Zambian artist Pompi to headline Alive in the Park concert, shares inspiring journey of faith and uncompromising quality

Zambian musical powerhouse Pompi is set to electrify the stage at the Alive in the Park concert on September 12, 2025, at Millennium Park, Lugogo in Kampala.

Ahead of his highly anticipated performance, the artist opened up about his extraordinary journey, emphasizing a philosophy of unwavering commitment to excellence and the transformative power of faith.

Known for his distinctive sound and impactful lyrics, Pompi operates under a strict code, succinctly stating, “The standard is the standard. You don’t get into a room and give excuses. My process is finding the best sound, working with the best people whatever it costs.” This ethos underscores his dedication to delivering top-tier musical experiences, regardless of the challenges.

This pursuit of excellence, however, was forged through formidable challenges, particularly during his early days in music. Reflecting on his initial foray, Pompi honestly admitted, “When I started, there was no industry. I had no idea where I was going, and it was almost impossible to sustain yourself especially in Gospel.” He painted a picture of an uncharted landscape where self-doubt was a constant companion.

Despite the daunting odds and self-doubt, a pivotal decision marked a turning point. “But even with all the doubts, I chose to obey what God had instructed me to do,” he shared, highlighting the profound role of spiritual conviction in his path.

This act of faith, Pompi recounts, unlocked unprecedented doors. “My first album We Will Now became the highest-selling CD in Zambia for almost a year. At that time, people didn’t even buy CDs, but out of obedience God did a new thing things no eye had seen, no ear had heard.” This unexpected success, against the backdrop of a declining CD market, was a testament to his belief.

The impact of We Will Now wasn’t just a personal triumph; it dramatically reshaped his career trajectory. “From no support and no sponsors to landing one of the first influencer deals in the country, everything changed,” Pompi stated, illustrating the profound shift from obscurity to influence and commercial viability.

Pompi’s story is a compelling testament to the power of conviction, rigorous quality, and dedicated faith. His performance at the Alive in the Park concert on September 12, 2025, promises to be more than just a musical showcase; it will be an experience infused with the inspiring spirit of an artist who built an industry through unwavering belief and impeccable standards. Music enthusiasts are encouraged to mark their calendars for what is expected to be a memorable evening in Lugogo.
