AFTER years of polishing his talent in the shadow of top-billing artistes, Lusaka-based long time backing vocalist Jeromy Shingongo has released his 10-track debut album to be officially launched in March next year.
Titled ‘It’s My Time’, the project features many young and lesser known gospel singers.
Despite the music having played on national radio stations, a selected number of tracks have also attracted many people’s attention through an online promotions scheme using various online platforms.
Shingongo said his music is about comforting troubled hearts of people.
“I sing with strong faith and conviction that there is a broken heart or soul out there meant to be healed.
“People may not open up on what they are passing through because of insecurities. But for me, these situations or challenges are meant to be solved,” he said.
He said he found it a duty to comfort people in difficult times and that it is his job to help such people have courage.
Shingongo said his album, which is laden with encouraging melodies, is expected to hit the market soon.
“I will be launching my musical album in March 2016. All is set, the album is ready and we are working towards the album launch which we set for early 2016,” he said.
Apart from spreading the word of God, the budding evangelist said his music is aimed at changing people’s lives for better through praise and continuous encouragement.
