Ringtone has been seen in the media fighting for rights of artistes who are reportedly mistreated by music society and now he says its time he does something by setting up his own foundation.
The Ringtone Foundation will be working with the youth across the country in the aim of empowering them to achieve more in their lifes.
Renown gospel artiste Ringtone Apoko is one of the top artistes who never misses a headline on the print world. Probably for the wrong reasons at times but this time he has decided to do what he terms as his calling from GOD.
Ringtone Apoko has started a street mentorship programme that is aimed at reaching street kids in the country at large. Ringtone started his tour of the streets in Nairobi at Kariokor where he had a talk with street kids and even gave them something to eat in return.
Speaking to Mpasho he says :
“I have started a street mentorship program to reach out to the boys and girls on the street. I plan to mentor, motivate them using my experience, feed them and give them ideas on how to survive on the streets in peace like I did. I intend to travel across the country and do this in major towns.
Last week I launched the program in Kariokor in NAIROBI and I managed to gather over 200 street boys and girls and there street families. I feel that God has blessed me and opened doors for me so that I can share and inspire people especially those from background like where I have come from.
I urge the minister in charge of children affairs and the minister for devolution to work with people like me because we have a rich experience from the streets that can help the government to solve the streets children issues and crime at large.”
Now the 1st time I saw this story I was like where did this story come from? Later on I logged onto my Instagram and there I saw a picture of ringtone and Carol Radull. It was just a friendly office photo nothing more.
Then again when I read the caption it read. “Carol Radull was snatched from me and that’s why I will not get married again.” This was a joke by Ringtone and one Carol Radull didn’t want to be taken for that long marathon that Ringtone had started jogging for or should I say ‘joking for’.
Ringtone as an artiste had gone far this time to pull a joke for one of the most talented sports anchors in Kenya who is married. A lady who has been a silent fan of uliza links behind the scenes.
This was a joke gone bad and Carol Radull was not having anything with it.
She said :
“Where did this come from. I find it inappropriate to post this”
Ringtone later apologized for the post.
Award winning gospel artiste Ringtone Apoko known for his songs Jubilation , Pamela and Muziki ni Dawa has done a great collabo with 4 Nigerian gospel singers titled “Hakuna Matata”. The song which has been done by DJ Gosporella from Nigeria has featured 3 other artistes who are Ringtone , Nikki Laoye, Inner Man and Provabs.
Dj Gosporella had an opportunity to share how the song came to be and he said :
“It was immediately after the 3rd edition of the annual Easter Sunday event, Gosporella Family Funfest. A whole lot of things had happened in the course of that event and Waoh! in reflection of how God pulled us through those trying times, I realised that there is actually no need to fret as God is true to His word.
When God said “Be anxious for nothing ’cause I care for you”, I experienced the full reality of it so I had a brain wave and called some of my friends who had featured in the Funfest including our Kenyan import for the event, Ringtone Apoko, who was still savouring the hospitality of our great country and the result is Hakuna Matata. We intend to shoot an international video in Kenya and Nigeria soon to promote the song”

Ringtone shared of how some one tried to run him over by adducing evidence of the case during his video shoot. This was probably something many have not seen in video shoots as the only hiccups people face is time or technical hitches.
This incident shook him for sometime Ringotne says, but he never gave up as a matter of fact, after arresting the driver of the car they still shot the video. Muziki Ni Dawa has now been released and the main message of the song is thanksgiving to GOD for music. Ringtone tries to reiterate on how music has touched many life’s and even healing people through the song.
Watch.
