Tanzanian gospel singer Christina Shusho has lost count of the times she has visited Kenya in recent years. She is on record as saying that the love she has received from Kenyans is so surreal and real.
Not once or twice has she been trending on Kenyan X (formerly Twitter), albeit for good reasons. While at home most days she wakes up to negative news about her troubled marriage to her estranged pastor husband, in Kenya it's quite the opposite.
Her demand in Kenya has seen the 'Shusha Nyavu' hitmaker perform several concerts in the country over the past few years, the latest of which took place three weeks ago in Nairobi.
Last year, she released a song 'Zakayo' (one of President William Ruto's branded nicknames by Kenyans) that literally 'united' Kenyans on social media.
One of the things I love so much about Kenyans is their ability to quickly recognize someone's potential, embrace it wholeheartedly, and support them without a doubt. But for Tanzanians, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, they will first doubt your potential, judge and criticize you until you prove them wrong, and then they will support you. I guess that's why I seem to be loved more in Kenya.
The song was inspired by the Bible, not Kenya. I wrote it a long time ago. It was just a coincidence that, for some reason, the release of 'Zakayo' united Kenyans at that particular moment and time. The song wasn't directed at anybody, and I didn't mean any harm.
I was rushed into marriage because my mother was worried about my striking beauty. I was married at the age of 19. After I completed my fourth grade, my mother feared I would go astray and shame the family.
Now that I'm a little older, don't tell me I'm beautiful. It was wonderful. So when this man approached my mother and expressed interest in me, she agreed out of fear.
Marriage is part of what God brings together, but what He has put in both of you differs. We should not lie to one another.
Many women are hurt when they try to follow their husbands' commands and forget their own. Let's be careful not to kill what we are called to do by trying to impress each other. Some have the grace to follow a path.
I am close to Diamond, Harmonize, and many other secular artists because I am also an artist. Would I do a song with them? I cannot say yes or no; it all depends on God's timing.
There are a lot of reasons why people do songs, some do it for attention and publicity, for me, if I am to do a song with Diamond or Harmonize then there must be a bigger purpose.
Harmonize has already approached me with a project he wants us to work on and we will do it when the time is right.
The same goes for Diamond, and let it be known that if I ever jump into a collaboration with him, he would probably regret having me because I will outshine him on the project. So he better not dare.
I mean Diamond is my friend we have been working together there is even a program Mtoko Wa Pasaka that we have been working on together. He will soon be visiting my church.
