Artists Development
Gospel artists carry a message. We help them carry it well, with craft, character and a clear sense of calling.
About the ministry
Training, mentorship and platforms for gospel artists, including the Artists Development Summit and the Zimba Omuyimbi programme.
Artists Development serves gospel singers, songwriters, instrumentalists and producers across East Africa who want to grow in their craft and in their walk with God.
Through the Artists Development Summit, the Zimba Omuyimbi empowerment programme and the Gospel Media Forum, artists receive teaching, mentorship and real platforms for ministry.
We measure success not by fame, but by artists who stay faithful to the calling and use their gifts to build the Kingdom.
