The siblings' duo of Erica and Jessica released 'Mutima Wanjye Shima' official video and said that it is based on trying moments they have been through some days ago and God reminded them that in good or bad they have to be thankful. 

The video is of a song, based on the Bible read Psalm 103: 2 where people get to be reminded of praising and thanking God. Erica said that the song has been kept as a written piece and they changed the style. She added, "We decided to release this song so as to strengthen us in our life because we have been through a lot. We've been in a situation where nobody could imagine that we could thank God. But the Holy Spirit reminded us that there is a lot to be thankful for. "

The duo said that this song is not only about preaching, but also encouraging people to revisit themselves. Erica shared that the time they have been in was not easy at all and so they are trying to think of anyone who might be going through a lot now as well. "There might be someone who is going through some hard times. For us, our hearts were so tired that we couldn't be thankful. However, God came to our rescue and we praised him, " said Erica. 

Jessica revealed that they both grew up in a Sunday School and kids' choir and that is where they learned singing. They went to Uganda and India for further studies and that is when they created their clue and could be invited to sing at different events. Before officially becoming singers, they prayed for it and got some support, especially from their families. 

The two confirm that their music is built on prayers and always calling upon the Holy Spirit. They are aware of some who joined the Gospel Music industry and now are nowhere to be found. With that being said Erica added, "The first song we did 'Umunyenkomezi' we had no idea of how people could welcome us or react. We are so thankful to you all who played roles in making this song a hit. People from Rwanda and Diaspora tell us that they liked the song."

So far, the duo has five songs out and they normally write songs based on people or their daily lives and the dreams they may have as well as other inspirations according to the holy spirit's guidance to them.
