All i ask is understanding from you the people that use up your time and money to vote for me when ever iam nominated for an award.

I also wish to thank the people and radio stations that got me nominated in the first place , i appreciate the consideration and remain greatful for the opportunity.

Lastly i want to encourage the fans of zambian music in general to go all out and support my brothers and sisters that are nominated in this year’s award. As for me, i ll be there next year and i still look forward to you supporting me at the kwacha music awards 2019.
