”Well on the new project launched a month ago we had one of the biggest corporate company in Kenya come on board “Safaricom” with their new project “BLAZE” where they are motivating youths to be their on bosses and believe in themselves and follow their dreams. Blaze loved our household name in East Africa and chose to invest on our project as well and hence the reason we did the Blaze product placement on our new video #Kataa,” the artistes shared exclusively with ulizalinks.

This past weekend the duo went ahead to work with blaze on the Nairobi Summit event at Nyayo stadium on the 30th of September which was more of a multi million shillings deal because it included their African Tour that’s just about to start before the year ends.

SOC who are under new management at FGB label launched a new video #Kataa, a month ago, in which they remarkably directed on their own. Under the new label SOC say they intend to grow further their brand this year and start signing new artists early next year 2017.

Speaking about the open doors SOC added :

“With us it’s really not about the money at all or the hype that comes with the music and all that. Don’t get me wrong it’s really something when you make a million shillings deal at our age but what our vision entails is to make Christ known all over Africa.

It is so possible to share the stage with all this African secular big wigs and still be the only artiste singing a gospel song and people get to realise there is power in the lords side”

On the break up of gospel groups :

To every single “Gospel GROUP artistes that are coming up ” it’s not easy maintaining a group but it’s possible to be a successful group artiste as long us the vision is the same in all of you and you put God first….individual side hustles are always what kills a group so make sure everything you want to do should include each member,Never be selfish in a group.

After MOG Broke, Gospel Group SOC Behind Hit ‘Zongelela’ Splits Up To A DUO

It would have been the best love story if gospel group SOC had remained 3 stones burning the gospel fire but it seems choices had to be made as they split up to remain a duo. The group which is behind hits such as Zongelela, Bila Yesu, AJE among others now has two members who are Njoseh and Mugikuyu after the last piece of the jigsaw EDU took another journey in his career.

In the new song that SOC did with Jimmy Gait it would have been noted that only two singers of the group featured instead of three.

The group finally broke the silence on why there is a change in their group stating that EDU the third member decided to take a job and will be vying for a political post.

“We have been receiving questions on our social media inboxes for a while now but we think it’s about time we spoke about the issue….

Well some of you have been asking about the third member of SOC whose name is “EDU” ….well The bad news is SOC IS NOW A DUO, Life is full of ups and downs and change is always inevitable, as much as we try to follow our dreams with all our hearts God has the final say and also our parents play a huge role in shaping our lives and sometimes the road taken might not be pleasant to everyone.

So EDU took the path to politics and an office job where he works from 8am to 5pm and he is also vying for the MCA Seat in Kahawa West area and by the Grace of God we hope he gets your votes to win the seat, Kahawa West needs change!!

So @Njoseh and @Mugikuyu254 make up the Active part of SOC
We will have hinges ofcorse but it’s more than us, it’s more than just two guys making music at the end of the day it’s ministry and using the talent God gave us so we are wounded but it will get better eventually because the goal is to make sure the whole AFRICA listens…bless you Saintz,” The group shared.

This is another break up in the period of months after gospel group MOG decided to take solo paths in their music.
