Mathias Kissward popularly known as Great Mathias outdoors his second album dubbed 'Chwuku Ka Chwuku' meaning King of Kings at breaking Chains Ministries. The track the public has become familiar with now is the 'Chwuku Ka Chwuku' which is being played on radio and there is also a video of it which is being aired on television stations. It is a high life style of gospel music that tells the listener of how powerful our creator is. It is early to tell how well the album will do commercially but the fact remains that it is a good effort from Great Mathias. The 'Chwuku Ka Chwuku' man expects a sizable number of gospel artiste, relatives and all members of the friends of the media to make the out dooring a remarkable one. In an interview with Peacefmonline.com the �Chukkwu Ka Chukwu� Man said it will be difficult for new gospel artist to come out in the next 10 years to come if care is not taken. He explained that because of that perception, people ready to help think gospel musicians are ungrateful. �Even if you release the best and blessed album, raising money as a new artist to promote your album is very difficult and most event organizers are not also ready to put a new artist on board. This has eventually made most new artist fear to come out though they have good works. Some producers also call some presenters warning them not to play my song because of the competition am bringing to them. When producers do this to all of we the new artistes, who want to promote God�s Kingdom how can we come out with an Album?� he asked. Great Mathias pointed out that he does not see why music fans and the general public often blame musicians especially gospel musicians anytime there is an issue between the gospel artistes and their managers. He is of the view that if people should continue to do that these gospel artistes, then they are not being fair because there has been occasions that some managers are at fault but they only blame the gospel artistes. Read his example. �For instance, if you are a gospel artistes and your manager believes in something different yet he wants you to also automatically believe in that thing, you will surely decline. But unfortunately, when he picked you from scratch and you decide to go your way, people start to think that you are not grateful. That is not the fair because the producer or the manager will not always be fair in this instance. We need to ascertain issues when they happen before we will blame the musicians in the centre of the controversies� he added.
