Gospel singer Thinah Zungu on his music: ‘I write my own songs’
Source: Channel24.co.za
When award-winning gospel artist Thinah Zungu is on stage, you can be guaranteed that he will sing his prophetic song, Kwanqab’umusa (Mercy said no), because of it being a proclamation over his life.
He decided to step outside his comfort zone to record a live album at Soweto Theatre. The KwaZulu-Natal born artist was surprised to learn that Sowetans knew and loved every song of his. This experience was a reminder to him that sometimes one needs to step outside their comfort zone to really experience God’s mercy.
COMFORT ZONE
There is a saying, “nothing grows in the comfort zone”. This is exactly what Thinah has experienced. The 30-year-old is known for writing his own songs, predominately in his home language. In this live album simply titled, Thinah Zungu, there are songs in Sesotho, TshiVenda and English, showing off his versatility as an artist.
“I decided to use the other languages as a token of appreciation to the many people from different ethnic groups who have supported me all these years. We might speak different languages but serve the same God,” says Thinah.
It has been a blessing for Thinah to touch the lives of people with his music, something he doesn’t take for granted. “I never leave the stage without singing Kwanqab’umusa because it is a reflection of who I am and what God has done and keeps on doing in my life,” he says.
LOVE AND APPRECIATION
He tells Move! that the love and appreciation he has received from people makes him want to be better at what he does. One of the things he is about is song writing. “I write my own songs because I feel it’s God’s way of speaking to His people,” Thinah says. He has been welcomed by the gospel industry with open arms.
Even when naysayers tried to discourage him from going into singing in 2007, he trusted that the promises of God are ‘yes’ and ‘amen’. “They said I would not last or make it, but God had other plans. Where would I be if I listened?” the father of three asks. His heart still bleeds for the late S’fiso Ncwane who gave him a chance when he started out.
TEACHINGS
There is a lot to be grateful for even when he faces challenges in the industry or personal life. Being raised in a Christian home back at Inanda, he says he finds himself always using how he was raised as reference. “How I was raised has a lot of impact and influence. I grew up in a home where going to church was not an option. That is why things like fame do not go to my head,” he says.
Thinah says he has always trusted God with his life, adding that Romans 8:28 always assures him of this, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
