Cameroonian gospel singer TelDebbie has just released her debut single titled “What The Lord Has Said.”
TelDebbie was born on 8th June 1972 to Mr and Mrs Mbunya. She was named Telelen, meaning (a child without a name). At age 29, she was renamed Deborah.
As a child, it was not uncommon to catch TelDebbie climbing on cupboards or chairs, holding an object as a microphone, singing at the top of her voice. This act was seen as worldliness to her strict born again parents, thus earning her some beatings. Among her peers, she was often tagged as mami *forming forming because she sang songs that were not considered as real songs since no one knew them. At age 9, her siblings laughed at a song she formed such that she decided not to sing those unreal songs that came to o her mind. Little did she know that was a gift and a talent. She stopped forming songs but continued through secondary education, remixing other people’s songs so as to give that feeling she held inside of her. She was a member of an all girls group in high school where performed on and off campus.
Being an educationist, TelDebbie would turn challenging topics, concepts, or formulas into a song. This earned her the title success story maker as every child she taught made it big. Children with learning disabilities found learning fun with her. She has written many school songs, anthems as well as gospels. It is in the recording of one of the school songs that the studio guy Mbotake Christian challenged her to do a gospel single. She immediately bought the idea as if to say TELELEN DEBORAH WHAT THE LORD HAS SAID CONCERNING YOUR LIFE SO SHALL IT BE AMEN.
