I do contemporary African gospel music
Gospel music is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of the AfricanAmerican church. During the late 1800s, African-American churches in the southern United States started fusing various styles of music into their worship services, including African-American spirituals, hymns, and sacred songs. Contemporary African Gospel music is built on cross-pollination with western popular music and genres of African popular music.
I’m in the studio at the moment, working
I would be releasing new songs soon, followed by a tour of cities in and out of Nigeria. Also so far, I have worked with Nosa, Efe Nathan, Tosin Martins, Wole Oni, Masterkraft, Big Bolaji, Laolu Gbenjo, the list is long. Of course, I’m looking forward to working with quite a number of people, but let’s keep it sealed for now.
All gospel acts preach the same message
So, there is no room for comparison, but know one thing, I enjoy so much grace. It amplifies the little I do that I wonder sometimes if I actually did this. Also, the spirit of excellence in my approach and method of delivery is another thing. In five years, I believe I must have taken a good number of nations of the world for God, and I believe gospel music will forever be a tool in the propagation of the gospel.
The secular music industry You can say secular music is more about entertainment and business. Generally, there is music business, and anybody can do this, as long as you know your way, but the moment the word “Gospel” comes in, then it has become ministry and in ministry it’s all about the kingdom. In this case, money is not priority but soul winning. However, if you are committed to the kingdom business, then God will be committed to your life and everything that pertains to you.
Initially the major challenge was money
You know it’s difficult to do music without money. But God has been faithful. In terms of success, it’s in the testimony of how God has blessed lives through our ministry, and the testimony has been overwhelming.
Performances, fans and dealing with fame...
Wherever we are called to minister or perform, we make sure we go with an unusual fire of the Holy Ghost, and lives never remain the same. You call them fans, I call them friends. They are very important people to me, and I try as much as possible to relate with them well, I even welcome suggestions and ideas from them; after all they are my friends. Concerning fame, well I always tell myself, what is it that you have that has not been given to you by God, so by God’s grace I try to introduce humility in all I do. To go far in life you must be humble.
I’m single And my kind of woman must be beautiful, God-loving, God-chaser, hardworking, praying wife and of course a mother.
