I am blessed to have been involved with STUDIO_10 since the beginning. In 2008, I came to Uganda and was introduced to an incredible musician who had a passion for both God and music. Francis quickly became a good friend and I was introduced to the idea of a worship studio… a place to continually raise up new generations of worshipers. A place to that encourages Christ followers in their daily walk and challenges them to go deeper in their relationship with God.
I’ve been singing my entire life and playing guitar for about 13 years now. I studied music at university and I’ve been leading worship since I was 16 years old. Being a part of STUDIO_10 just seemed natural to me, but I consider it an honor to have been invited to participate. Being a missionary sometimes means many uncertainties, but I’m thankful to know where my home is in Uganda. Uganda has become a very comfortable second home to me as I travel between the States and Africa.
Our first official worship night was in December of 2008. I remember being nervous to practice with everyone and even feeling a bit reserved because everyone involved in STUDIO_10 is so talented, but as I spent more and more time with everyone I realized my fears were silly. We all quickly became a family of sorts. From then on I always looked forward to spending time with everyone. I’m so blessed by the friendships that have come from being a part of the studio. Two of the ladies, Juliet and Fridah have been so encouraging and I’m very thankful for my friendships with them. It’s been so fun getting to know everyone, meeting people’ families, and enjoying fun times of fellowship outside of practices too.
I’m very proud of the direction STUDIO_10 is heading in and I’m very proud that the focus has always stayed the same. “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:23
We seek to be a group of people who worship the Father in Spirit and truth, the kind of worshipers that God is seeking. My prayer is that this would always be the focus of STUDIO_10 and that it would continue to grow and minister to the masses!
