Emmy Kosgei is among Kenya’s most renowned female gospel artists. While she continues to hit headlines all over, most of her life has been rather a mystery to the public. She is one of those superstars who choose to remain silent about her life and let people keep guessing. Well, while that could be the case, below are things you’d love to know about her.
Emmy Kosgei was born on July 22, 1980. She hails from the former Rift Valley province, in Kelewa village in Mogotio, Koibatek District.
Emmy was born into a strong Christian family. Her father, Bishop Jackson Kosgei is a highly acclaimed cleric. Her mum is equally a strong believer of Christian values and the two must have helped steer her where she is right now. Emmy has always attributed her triumphs in life to the only pillar of her life: God.
It is said that her journey in music started at a very tender age in her local church. By the time she was in high school, Emmy was recording collaborations with other artists. Emmy Kosgei also recorded songs with Maximum gospel singers, which further helped to sharpen her career in music.
Emmy Kosgei is married to a Nigerian Gospel Minister, Apostle Anselm Madubuko. The wedding took place on August 29, 2013, in Emmy’s hometown in Kenya.
