Originally from Zimbabwe but raised in South Africa; Asher Mataruse also known as Asher PK grew up surrounded by music. Sharing a sweet childhood memory, he remembers how his family was well known for their family choir performances. “What I remember very well is I started singing formally at a tender age because I was 6 years old when I did my first big performance,” he says. In hindsight, it is quite evident that it is those humble beginnings that have brewed the fruitful career he has in music today.
The artist is also the winner the Bama Talent Search competition which was hosted by the Bembe Arts and Music Academy this year. According to Asher, winning the competition was a dream come true! He also attests that God was with him throughout the whole competition. “The Lord has been good to me as I asked Him to enter with me in the competition. I really saw Him functioning throughout the competition from the voting stage where I was always on top until the big day”, he says in gratitude.
Yahweh, is the name of this young man’s new single. As he shares about how the song came about, he proudly highlights that it was written by his spiritual father, Prophet Ethan Branson, and beautifully executed by him.
To Asher, music is more than singing or playing an instrument; it is about ministering to souls. “My wish is that every listener be touched by the song and may God help them to come back to the first love of God. As a minister of the word through music, may my music touch the hearts of many to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior”, he says.
The future is looking bright for this young man. His plans are to take over South Africa and the world through his music ministry. “It will be time to write more songs and to get busy with the work of God that was stored in me”, he says.
Yahweh is available for purchase on all major streaming platforms so go ahead and get it. Be on the lookout for his album titled, My God is YAHWEH which will be launched on the 16th of October at UPC Auditorium, in Nkowankowa, Tzaneen.
