Gengetone singer Mejja has explained why he has not been releasing songs.
Mejja, who recently received medical advice to take a break from music due to throat problems, has requested his supporters to pray for him in a statement to Mseto East Africa.
Mejja postponed a performance in Australia in 2022 because to voice loss.
“I have been having issues with my throat, When I was in Australia I had a flu and couldn’t get access to medicine and I was performing almost everyday. When I came back the pain was on and off even after taking over the counter drugs.”
He admitted to Willy M. Tuva that he did nothing when it occurred.
He described how he experienced certain symptoms that weren’t concerning him till he noticed some blood spots while cleaning his teeth and trying to clear his throat.
Hapo ndio nilijua kuna issue. Hapo ndio nilienda hospitali. So enyewe tuseme tu throat yangu haiko poa. Shida ni nikirecord lazima nipige ile high pitch. Nimeambiwa nikae one month bila kutumia sauti. Ni voice rest, nisiongee sana, nisiperform na naenda voice hygiene therapy,” he said.
Mejja asked his followers to pray for him since he is suffering.
“Waniombee yaani kwanza. Kwababu inaniaffect psychologically. Unajua mziki ndio kila kitu. So mara leo nikona sauti, kesho siezi ongea inanisumbua sana kwa sababu siezi taka ati hivyo ndio niliwacha muziki,” he said.
