For gospel performer Snenhlanhla Msomi, better known as Sneziey, motherhood has transformed far more than her everyday schedule. It has reshaped her understanding of life, belief and the need to place her trust in God.
The double-platinum artist said she could speak about her children endlessly, especially about the wisdom and perspective she has gained since becoming a mother.
She described her children as constant proof that prayer and faith can help people endure challenging periods.
Motherhood, she explained, has also made her more composed. She believes God taught her that remaining faithful during uncertain circumstances ultimately brings its own reward.
When praying for her children, Sneziey said she asks for more than their happiness or success; above all, she seeks wisdom on their behalf.
She believes divine wisdom provides direction and reminds people that they do not have to face life’s struggles by themselves.
She also said receiving a Crown Gospel Awards nomination, particularly for Sinomlilo, carries deep personal meaning because the song belongs to the church music she grew up singing and hearing.
That spiritual outlook is reflected in Sneziey’s work, including her newest single, Sinomlilo, which received a Best Traditional Gospel nomination at the Crown Gospel Music Awards.
The recognition follows another major career achievement: her first album, Izulu, reached double-platinum status.
Sneziey said the nomination feels especially meaningful because the track is connected to the songs that formed part of her upbringing in church.
She reiterated that the Crown Gospel Awards nod for Sinomlilo is deeply significant to her, as it honours a song drawn from the music she spent her childhood singing and listening to at church.
She explained that the track was prompted by the duty believers have to help guide others back toward God. In her view, its message centres on spiritual fire and the responsibility Christians carry within the body of Christ.
The latest nomination adds another notable accomplishment to her career, although she wants the song to achieve more than awards attention or public acclaim.
Her hope is that listeners will enjoy joining in with the song while also taking time to grasp the meaning carried by its lyrics.
