GWERU gospel musician Daniel Mhere, elder brother to Mathias, says music runs in the family, but he will not compare himself to anyone because every person has a unique voice.
Mhere says he has had clashes with fans trying to compare him with his high-riding sibling Mathias.
In an interview with Standard Style, Mhere said as gospel artistes, they preach the Word of God, luring souls to salvation.
“As gospel musicians, we preach through singing verses from the Bible. We all preach salvation, so there is no need for us to compete among ourselves,” Mhere said.
“Mathias is my younger brother, he inspires me a lot since he is the one who ventured into the industry before me. He gives me strength during times when I am almost giving up. l can say he is my legend.”
Mhere was born and bred in Gutu near Mukaro Mission in a family of four boys and three girls with Mathias being one of his siblings.
As someone who grew up in a Christian family, he said he started singing while in Grade 3 after he joined the school choir.
