To me that yeah she walks00:43:59me yes and. Maybe then that I was like wow and she designed the glove on the00:44:06CD you know and so for me I just was amazed that not only is the music00:44:13so he but even the fact that he's so he people identified with children's songs no00:44:20matter what language he writes well let's listen to the song right now what to00:44:24toward all my children. Latest album.00:46:37So. Beautiful00:46:44new uniform music for the children and this album is dedicated to the children the00:46:50heart and that was what to go to war to All My Children you know I'm00:46:55a good singing for the children you know I know you've been in the bin00:47:02you know performing for elderly people but what actually dragged you into that00:47:07corner to say let me think about the children and do something that's00:47:11a good question my son. I I had I got married 201000:47:18we stayed a while before we had a baby and when my son Kim was00:47:24a miracle to me was I always wanted to be00:47:26a mother and so I was so blessed and I was thankful to God and when I go to put him00:47:33to bed I would sing this song that I created myself wrote songs that I have00:47:38a board children but songs that I can read because I'm a musician I'm00:47:42a singer songwriter why don't I make most of it and so this is because of my00:47:49son coming to this was and I hope they take it to be to all the children and the00:47:55love I have for my son I want to shoot the children and so I have you started00:48:01teaching your son how to sing the Swahili 000000 speak baby my son00:48:08he's full and. He can sing he can play Johnny's. You can00:48:16beat but he has00:48:17a ticking ticking exactly after moment here then he's only 30 but you know Justin00:48:22the LEO My guess is thinking so easily and yes all right.00:48:29What Joy wants00:48:30a beautiful music and we. I got more coming up and all on the show today straight00:48:37from the Voice of America in Washington D.C.00:48:40And with my guest I'm one logger I know you've been in this business00:48:46a friend to Tina and but you know what is it like being an entertainer and you go00:48:52around the country performing for people and then you got this full time job00:48:59of being a mother yes this was all how do you balance the balancing is00:49:04a good. It's00:49:06a women are multi task as we multitask you know you know the thing is to be honest00:49:11with you for me my number one joy and happiness in this world is being00:49:15a mother of being00:49:16a child and hoping hoping I've been with him that I love children and I perform for00:49:21children because I believe that you know as a woman as00:49:25a person as an African entertainer I need to be monogamous to the next generation00:49:30so for me that's mind be my number one Joy yes as an entertainer I love to00:49:35entertain but as I said happiness my family my son how do I buy lives that have00:49:41benefit because I also have00:49:43a you know. I wonder if I'm better half you know and you know I just I guess my00:49:49husband we work together so if I'm before me and most of my performances over the00:49:53weekend he's always there to help with the baby and if not me somebody is here you00:49:58know sometimes I don't have people to come stay with me oh if it's abilities that00:50:04oh you know so there's only00:50:05a way that I can help that that's the essence of being an African child yes you00:50:09know you're not you're not only brought up by appearance with00:50:12a brother by the village Exactly yes it would have been the billing and that is so00:50:16important so and then for me to say to know that now when you know when I was00:50:21single before me you know you just buy00:50:23a home and you leave it out there you know but these days I think my performances00:50:28to me have more value because I want my son to enjoy what I'm doing I want him. To00:50:33feed his patient just like other people would have been and he is my number one son00:50:39was just my videos on You Tube He knows all my songs he's since then.00:50:47It's00:50:47a blessing and balancing is the most but he is to prioritize know what is important00:50:53to me family is important for the entertainment is 2nd so everything else has to00:50:58what to do with my family values I mean if it's not going to see to be my family00:51:05then I choose not to do I choose not to do it right that's a that's00:51:09a very important call that this is not going to work well family. Because it's00:51:15going to be either your family oh yes some. Of that OK Well coming back00:51:22coming back home come back we'll talk to our guest today and I let's take this00:51:26truck.
