"I have been a singer for a long time and that has been my only tool of expressing myself, so this award is a challenge meant to encourage me to continue doing well," he said.

Kawara said he would be working on videos for his latest album and the project would be complete some time next year. He said he is working on having songs from all his projects on video. "I am already

selecting some of the songs that I will turn into videos. "Fans should look forward to something next year."
