Health at the Gaborone University College of Law and Professional Studies (GUC).

With over eight years experiece in the music industry, Ernie Musica told Arts and Culture that his single speaks about educating people on turning to Jesus Christ during troubled times. He said the song inspires people to leave their wicked ways and turn to the Lord as they approach the end of times adding that the song has failed to reach a wider audience as he has not received bookings to perform on local shows lately due to COVID-19. When speaking about his career history, he said he worked with the likes of Keylecious and live group as a dancer in 2014.

He further said he left the group in 2015 after recording his first album titled 'Ku Bukalanga'. “In 2017 I released another rhumba album with a mixture of gospel called 'My True love'. The album features the likes of Benjamin of Star Records, Thabo who is MC Maswe’s dancer and Lebi wa Batswana.” Other projects he has worked on include ‘Ke Nnete’ and ‘Ke Gorogile’ which feature Gofa Mfetane. Aside from the music industry, the hardworking artiste works as a security officer from Godshu Security services. He highlighted that he chose to sing gospel rhumba so as to speak the word of salvation/the word of truth to the young generation. He said he found it easier to share the word of God through music for the heartbroken and for those living under agitated depression so that they can find refuge in God.
