Speaking to TshisaLIVE the singer revealed that he is the newest member of the gospel group.

“I did a collaboration with Spirit of Praise this past weekend May 27. I’m a new family member of SOP and yes, the fans can expect so many things from me with the family. I was there as a backing vocalist before it’s just that now I come as a lead vocalist.

“We are hoping for great outcomes, we are hoping for longevity of relationships with them. Fans can expect my music with them because we did a recording with them,” he told the publication.

“The experience this time around is honestly beautiful because I come in as a lead singer and not as a backing vocalist. That alone for me was a highlight to say indeed dreams do come true. You started at the back, today you are at the front line.

“It brings about motivation to many that they need to hold on and wait their turn because things can change at any time. I don’t think anyone thought I would be where I am today and here, I am doing it.”
