Every artist needs sponsorships or endorsements . this helps project one but sometimes it’s not often possible here but God has been faithful so far.

Not at all, music is my calling and I can never leave my divine call for any other thing. Though I may combine other career or businesses side by side with my music to make a living but quitting music is out of it. Because we must preach till Christ returns.
