Guardian Angel, the award-winning artist, known for hits like Rada and Nadeka, claims that if he stopped working today, he would still be financially comfortable for a number of years — possibly for the rest of his life.
The gospel musicians’ confidence in his wealth management and income streams has sparked both admiration and skepticism among fans and fellow musicians.
Speaking recently, Guardian Angel said he has built enough wealth to sustain himself without needing to record another song.“If I decided to stop releasing music and sleep, I would never spend all my money,” he declared. “I could die and still leave money behind.”
The singer insisted that his success is not just about music royalties, but also about smart financial planning and diversification. Over the years, he has invested in several ventures that continue to earn him income even when he’s not actively performing.
“It’s not boasting,” he said, “it’s God’s blessing and good management. I have been intentional about what I do with money.”
Guardian Angel’s lifestyle, by his own admission, is not modest — but it’s well structured. In a separate interview, he revealed that his monthly bills total at least KSh 1.5 million, sometimes going beyond KSh 2 million depending on ongoing projects.
These expenses include staff salaries, household needs, operations at his music studio, and running costs for his office in Karen. Despite such high costs, Guardian Angel maintains that his income comfortably supports it all.
The singer attributes much of this stability to long-term planning. Apart from music, Guardian Angel has invested in real estate, event production, and content monetization. He also owns a music label that manages other artists — an income stream that continues even when he’s not performing.
Social media reactions to Guardian Angel’s statement were mixed. Some fans praised him for his foresight and discipline, saying his story was a rare example of financial maturity in the music business.
“It’s good to see an artist talking about sustainability instead of struggle,” one fan posted. “He’s setting a good example for young creatives.”
Others, however, questioned the claim, arguing that such confidence may be overstated. “No one is truly safe from financial shocks,” another user commented. “Even the richest can go broke if things change.”
Despite the chatter, Guardian Angel insists his point is not to flaunt wealth but to inspire financial discipline. He says his goal is to show that artists can thrive beyond performance fees.
“I want people to understand that talent is not enough — you need structure,” he said. “You can’t just depend on shows. You have to plan for the future.”
