GMP:    Why do you call yourself Dafari?
Dafari:    Dafari means The disciple in Jamaican patois which describes my duty in the Kingdom.

GMP:    As a gospel artist, what are some of the challenges that you face day-to-day from being a musician?
Dafari:    The greatest challenge that I face from day to day is getting the relevant message from God to His people through a song and not singing what is on my own mind that means soaking myself in prayer.

GMP:    Do you find it difficult to get fed spiritually due to the duties you hold as a musician and a pastor?
Dafari:    No, I don’t find it hard to be fed spiritually coz I don’t preach everyday of the week, so I usually get time to sit and receive from men of God.

GMP:    You have developed a reputation for having an energizer bunny kind of energy during your live performance. With God’s assistance of course, how do you sustain such level of energy?
Dafari:    I am crazy about God that’s the reason for my energy. You know when an artist goes on stage he actually goes to the forefront of the battle, so deal with the enemy properly with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.

GMP:    One of my favorite songs from you is “Unstoppable”. What life event inspired the song’s conception? And what does the song mean today?
Dafari:    The devil always fights to block and stop the work of God in us, that’s why the Bible says “He is the accuser of brethren. The Bible on the other hand says that says that “He who started the good work in you is faithful and just to finish it the song is therefore meant to encourage Ministers who feel like giving up not to coz God is always faithful. My first verse is an encouraging testimony of what God can do and what He has done for me.

GMP:    Another of my favorite  is “nah fret (bad mind), any story behind it?
Dafari:    Yeah, there is a great story in the Bible where Moses told the Israelites to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, MUST stand still WITHOUT FEARING PHARAOH or the RED SEA.

GMP:    Do you face challenges when you want to market your music to mainstream audience?
Dafari:    Yes, there is always a challenge but when the song belongs to GOD, it seizes to be yours therefore God always finds a way for the song to get airplay.

GMP:    How did being a preacher’s son help you to hone your music talents? Did you feel any pressure? Do you ever wonder why God chose you to what you do?
Dafari:    No, I don’t wonder why God chose me; actually I am happy He did. Being born by a pastor has its challenges but when you align yourself to the will of God, the challenges become blessings and opportunities for ministry.

GMP:    Kenyan Gospel Music tends to be taking over Ugandan. Do you think Ugandan Gospel Music gets enough airplay in Kenya?  If no what do you think should be done.
Dafari:    I will call it like it is. The Kenyan Gospel Industry hardly gives airplay to Ugandan artists for reasons not known to me yet, which for me is bad enough for God to intervene.
