He said his album is mostly consists of praise and worship songs.
Elohim explained that the idea was to make music that communicates, that was so relatable adding that his choice of being a singer was not about fame but to send people messages and help console them through his music. This self taught singer and song writer sings gospel, RnB, Afrobeat, Afrosoul, Jazz and House music.
He boasts of scooping position two at the FNB Bodiragatsi Jwame Lentswe Lame, where he won P15,000 after releasing a song called Corona. He shared a stage with the likes of Franco, Tumza and the Big Bullets, Figos, Charma Gal, Nature Bw, DJ Guyvos, Maatla Ephraim Basha, Makau and Dada Kavino. Moreover, he pointed out that he had done quite a number of music projects to showcase his talents and ambition therefore needed a helping hand so that he could fuel himself to continue to grow and hoist Botswana flag higher.
