Few years latter, Kenya presents to you this beautiful lady with great potential in the music field. She is hard working, determined, and loves God.

She was involved in practically everything musical while at school including school choirs, group acts, music club, drama and Christian union. This is also where she became a born again Christian in 1997. After school she pursued her musical career with a girl group called "truth". Soon enough the group was touring all over the city in various gigs. That's how Sheila started out in the music industry five years ago and she has never turned back.

He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, a release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim, the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance, to comfort all who mourn Sheila's ministry is a prophetic ministry in that her messages are for the edification of the church (Philipians 14:3 & 4) Sheila's mission is to see the body of Christ strengthened and renewed by the revelations of God through her music.
