I’m Nigerian born and resident in Barcelona Spain. A Certified Teacher of Business English . Married with four kids. Now happily exploring my previously neglected lifestyle, gospel music.
2. HOW LONG HAVE YOU JOURNEYED IN MUSIC.
Officially three years(dating back to covid era when l went to studio for the first time). However, l started singing and leading in songs from when l seven years in a junior junior Charismatic group in my little village.
3. HOW SUPPORTIVE IS YOUR FAMILY TO THIS MUSIC MINSTRY: ESPECIALLY YOUR HUSBAND?
Gospel Music especially for independent Artists is quite demanding in every aspect: spiritually, Artistically, financially, psychologically etc. I’m blessed to be in a family where different people fit into different roles gunning to achieve one thing. I’ve had to do some song parts with my daughters. My son of 14 years has been my little Engineer handling my mini studio and doing most of the editing involved. Infact he designed my first ever promo pic at eleven years. Hubby keeps me on my toes to ensure that I’m in the loop. When l get cut in the Web, he keeps the home front moving. Above all he throws in his weight to ease the financial pressure. In all its a collective effort.
4. WHATS THE REAL MEANING OF MUSIC TO YOU FROM THE GOSPEL PERSPECTIVE. ?
God is musical. Gospel music is gospel preached in colours of melodies and sounds. God is spirit. Gospel music must come from a place of depth and profound connection with the spiritual to meet the spiritual yearning in man. Gospel music should ignite a longing to connect with the superior deity either in praise, worship, meditation, penitentiary, or by motivation.
5. TELL US ABOUT ONE OF YOUR SONGS, EBUBE AND IDEAS BEHIND IT.
Ebube (The Glory) was birthed in my place of worship. Ussually from midnight down to the weehours, you’re sure to meet me connecting with BABA GOD in praise, worship and prayers. It’s at this hour that most of my songs come ( and l have over 200 unpublished songs). Ebube (chorus) dropped during a praise session and like other songs I’d do researches on the topic to know why God called my attention to it. Interesting I’ve listened to the senior Pastor of Dunamis int’l Gospel Centre Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche preach on the Glory of God and my eyes popped on hearing what the glory of God does and what it is. (Here l have to state that God used Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche to restore my music ministry through series of dream encounters with him). So l went back to search and more
8. ANY PLANS TO COLLABORATE WITH ANY OF THE GOSPEL MUSIC ICONS.
That would be one of the dreams come through. However, it’s not a do or die affair. I’d rather devote more to developing capacities…and to focusing on where the spirit is leading me per time and if he says its time for collaboration he will provide who, when to and how to.
9. WHO IS YOUR MENTOR IN THE GOSPEL MUSIC INDUSTRY.?
I’d rather use plural in this question . Coming from a family of music lovers and growing up surrounded by vibes and melodies. Mum listening to every good song and miming after the singers: Patty Obasi, Voice of the Cross, Onyeka Onwenu. Me following suit to copy the lyrics of Same Artists plus Panam P.P., etc.. Eventually l see myself aligning with deep soulful songs. The types that make me cry . I love to pay attention to those who move me to cry. The list is much.
10. GOD SPARING YOUR LIFE, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE
I’m not in a competition however, l’ll keep outdoing myself. Whatever I’m doing now in few years should be a child’s play. Only this way would l measure my growth and then only should l tell myself welldon. Eventually, the dream is to be the best version of me and to give the best of what I’ve been given to bless humanity and won souls for heaven.
11. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR THE UP AND COMING MUSIC MINISTERS.
I ussually begin this response by reminding myself that we’re all up and coming irrespective of the realm we operate. It’s only the reality that can keep all of us relevant irrespective… This applies to all and more to beginners. As long as there’s yearning in us, there is the spirit to fill us up . The more we’re filled the more supernatural we become and A spirit filled upcoming is a bomb waiting to explode.
GOD BLESS YOU.
