Kestin pursued formal training in music at Kenyatta University after initially enrolling in theatre arts. She first completed a Music Diploma (with distinction) between 2012 and 2014, then progressed to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Music by 2020 ,balancing study with financial hardship using scholarships and community support.

Teaching & Leadership

While studying, Kestin served as a music instructor at Kenyatta University. She later taught at elite schools such as Almasi International and Braeburn Imani, before joining the worship team at International Christian Church (ICC) in Imara Daima, Nairobi in early 2019. Together with her husband, Mark Kiptoo, she leads the church’s worship ministry.

Music & Discography

Kestin’s recorded ministry began with the song “Yesu Pekee” in collaboration with Davis Kiarie in May 2018, marking her debut in gospel music. Subsequently, she spent seven years with the Sounds of Worship Band under James Kahero, contributing the original song “Ahadi” .

Her first album, This Generation (Live) (2022), features uplifting praise favorites like Usifiwe, Worthy Of My Praise (feat. Alice Kimanzi), and Nimepakwa; songs that quickly became staples in Kenyan praise sets

Her sophomore release, Atah (Intimacy with God) [Live Set 1] (2025), delves deeper into themes of intimacy with God, with standout tracks including Sitasahau (feat. Pastor Emmanuel Mule), Come to the Father, Stay (feat. Winnie Wambui), Natamani Nikuone (feat. Israel Kakondja), and Satisfy

Collaborations & Influence

Kestin has collaborated extensively across East Africa, including features with Naomi Bandi on Jehovah Wewe, Eunice Meshack on Mungu Mkuu, and Essence of Worship on Damu (Live). These projects demonstrate her reach beyond Kenya and her place within broader worship movements.

Style & Impact

Ceaseless in spirit and marked by a vibrant worship style, her songs blend joyful praise with intimate worship, deeply rooted in biblical truth. Her compositions like Worthy Of My Praise and Nimepakwa reflect themes of gratitude and divine victory and are widely adopted in church worship sets across East Africa.

Kestin is married to Mark Kiptoo, a partner in ministry and worship leadership at ICC Imara Daima. Together, they serve the Nairobi church in spiritual and practical leadership roles.

Her ministry vision centers on equipping the body of Christ through transformative worship. The album Atah, meaning “intimacy with God,” serves as a reflection of her call to deepen spiritual connection through consistent engagement with God in prayer, worship, and prophetic listening

Refrain

I come to the Throne of grace

To obtain mercy and help

Those who call on Your name

Will never be ashamed

Chorus

Jesu Jesu (Jesus Jesus)

Interlude

O gbe inu wundia sola (He dwells in the virgin honorably)

Chorus

Jesus Jesus

Jesus Jesus

Jesus Jesus

I come to You

Apostle Grace’s ministration

Now listen child of God

The woman at the well

That Samaritan woman that many of us know

Jesus told us something so powerful

He said you worship what you know not

So, allow me to give context to what we are singing

The bible tells us, that God who at sundry times and in diverse manners

Spoke to our fathers through the prophets

But He has in these last days spoken through His son Jesus Christ

And the bible says He has made Him heir to all things

And by Him were the worlds created

Now listen to the mystery

The bible had said He spoke to the fathers through the prophets -present continuous

Every time He came to a prophet

He gave him a revelation for Isreal or an Individual

But the bible says in these last days, He has spoken

Who gets the revelation?

In the old He spoke -present continuous

It was progressive revelation

In the last days, He’s not speaking or going to speak what He has not already spoken

Praise God

The Jesus you are coming to

Has already spoken your destiny

You’ve been given everything that pertains to life and godliness

You’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

The bible is very clear that He has been given a name above all names

That at the sound of that name, every knee should bow, of the things in the earth

Of the things in the heavens and the end of the earth

And every tongue should confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

To the glory of the Father

When we come to Him

We don’t come to Him hoping that He will do something

We come to Him because everything we’ve come for is finished

You are not coming for healing

You are coming for health because you are healed through His stripes

You are not coming to be provided for

You are coming because you are provided for

You are not coming for a child

You are coming because you are given a child

You are not believing God for marriage

You are coming because you have been given marriage

Philemon 1:6 says

The communication of your faith becomes effectual as you acknowledge every good thing which is in you

Chorus

Jesu Jesu o (Jesus Jesus)

Jesu Jesu (Jesus Jesus)

Jesu Jesu (Jesus Jesus)

Mo wa so do re (I have come to You)

In Luganda we sing like this

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Nzize gyooli (I have come to You)

Jesus Jesus

Jesus Jesus

Jesus Jesus

I come to You

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Yesu Yesu (Jesus Jesus)

Nzize gyooli (I have come to You)

Dunsin’s Ministration

For He has given You a Name that is above every other names

At the mention of the Name of Jesus

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

That Jesus is Lord

For the Name of the Lord is a strong tower

The righteous runs into it and is saved

For the virgins love Thee

For Your name is poured forth like oil

So, when I call the name Jesus

It means I anointed

Jesus Christo

The anointed one

Jesus, anointed

Jesus, anointed

And according to Isaiah 10:27

It shall come to pass in that day

That the yolk shall be destroyed

And the burden shall be lifted

Because of the anointing

Somebody shout Jesus

Every yolk is being destroyed

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Anointed, Jesus

Let every yolk be destroyed, now

Lift it up for the last time

With your hands up

Say Jesu Jesu o

Jesu Jesu o (Jesus Jesus)

Jesu Jesu (Jesus Jesus)

Jesu Jesu (Jesus Jesus)

Mo wa so do re (I have come to You)

King Of Hearts lyrics by Brandon Lake

by with No Comment Uncategorized

I heard the hammer

King of the Jews

Carved into a wooden banner

Made you a crown

Bloodied your temple

You could have come down

But in silence we both trembled

You gave your life

I gave you nothing

You poured me grace

I poured you poison

Still you drank

My cup of shame

With all that I’ve done

Could I be forgiven

Is there still a way

To enter your kingdom

I’m just a thief

Beside a king

King of Hearts

I looked to my side

I only had seconds

Please remember we met

When you’re seated high in Heaven

He spoke in a whisper

Looking deep in my eyes

Said son this time tomorrow

We will be in paradise

You gave your life

I gave you nothing

You poured me grace

That blood keeps on running

A love so great

You took my place 

After all that I’ve done

I’ve been forgiven

Those scars made a way those

To enter your kingdom

On golden streets

Beside a King

(Redeemed and free)

(A Beloved Thief)

Right Beside His King

King of Hearts

King of the poor

King of the lowly

King of the broken 

King of the lonely

King of the hopeless 

King of the gone too fars

King of hearts

King of the lost

King of the guilty

King of the misfits

King of the filthy

King of critics

King of the brand new start

King of hearts

After all that I’ve done

I’ve been forgiven

Those scars made a way those

To enter your kingdom

On golden streets

Beside a King

Redeemed and free

(A Beloved Thief)

Right Beside His King

King of Hearts
