Ringtone to head Youths?

Gospel sensation Alex Apoko aka Ringtone is headed for a turnaround in his career together with a few other new generation artists if the ongoing whispers are anyhing to go by.


Ringtone's song was used as the official Jubilee anthem and he alongside Jaguar performed in many rallies for the coalition. the two together with controversial news anchor turned religious Esther Arunga were the few  musicians invited at the statehouse luncheon after Uhuru's inauguration.

Jubilee government is set to unveil  a youth unit at the office of the president and the trio are highly expected to be at the  helm. this comes at an age when art, creativity and talent is being recognized and minting money  for those endowed.

Ringtone who probably has one of the hardest beginning in the music industry owing to his unfortunate background is on the verge of holding an office that no other predecessors in the industry has ever attained.

It will not be forgotten that he ran for a parliamentary seat at a  by-election expressin his interest in leadership. i an interview with zuqka he was put to test on his religious commitment & politics

How did you end up in politics?
I was tired of giving handouts on the roadside, that’s why I decided to seek an elective post in the government to help young people.
How did you afford to buy a Range Rover worth over Sh7 million, while you spent so much in the campaigns?
Honestly, after fundraising for my campaign, I used part of the money and saved some. After doing some calculations, I was able to buy my dream car when I didn’t win.
You are still in the political race?
Yes, now contesting in Nairobi’s Dagoretti North, since it’s closer for me and I will be able to attend to issues immediately.
Final message?
My fellow gospel musicians, let’s not let each other down. Let’s be real and support each other. We need to set a good example.
