GWERU-BASED up-and-coming gospel artiste Zomba Zamba has turned to the online music space to connect with the audience in preaching the gospel and teaching moral values, especially among the youths who have taken to drugs and substance abuse.
In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Zamba said going into the digital online music space was part of his efforts to embrace technology, which has taken centre stage in the music industry.
"When I released my first album, I relied on regular airplay from local radio stations," Zamba said.
"But as technology takes centre stage in the music industry, I have realised that digital media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, among others, should be fully utilised."
The gospel musician said all songs on his first album, titled Muteveri, were on YouTube.
"The song, Praise the Lord, which was released last year in May, is already on TikTok," he said.
"The single, Jesu Arikudana, released in December last year, has just recently been on YouTube. There is no turning back in making sure my music is in the digital media space."
Zamba said embracing technology was part of his bid to reach out to youths and preach the word of God so that they (youths) can leave drugs and other substances.

"In the song Jesu Arikudana, I am saying people should not delay in accepting Jesus's clarion call for salvation," he said.
Zamba, however, said as an up-and-coming musician, he was facing challenges in meeting recording and marketing costs of his music and appealed to well-wishers for help.
