GOSPEL MUSICIAN GUARDIAN ANGEL TALKS ABOUT HIS LIFE ON THE STREETS AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE

Award-winning gospel singer Guardian Angel is sharing more about his life. Speaking at Bonga na Jalas on YouTube he revealed a few things about his life.

“My father rejected me and my mother was living with her dad. In the village in Luhya land a kid in not born in the parent’s home and especially a boy. At age five I was the first-ever street boy in Butere town and yet my grandfather was the richest man in the town,” Guardian told Jalang’o.

Unfortunately, after his mother lost her job the two moved to Kibera, Nairobi and since his mum could not find work they moved to Mwiki, Kasarani, “But we didn’t have a house deposit so mum lied to the landlord that we are waiting for some white people sending us money from America to starts a children’s home and soon he wouldn’t need to rent his houses to other people. The landlord allowed us.

But it got tougher, “The landlord got suspicious, but mum had found another place with same story and we moved,” he notes.

It wasn’t a bed of roses after that either, and the musician found his way back to his rural home.

In class 8 things were so hard, he had to drop out of school but he used his streets smarts and wits, got involved in petty crimes and found a way to survive.

However, he collided with one of his acquaintances, where he drew a machete and nearly killed him. Cops were on his neck and he had to escape.

Where he went to hide, the lady who used to sell chang’aa snitched on him. “I was nearly caught and killed,” he said. “I called my mum I told her I have changed, she sent me money and I came to Nairobi. I decided to get saved and from then she has never had a problem with me,” he affirmed.
