Bio

Eglada (real name Agnes Gudza) is a female gospel musician from Zimbabwe. She is a former Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) producer anddirector. She spent much of her life backing well-known gospel ensamble Mahendere Brothers. She featured as a backing vocalist on their song ‘Hupenyu Wepanyika’.

She has so far launched one album under her belt. The seven track album titled ‘Titaridzei’ is about people who lose their way but later realise their mistakes and seek divine intervention. Percy Mhara who owns Lionwave Studios, assisted her to record her debut album. Her passion for music began during her teens. She began writing songs at 11, while she was in Grade Five. Later on, she joined the Chitungwiza Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) praise and worship team. Her involvement in the praise and worship team refined her skills as she often took part in various crusades held throughout the country. The late AFM leader Pastor Chiweshe, encouraged her to pursue music as a career.

In 2012, she launched a foundation to assist orphans and needy children in society. The foundation is called For the Development and Empowerment of Disadvantaged Children. It was launched at Rugare Orphan Care in Rugare, Harare, at an event that also marked the official launch of her album ‘Tiratidzei’.
