RISING Chitungwiza-based businessman and gospel musician Cephas Sibanda, who is currently riding high with his popular song and video Gore Rino off the eight-track album Kumagumo Kwazvo, has revealed that singing is his passion.

The 36-year-old, who fronts The Shepherds outfit, told NewsDay Life & Style that he was inspired by the late Paul “Doctor Love” Matavire and Charles Charamba to venture into music.

Sibanda, who is not new in the gospel music circles, has three albums under his belt since making a breakthrough in 2014, with his first album Ishe Akanaka, which carried eight songs.

Sibanda said him being a gospel musician was not by chance, but a passion and way of spreading the word of God.

“I must admit that singing gospel music helps me spread the word of God.
