The 'Tetema' hitmaker largely appreciated God for his success in music citing that he turned to God despite all the suffering he was going through in the music as an upcoming artist. 

"Success is a dream for those who believe in God. Personally, I believed in God despite humiliations, being forced to give up, being told I cannot make it and being pushed back. I struggled and believed all will come to pass. (Mafanikio ni ndoto ya wanaoamini katika mungu. Binafsi niliamua kuamini katika mungu licha ya licha ya manyanyaso, kukatishwa tamaa, kusema hutoweza na kurudishwa nyuma. Nilipambana na nikaamini vyote ni vya kupita)," Rayvanny narrated in the video shared on Instagram.

The award-winning musician pointed out the fact that he is not rich but it is only because he has found favour in the eyes of God.

"I am not rich, I am not a millionaire. But I appreciate God for the opportunity that he has given me, it is of great value to me. (Mimi sio tajiri, mimi sio millionare. Lakini namshukuru mwenyezi Mungu kwa nafasi aliyonipa, inadhamani kubwa sana kwangu). Dear Lord, thanks for the beautiful life, success and blessings," Rayvanny said.

The singer enjoys a huge fan base in Kenya. His collaboration with various Kenyan musicians including Bahati and Willy Paul has expanded his fan base even further. 

He produced the song 'Nikumbushe' with Bahati and 'Mmmh' with Willy Paul, both of which got a positive reception.
