MOVERS AND SHAKERS: MEET RUTH MATETE, THE ANGELIC SINGING QUEEN…

The first time I bonded with Ruth Matete was at the TV- room in Daystar University on a Tuesday morning. Little did I know, being a Chapel Tuesday, Ruth would lead the Praise and Worship session? And to say the least, she brought the “church down” with her angelic voice and swag.

But behind her beautiful smile and deep voice, is a story of a daddy’s girl who has risen above adversary to inspire others. We bonded after with her, but mainly in the TV- room before she went to the Tusker Project Fame.

The only child from a sole- parental  family, she began singing at 8. Her mother died when she was only 8 and she has been raised solely by her dad ever since.

Having completed her diploma course in communication at Daystar University and awaiting to graduate next year, she is the daughter of a talented actor, who doubles up as a freelance radio presenter. The dad acts as Mr. Mwambu on the local drama series “Mali” which airs on “NTV”.

To her, her dad has been a great influence and a source of motivation.
