I thought I was famous until I got to America - Hellen Mtawali Shared Moments

#SharedMomentswithJustus
A multi-talented powerhouse with an undeniable impact on the Kenyan music industry, Hellen Mtawali is known for her warmth and approachability. This singer, composer, voice coach, marketer, and mentor has gracefully worn many hats throughout her career. Older generations may recall her as a familiar face on gospel shows like Sing and Shine and Joy Bringers in the 90s. Millennials, on the other hand, are more likely to recognize her from her role as a principal and voice coach on the reality music TV show, Tusker Project Fame. Despite the evolution of the music industry, Hellen has managed to stay relevant. She shares insights from her journey with Justus here on Shared Moments with Justus.

When Jesus asks how we used the talents he gave out, Mtawali will have a good answer. She is simply a gem.

This is the most intentional and incredibly talented kenyan icon musically speaking. Big up madam. You taught my last born daughter at daystar university who told me you are the best teacher she encountered there. I have a passion in singing at past 60yrs craving, but need your coaching and mentoring at a fee. Looking for you soonest. You will definitely leave a legacy that is second to none in East African region.
