Ringtone quit the gospel industry on July 5, 2022. He announced his decision through a video posted on social media.
The controversial singer asked secular artistes to welcome him into the industry and not to treat him as a threat.
“To all artistes in the secular industry, don’t take it as a completion just welcome me with an open heart so that we can take the industry to the next level,” He said,
He also gave a shoutout to a few gospel artistes who he said have been supporting him.
“I want to thank all the musicians in the gospel industry, the likes of Moji Short Baba, Guardian Angel and the rest, thank you for supporting me as your chair.”

Weeks after quitting the gospel industry, Ringtone has now revealed his rate card as a secular musician.
The controversial singer will be charging Ksh500,000 for club appearances and Ksh1 million for performance.
“I am an expensive artiste and Kenyans want to see me perform for them. Just research and see where I have performed before. I used to perform in church and crusade concerts, but I have not performed in clubs,” he said.
Ringtone has also changed his brand name to Ringtone Blington KE, inspired by his new dress code and switch to secular industry.
“My expensive pieces of jewellery will be my identity,” he said.
Ringtone promised to release his first song as a secular artiste this week.
“The song is called ‘Mpenzi Pamoja’. I wrote the song and I am hoping I will get someone to love me since I am now singing love songs,” he said.
