Masvingo-based gospel artist Norman Mhuka has dropped a singles collection comprising of three songs which he said are aimed to preach the gospel and urge people to do the will of God to receive rewards followed by obedience.
Mhuka who goes to Harvest House International church dropped his singles collection with three songs namely Ngoni Dzenyu, Cain and Muchinda Werugare all derived from the scriptures.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mhuka said he aimed to preach the word of God through his music to make people aware of blessings they can get from diligent hearkening to the Maker’s teachings.
“I want to impact people to change their ways of living so that they listen and understand the word of God for a better change.
“Through my music, people will be aware that there are many great rewards if one walks in God’s ways,” said Mhuka.
Mhuka said he derived his motivation to compose gospel songs in sermons from different pastors and bible reading which sharpened his zest to become a gospel musician.
“I got motivation to be a gospel singer through attending church services where I listened to sermons from various pastors, and from reading the bible,” said Mhuka.
Mhuka said he was happy at the way his singles were being received and appreciated by people and he said it pushes him to do more.
“I am happy because people are receiving my songs well, including songs from my inception in 2018, and that reception pushed me to release these three and will continue doing more,” said Mhuka.
He said in 2018, he composed nine songs but Covid-19 affected him and he failed to produce the album.
In 2020 he managed to record his 2018 debut called Samatenga with Raven Studios, a local recording studio in Masvingo.
Mhuka said financial constraints were a major setback to his artistic endeavor, which caused him not to compose in 2021, and in 2022 released one track titled Zita Rake, in which he was glorifying God.
He also said he started the three-song singles collection project in 2023, and since song composing is a time-consuming artistic work, he managed to release the songs this year, in April.
Mhuka said he was happy because his son Wizdom Mhuka was already following in his footsteps and was recording music with local studios.
“I am happy because my son has already started to record his songs featuring some local artists and it is every parent’s wish to see his children learning from him.
“What excites me is his potential, because I have noted that if he focuses he can reach far with his talent,” he said.
