South African award-winning musician Gigi Lamayne, real name Genesis Gabriella has opened up on her spiritual life.

The 24-year-old singer and songwriter recently confessed that she visited a spiritual healer to get a break through in her music career. Gigi made the confession on her official account on microblogging site, Twitter.

Opening up on her visit, Gigi said that her life has changed for the better since she embarked on the spiritual journey. She, however, revealed that she was not one to consult a ‘priest doctor’ before, but now has a deep connection with her ancestors and God since making the decision to pursue spiritual healing.

‘Prophets, pastors, preachers alike. Everybody telling me everything, pushing this way and that. It’s like something was deliberately confusing me.’

Gigi revealed that the healer had helped her get past difficult times in the highly competitive entertainment industry. She added that, if it was not for the spiritual healer she might not have been able to soldier on when she received bad treatment from the public.

As young as I was, I felt old, fragile, the music industry is a horrible place. I was attacked constantly online and the labels, it was like they didn’t take me seriously.’

Gigi also explained how emotional she was after she was shown her fourth-generation ancestors.

‘I Get there and there was this warmth. The warmth I used to feel surrounding me when I used to dream of my khokho and gogo. She took me four generations back before I was born! I almost ran out screaming. To top it all off, my family confirmed everything.’
