I Locked Myself in the House for Months, Gospel Singer Kris Erroh Opens Up on Depression

Contemporary gospel hitmaker Kris Erroh has opened up about his bout with depression that saw him lock himself in the house for two months.

The Award-winning musician, in a heartfelt post on Instagram, revealed how life’s frustrations got the better of him and everything seemed out of place.

“Nothing seemed worth fighting for, nothing was worth the stress, the hustle. Had been frustrated for months,” said Kris.

He added that his music career suffered a hit after he paid for three music videos that were not shot for one reason or another. His mother was also not feeling well and soon enough he had locked himself in his house for two months.

“Paid for three music videos [but] shot none… something always came up… Mama wasn’t doing well and soon enough, I locked myself in my house for two months. No shows. No fellowship. No church. No nothing. I used to see everyone else flourish… sit on the sidelines and see y’all post Glam pics,” explained Kris.

During this time, the ‘Mmh Baba’ hitmaker received an instrumental from producer Yo Alex that served as his silver lining.

“There was no light at the end of this tunnel. Until brother @yoalexproducer sent me an instrumental and he said I had to get on it. Guys, I didn’t even have net to download it. I was at my lowest…”

“I was a mess. But God turned it to a message. I sat down and remembered all the good that the Lord has done… My family, My friends, The gift of music and also being one of the most outstanding acts from my country…and realized it’s all by Grace. From then on, I sank myself in studio,” wrote Kris Erroh.

The depression phase inspired him to write his new song titled ‘Blessings’ in collaboration with Yo Alex and Mwinda.

“I am not as active online as I was… am not as chatty as I was… I probably won’t do any interviews… But I just want you to know… Thi s[song] was a masterpiece from my heart. I hope you feel the depth of the pen…coz deep calls unto deep.”

I WROTE THIS SONG WHILE IN DEPRESSION. Nothing seemed worth fighting for, nothing was worth the stress, the hustle. Had been frustrated for months…paid for three music videos, shot none, something always came up… Mama wasn’t doing well and soon enough, I locked myself in my house for two months. No shows. No fellowship. No church. No nothing. I used to see everyone else flourish… sit on the sidelines and see y’all post Glam pics… yani guys, There was no light at the end of this tunnel. Until brother @yoalexproducer sent me an instrumental and he said I had to get on it. Guys, I didn’t even have net to download it. I was at my lowest. My music is different, I prophesy in my music, I praise in my music, I worship in my music, I use it as my therapy and an outlet. When I got to download this instrumental… I won’t lie, this Man had tears in his eyes. I played it the whole night!!! Over and over, over and over. In the morning. I woke up, went for a walk… sang the whole song in my head. By the time I got back, I just called Yo and told him am ready. He couldn’t believe it. That same day, @kennedykrezi reached out and asked if I was honestly doing good. Man I was a mess. But God turned it to a message. I sat down and remembered all the good that the Lord has done… My family, My friends, The gift of music and also being one of the most outstanding acts from my country…and realized it’s all by Grace. From then on, I sank myself in studio, @safejoe & @yoalexproducer Have been very instrumental in restoring the dude you see here. I am not as active online as I was… am not as chatty as I was… I probably won’t do any interviews… But I just want you to know… This was a masterpiece from my heart. I hope you feel the depth of the pen…coz deep calls unto deep. I present to you…#BLESSINGS. Written By KRIS ERROH, MWINDA & CHISANGA. Performed by KRIS ERROH & MWINDA.
