Fiston Bujambi, a promising youngster in the gospel music industry, has said that his recent collabo with popular Tanzanian gospel singer, Christine Shusho, was a game-changing move.

Bujambi, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in commercial music recording and production from Liberty University in Virginia, USA, told The New Times on Thursday, February 29, that featuring Shusho on his recently released track ‘Utanihilaisa’ has opened doors for him in different countries where his songs are now widely acknowledged, unlike in previous years.

"Actually, working with Shusho made it easier for me to get back into the game. It took me places I didn’t expect to go and I thank God for that. Now I have listeners in Kenya, Tanzania, Congo, and many, many more,” he said.

Bujambi, who believes that music is the best way to preach the gospel, also revealed that he has been working and is ready to release new music in March and do more live recording sessions in Indianapolis, USA, this summer.

He says gospel music continues to grow significantly, although there are still gaps that prevent new talent from progressing.

"Gospel music has improved a lot these days, although there are still some obstacles for some artistes who want to showcase their talents on an international stage, but I think there is a huge improvement.”
