Mejja Taking a Break from Music Due to Throat Issues

Gengetone sensation  Mejja, speaking to Mseto East Africa show host Willy M Tuva, revealed that he took a break from producing new music after his doctor’s advice due to throat problems.

Mejja further explained that he canceled a major show in Australia due to a throat issue in 2022. He started experiencing throat issues after a bout of flu without access to proper medication while in Australia, where he frequently performed.

His symptoms, which he ignored, were on and off until he noticed blood spots while clearing his throat after brushing his teeth. “Hapo ndio nilijua kuna issue. Hapo ndio nilienda hospitali. So enyewe tuseme tu throat yangu haiko poa. Shida ni nikirecord lazima nipige ile high pitch. Nimeambiwa nikae one month bila kutumia sauti. Ni voice rest, nisiongee sana, nisiperform na naenda voice hygiene therapy,” he said.

Mejia also explained that this condition has affected him psychologically and asked for prayers from his fans because music is his everything. “”Waniombee yaani kwanza. Kwababu inaniaffect psychologically. Unajua mziki ndio kila kitu. So mara leo nikona sauti, kesho siezi ongea inanisumbua sana kwa sababu siezi taka ati hivyo ndio niliwacha muziki” he said.

Mejja, during the interview, encouraged his fans to drink a lot of water and avoid sugary foods as a preventive measure against a similar condition. He finished by thanking his manager, Shiko Kimani, for sticking with him and supporting him through thick and thin.
