Gospel singer Christina Shusho has advised fellow gospel artists to invest in the craft as much as they do ministry.
In an interview with Clouds TV, the singer said she started investing heavily in music production in 2014.
"I started making money in music when I invested money into my music video. I started investing money with my song Ning'are, which cost me TSh9 million (KSh473,136)," she said.
Shusho said she flew to Nairobi for the music video. "I also flew someone from Kampala to handle the drone. The entire crew and I then had to fly to Mombasa for the shoot," she said.
"I needed to not only concentrate on preaching the gospel but also look at the creative part of it."
The mother of three said she received huge cheques once the song was released.
She thanked Kenyans for a positive reception since she started her music career.
"When I started singing, I was really accepted in Kenya. I am a minister and Kenyans like ministry."
Shusho is the founder of Dreamers Church and has been a pastor for three years now.
"God was preparing me through music to be a pastor. I used to fly to Kenya in the mountains at the prayer centres. I prayed and would not eat for 21 days and God opened my eyes. That was the beginning of everything."
She is set to release a 25-track album Hararat.
