Gloria Muliro & Willy Paul turn down Groove Awards Nominations

Groove Awards are the biggest awards in Gospel ministry in Kenya and last week they revealed which artistes will battle out for the coveted awards.

While we all love awards ceremony because celebs glam up for the red carpet, this year award winning Gospel singer, Gloria Muliro and “her son” Willy Paul will not be taking part in the Groove Awards 2014.

In a statement, the “Msaidizi” hit-maker explains that she and Willy Paul won’t be part of the awards because she’s not selfish.

“Hi my Friends, fans. About the ongoing groove awards, I would like to tell you that I am not contesting this year because I decided to step down and pave way for my fellow artists to whom I would love to see them prosper in this music industry. I believe that there are so many young talents out there who are working hard and who need such a motivation more than I do and that is why my son Willy Paul and I will not be contesting in the awards this year because we were lucky to get the same last year. We’ve won different awards even from outside the country and so we decided to let the struggling young Talents to have a share of the cake, also because we might appear to be selfish.
I respect the organizers of Groove awards and am ready and willing to work together with them.”

Commenting about the same Willy Paul said;

“… this year we are giving way to new talents… the upcoming artists struggle alot… very hard working let them enjoy the fruit of their hard work.”
