FRANSINA Ndahambelela Haiduwa, better known by her stage name “Lady Lundy,” has committed herself to using gospel music to inspire and spread positivity among young people.
The 26-year-old from Olunghono Village in the Ohangwena region has taken on the mission to share messages of optimism, despite never participating in a school choir during her teenage years.
“I was shy back then, which is why I never took part in any choral activities,” she said.
As Haiduwa has grown older, her inner child has urged her to give singing a try.
Her debut album, “Omafiku Ange,” was released in September of last year. The album’s title is inspired by Psalm 39:4, “Knowing the measures of days on Earth.”
The album was recorded and mastered by Jux Adolf from Tulela Music Production.
According to Haiduwa, gospel music appeals to people of all ages and generations, making everyone her target audience.
“Gospel music can be appreciated by non-religious people as well,” she added.
Haiduwa emphasized that gospel music has always helped her find the right balance between work, family, and faith.
She noted that the right music can deliver the message that people need to hear after a long day of negative news and setbacks.
“Especially when things seem incredibly bleak, it refocuses our attention on what lies ahead rather than what has failed,” she noted.
Haiduwa then urged the youth to always believe in themselves and approach things with faith, hope, and courage.
She added that opportunities do not come unless one creates them for themselves.
