ON ME

IMAG0351

Who are you? Vonj – (Peace)

Date of birth? 1986, Gregorian calender

Where do you come from? First and only child of Juniper and Lamech Uzele, born in Kenya, living in the United kingdom.

What do you live for? Love and Unity! Music is where I find I can express,execute, and project these feelings to others. I believe it is my calling in life to be a composer and performer of music. I come from a musical family, my mum and dad were both well respected musicians and used to travel all around the world expressing their music through their sound of gospel! When I was a young boy they used to take me everywhere they toured, you can say I became inclined to the musicians way of living from a very early age.

What are your ambitions for your projects? No ambitions, but real projections to get in front of a mass of people in the name of inspiration and elevation!, these projects are all in the aim of projecting a bit of Positivity to this Negative world we live in.

Do you have any political views? No views, but visions, there is a place for politics somewhere in hell.

What are your religious views? “The Almighty” is not in religion!, but in relationship.. Realize.

What do you hope to fulfill in life? Indeed they are many Musicians who are fulfilled by the achievement of major album sales, many individuals built great structures on earth fulfilling their sense of pride, some have received many awards and accolades for their works and get fulfillment by this, However “ fulfillment” to me is a means to an end!, My reward or award cannot be found!, because I live for tomorrow!, My reward is when I find a new Idea to give to the people!, What I have and how I live no matter how big or small doesn’t matter to me, but what strength I have to give to the future is indeed my ultimate pleasure.

do you have any hobbies? Most of the time you will find me doing something with music whether it be, practicing performing,writing,composing, arranging, rehearsing,recording, listening or studying something!, however I do make time for other things in the day, I am interested in body fitness and conditioning, playing basketball, I’ve also recently found a love for martial arts, I guess the better the condition your body is in the better and longer the mind will operate..

In your spare time what artists do you listen to? Bob Dylan, Jose Feliciano, Mendelssohn, Prince, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Quincy Jones, Richie Havens, Peter Gabriel, Youssou N’dour, Lucky Dube, George Clinton, Dionne Warwick, James Brown, John McLaughlin …. and there you have all your alphabets…the list is endless…..

Any closing statements? Open your minds, then your heart, spirits then your souls! In the end of the material? Start to get to Love…. thus you will come to the knowing that “Truth is stranger than fiction” L.U. (Love and Unity)

    My only begotten son- Wow! How I Love you , you make me proud. You are a joy giver. When your daddy ( the late: Mr Wayio Uzele ) and I gave you your name “Uvonji “( which means: joy and gladness) you gave us joy and you made our hearts glad…and now you continue to do so. Oh! look at you now- you have lived up to this name- and now you are touching our hearts with a great encouragement through your music…I love you darling, keep it up

      In the 1970s while at the University of Zambia Christian Fellowship I listened to some life impacting music by two pretty Kenyan sisters Jennipher and Jemima, Lameck the trumpeter coming from Zaire and engaged to Jennipher and the tenor singer Joseph. I still sing along to the words I can recall of swear word, wayward traveller, chasing pretty rainbows, Jesus the bridge over troubled waters etc. We were so impacted. Those songs live in me. Pampapapaaaaa pampapapaaaa (the trumpet) when they see Jesus coming down from glory…….. the rest of the
      words i forget but oh my!!!!! Are you that jennipher?

  46. I love how positive you are, how you understand that we all need to find a way to be positive, to embrace the moment with love, to surrender to what is. I also really enjoyed that line ‘there is a place for politics somewhere in hell’. Too true.
