KODA put his career on hold to help me and others – Uncle Ato | 3News

Gospel musician Uncle Ato has eulogized the late renowned gospel artiste, KODA for his benevolence in the industry.

In an interview on 3FM Drive with Giovani Caleb, Tuesday, Uncle Ato praised KODA for his selflessness and support towards his peers.

The revered worshipper said KODA at a point sacrificed his career to help him [Uncle Ato], Eugene Zuta and others record their album before he worked on his.

“Yeah..we were in KNUST, he was singing, playing instrumentals but when we came out, he recorded Nii Okine, recorded myself, recorded Eugene Zuta, helped a lot of us out before he even came out with his album and God lifted him up,” he said on October 15.

Uncle Ato noted that KODA has left behind a huge legacy through his service although he passed on too soon.

“We wished he lived longer, he would have done more,” he added.

Like the life of Apostle Paul in the good book, Uncle Ato intimated that KODA would have continued to be a blessing to his colleagues had he not passed on.

“You know Paul said ‘If I go, it’s good for me but if I stay, it will benefit you who are living’. I think that’s KODA’S life, if he had stayed, it would have benefited us,” he said.

The ‘Nsem Pii’ singer was laid to rest on September 20 in a solemn all-white burial service attended by many gospel musicians who paid their final respect to the late singer.
