‘Imbeni mpaka kwa bars’ Hezeh Ndung’u tells gospel artists.

Legendary Akorino star Hezeh Ndungu says he sees no problem in gospel artists singing in bars.According to him, there is no need of sleeping hungry just because you are scared of what people will say.

Hezeh shared his opinion during an interview and he says as long as you do not indulge in activities going on in the bar, you are good to go.

“Even alcoholics are our fans…bars and alcohol do not sin but it is we the humans who do, hence why I find no big deal in showing up there and staging your show.

As long as you do not become part of the acts and utterances outside the scope of Godly dictates. Don’t be a fool.If singing in bars will give you a livelihood, go and utilize your talent to live,” he Advised.

Hezeh went on to add that you might be deterred by people yet they are worse than you…..“Even God advocates for going out there in the field, leaving 99 sheep safely home in search for only one lost…..You will be surprised to hear that most of those you find in bars are only living a lifestyle…but they are grounded in religion since their parents gave them that foundation.Singing for those you dismiss as sinners is more rewarding than doing it for the church people”.

Mr. Ndung’u said music has three aspects—message, entertainment, and business—the latter being the most important for the artiste.

“If singing in the church will give you Sh10 and singing in bars will give you Sh100, do not be a fool.

Even God will disapprove of your naivety of pursuing illogical considerations to run away from maximum reward for your talent,” he said.The artist says that most people are quick to bash yet they are worse than the people they are criticizing.

“I urge all not to limit their potentials and rewards on grounds dictated by competitors whose only beef in criticizing those already featuring in bars is based on the reason that they have not been invited to do it.

The very ones criticizing the bar performers are either alcoholics or if invited to perform for pay, they would certainly show up.Gone are those ancient days when holiness and righteousness were killing us in poverty.

We have come a long way from the days of singing while rooted like statues to the modern dance in the gospel industry.”
