The singer Peace Hoziyana [Peace Hozy] three years ago appeared on dance floor many times assisting artists while in concerts. Not only that but also because this young lady helped artists in shooting of songs and so many other activities related music.

and Daniella, Zawadi, Serge Iyamuremye, Patient Bizimana, Prosper Nkomezi,
Adrien Misigaro, Gentil Misigaro, Gaby Kamanzi, Aline Gahongayire, and so many
others with whom they worked together on different occasions.
This young
lady also participated in several concerts which were prepared by East African
Promoters (EAP) like Iwacu Muzika Festival, the concert in which Israel Mbonyi
presented two albums which took place in BK Arena and so many different others.
In
conversation with InyaRwanda, Peace Hoziyana [Peace Hozy] said that past three
years helping artists in singing was not an easy journey but learned so many
important lessons on which her career she has started in music as an
independent artist will be founded.
She said
that, “that’s true indeed I have been more than 3 years helping artists in
different concerts it was a journey from which I benefited from, more
importantly that it opened a way for me of being known in music, which led me
to knowing each other with many people, talents that I had in myself were
growing slow by slow.”
She added
that, “however I kept praying to the point where God told me that it was the
right time, then I started it.”
On 18th of
March 2023 is when this young lady released her first gospel song called
‘Uganze,’ Kinyarwanda language-its translation in English ‘Uganze’ means
‘dominate’ or ‘have your way in me’-which shaded light on songs she decided to
sing.
This song
included descriptions of her life’s scenarios and it involved prayer. There was
where she sang like “arms are lifted up high I give myself entirely and my
belongings to you, my future life and of today, I put them in your hands come
have our way in me.”
She was
asking God for taking control in herself, to fill in her because herself can’t
reach anywhere.
She says
that starting career in music isn’t an accidently, because when she concluded
her secondary education, she could feel it, but didn’t know exactly when to
start it, that’s why she prayed God so hard to support her at the right time.
She added
that “ I wished to use my talent in building God’s kingdom.”

lady says that she grew up in a family that admires music, and her family
members told her that ‘when her dad like to sing when he was alive.’

born brother is a good musician player, her little sister has talent of singing
and majored in music in college of music of Nyundo’, also her other siblings
try to sing, but not professionally.
Hozy says
that her pension in church and holy scriptures are among which made her wanting
to make songs which glorify God.
Above all,
she wishes to use her talent to proclaim kingdom of heaven.
She said
that,” reasons why I engaged in Gospel, it was my dream since long ago I
constantly desired to serve God through my voice, at least I felt there are
some being comforted or receiving salvation through talent which God lent me.
The goal
which she entered gospel music with.
Many among new
artists who join music, they all commit to do everything for their talents to
be known, and they lay their brick on music of the country.
Not all
accomplish these stated above. Because of everyone’s opportunity, some become
successful while others don’t succeed yet they have unique talent.
Hozy told
InyaRwanda that she has been in music many years ago but just working with her
fellow artists, she noticed how hard they worked promoting God’s work.
She says
they is not too far from them, because her main goal in joining music includes
‘to lay my brick in this work, more importantly in Gospel industry.’
This young
lady also says that she want to work hard for talents that God put in her heart
are shared with other people. She added that, “like a beginner, goals and plans
are many.”
