“I
am the leader of UPM from 1996 after the core founder my late father died in
1996 since it started in 1970 and I and my wife we are trying to keep the music
and job balanced,” said the Masvingo-based Bishop.
They
said they have worked with Admire Nago on the album which they could not give

Mother
Majaya also said she once shared stage with Zimbabwe Female Gospel in 2018 at
Harare gardens.
They
bemoaned the economic situation prevailing in the country and COVID-19 saying
this had created an uneven playground, hence impending the growth of their
music.
‘Everything
needs money starting on recoding and marketing the music. Right now, we are not
able to hold a show because of the virus and we are launching it online,” said
Majaya.
