By dint of hard work and unrivalled grace, he has continued to grow in his career in leaps and bounds over the years.

“On this occasion of his 80th birthday anniversary, I wish to congratulate the evergreen musician. It is my prayers that God in his infinite mercies shall continue to strengthen him in all his areas of needs. He shall live long in good health and continue to serve God and humanity. May the Lord spare him to see more years in the land of the living.
