Well-known artist, Odirile 'Vee' Sento said that he wants to grow his Black Money Makers brand and make it more corporate in terms of the jobs he gets for his company. 'This year I want to grow spiritually and find my place as a minister of the word of God.  I also want to reach out to the youth and curb drug and alcohol abuse amongst them because nowadays, unlike in the past, it is fashionable to be an addict.' Gospel artist, Kabelo Eric Kgaodi better known as Kabelo Eric says this year he is going back to the studio to work on his new album, His Worship. 'In my forthcoming album, I am going to work with the likes of Joel Keitumele and Thabang Gaarogwe and it's also going to feature the likes of Buhle of Joyous Celebration fame,' the artist said adding that he hopes that the envisaged album will be released this winter.

The award-winning Kabelo Eric is currently a full-time minister with the Holy Ghost International Ministries in Gaborone. Kabelo 'DJ King' Motlhankana from Serowe hopes to release a single with the help of fellow disc spinner, DJ Oats. The DJ who won an  award in the DJ category at the Sprite competition last year says he is looking for more challenges in the New Year.

'I want to try my luck in more DJ competitions this year, but I want new challenges so I won't be taking part in competitions that I have already won. People in the Central should also expect Serowe Battle of the DJs to be back this year as we are determined to continue unearthing talent in the region,' he said adding that he has shelved the idea of moving to Gaborone to seek greener pastures for a number of reasons. The leader of the Victors Gospel Group, Douglas Maroku said that he hopes that his group is going to grow and produce more quality music. He also says that he wants to help orphans and young people in the country.

'As a young artist and producer, I aspire to reach out to other people- be they artist or not- and enlighten them about the word of God and the love of Christ,' he said. Kgotla Kgaodi of Matshidiso fame said this year, he is going to focus on growing his ministry, Word Impact International Ministries. The artist-turned minister said that he also has several projects that he is going to undertake in the New Year. Quizzed on whether he is going to quit music for good he said:  'Music is part of me, I am a minister of love so I can't say I am lost to music for good.'
