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.
