Renowned Kenyan gospel singer Pitson, celebrated for timeless hits like Lingala Ya Yesu and Uvumilivu, has inked a licensing deal with Universal Music Group East Africa (UMG EA).
This partnership will see the label handle the distribution and promotion of his vast music catalog, expanding his reach both locally and globally.
Expressing his gratitude, Pitson shared, “Being part of the UMG family is a blessing. God has guided my journey in the music industry, and this is yet another testament to His grace and love. I choose to walk with Him always.”
Marking his return after a hiatus, the award-winning artist is set to release a brand-new album, Brand New Me, on March 7th under UMG EA. The project symbolizes a fresh chapter in his career following a period of personal reflection and growth.
“I took a step back to focus on personal development,” Pitson revealed. “Now, I’m excited to share songs that I’ve written over the years—songs that I hope will restore faith and inspire hope in my fans and fellow believers.”
Welcoming Pitson to the label, Universal Music Group East Africa’s General Manager, Chinasa Udeala, praised the singer’s impact on the gospel scene.
