Musician Kevin “Bahati” Kioko has refuted claims that he is a secular artist and instead describes himself as a gospel musician who does not wish to make money off of gospel music.
Bahati said during an interview with Mambo Mseto on Radio Citizen that he uses gospel singing to communicate with God. He claimed he would not identify as a secular artist, because he is not vulgar.
“I think for me I can still call myself a gospel artist but I sing gospel when I want to express myself to God, I don’t want to do gospel music as a business,” he said.
He added that he sings love songs because he wants them to be entertaining, arguing that people in churches also needed songs to pass time.
“So I just do good love songs also because you know even in our weddings in church we need entertaining music. I cannot call myself a secular artist because secular is not me, I’m not vulgar, I’m not,” he said.
