For years, Cecilia Wairimu known by her stage name as Amani captivated many with her music.
She was known for songs such as Tonight, and Bad Boy among others.
But all that changed when she decided to give her life to Christ a few years ago, a decision that left her fans shocked.
Many wondered what might have led her into what many do not see as a lucrative industry.
In an interview with the KTN News segment History Makers, she said nothing traumatic happened to make her get saved.
"People think something traumatic must happen for one to get saved.
I did not go through any traumatic experiences such as being sick and admitted to hospital.
I was disconnected from God and I wanted a deeper connection with him.
I felt like I had lost it over time because I started as a gospel artist before I moved to secular music."
Amani says her parents were not pleased
"By the time I released the song 'Ninanoki' I was in my last year on campus.
My parents were not happy about it as they would have preferred to have me as a gospel artist.
I was so used to writing gospel songs that I struggled to write secular songs."
She added
"There were a few disappointing songs after 'Ninanoki', at some point I almost gave up."
Amani is currently trending with her song 'Ni Wewe' Featuring Pitson.
