It is my second time receiving awards in the US. I am more inspired to push for great heights in my music.
This milestone means so much to me. Being recognised, celebrated and honoured before the world is the greatest testimony of my music career. I am a proud Motswana and very thankful and grateful to every single person who voted and my supporters around the world. This win puts a stamp that it is possible to achieve one’s dreams.
Hard work, determination and focus always yield fruits,” he proudly said. His single video, ‘Itlhotlhore’ was nominated in three categories being Gospel Jazz Artist of the Year, International Male Artist/Vocalist of the Year and Urban Inspirational Artist of the Year. “This comes after my song "Rato la hao Jeso" entry was selected by the Gospel Choice Music Awards for live performance at the Indie Rock Gospel Music showcase. The event was held in Newark, Delaware in October last year.
I then submitted my work and profile on their website for 2023 Music Awards for Gospel Choice Music Awards," Kabelo Eric said. "After the 2022 Indie Rock Gospel International showcase, I submitted my single music video, my Gospel Jazz "Itlhotlhore", with my portfolio as part of the nomination process on the website. Same with Voices of Gospel Music Awards; I submitted my latest Gospel Album single video "Take The Glory" and I got nominated too,” he said." He said Gospel Choice Music Awards was a platform that celebrates and honours those who inspired their generation of gospel music today. He added that they celebrate, recognise and honour talent across the world adding that this will be their 29th year of the Awards edition.
