LETTER TO ALL GOSPEL ARTISTES

Dear Gospel artiste, There really is no such thing as the  Gospel music industry . Just as there is no Rap music industry, R n B music industry, reggae music industry or Hip hop music industry. We only have " The Entertainment industry " which encapsulates everything. Each genre of music appeals to different kinds of audiences. Stop complaining that you are broke because you do gospel music. ❌ You're broke because you are empty. What are you doing about your branding? What is special about you that your audience will be willing to pay for? How does your mind work? Now, If you think you're broke because you do Gospel music(which is actually a foolish way to think), I think you need some reorientation. You're not going to heaven because you are a gospel act. You're not going to hell if you don't do gospel. You may very well still go to hell even if you sing gospel from now till forever. Just work on your brand, work on yourself, work on you...

THE QUESTION FEW EVER GET TO ASK

Have you ever asked WHY? Now this is not the regular, "i-want-to-know-because-I-am-curious" inspired question which we seem to ask effortlessly these days, not even caring if the answer we get satisfies us or not. This WHY receives its truest answer from your heart. TAKE A MOMENT, sit back and ask yourself: Why am I this pretty? Why do I sing this good? What are my biceps for? Why is my IQ this high? Why am I this convincing?  Why am I the no 1 marketer in my Firm? Why do I have a lot of money? e.t.c  The list goes on forever.  Now:  Think about that quality you have that makes you stand-out, no matter the field where it can be applied.  Think about all the laurels you have amassed in your life time Now again, ask yourself "WHY?"  Are you just alive to balance the ecosystem? ❌ My point? Simple... If your gift has no heavenly value, then it is as good as being without. You were created for a reason, STOP BEING COMFORTABLE ...

SOLILOQUY- YOUR BEST SHOT AT GREATNESS

I once heard a great man say "I am my number one critic." At first it sounded funny, but with time and application I came to understand his choice of words. When you fail to own your shortcomings and work on being a better version of you, the world will lord it over you; family and friends included.  The moment you come to terms with the fact that you have a weakness, it lets you know what is between you and where you need to be. The twist here is that many wait for the society or circumstances to point it out for them, by then it is already too late. How does the society get to you ? ...with words The question is, why wait for their words to reach you first when you have a mouth of your own ?  YOU CANNOT PLUG AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE TO A WALL WITHOUT A SOCKET. This also applies to you, when you spend time talking to yourself, using words that uplift and befitting of a god, you will find out that whatever the society has to say about you will have no hold because there...

THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY

Image
There is actually no polite way to say write this, truth is,  MONEY DOESN'T EXIST . Okay...calm your nerves down and take a minute to just read till the end. You could say that I am entitled to my opinion...I wouldn't argue with you, trust me when I say that even life proves my point. MONEY ONLY EXISTS IN THE MIND OF THE POOR Again, I do not point fingers😃 .                                                                      CASE 1 When I was much younger, my friends and I will often say that we should always carry extra money in our pocket for miscellaneous purposes. That sounds responsible I believe...but here was the issue with our train of thoughts: we believed that it could be possible to be walking on the road and accidentally push someone's egg crate to the floor, and when that happen...

MUSIC SERIES: THE MEANING IN WORDS

Image
I have often heard people say that they preferred someone hit them to the person using words that "hurt" on them. They can relate to the very sharp and piercing nature of words. You should understand that apart from just hurting someone, words move in currents; currents that could carry someone even whilst the person is not conscious of it. My point... simple... most people now find it very easy to pass hate messages through music. Some others encourage violence and immorality through their songs such that you find yourself dancing off to the beat without knowing that those words are sinking into your subconsciousness. In places like AFRICA, they do not even say anything these days, they just make beats and people dance to their emptyness. When you write songs, do it purposefully. Music can be constructively used for good, Let us will the power of MUSIC and change the fate of the world we live in, and it starts with YOU. TO EVERY: nigerian african canadian artist ...

MUSIC SERIES: DO ME A SONG

Image
The ladies will probably understand this and relate with it more. The world of ROMANCE has made it very cute and romantic to have a guy do a song for a lady. I wouldn't say I am innocent of that crime though 😜 . My point? Simple... Everyone appreciates being idolized, even when they do not really ask for it or even need it, be it a man, woman , boy or girl. We all have a god-like side that needs a little polishing every now and then. First off, when you take time to write or compose even just 4lines of a song for someone, it makes the receiver of the song feel: loved important worthy, amongst many others. Now like i said initially, the person most times, never asked for it nor desired such, but the memory stays; if it is a voice-note you sent he/she will probably keep it stored for a long time to come. Now, you mustn't be an award winning songwriter to pull this off. You could simply look out for songs that convey the message to the person you intend doing it for, and...

MUSIC SERIES: THE DANCER IN YOU

Image
Why do you think it is impossible for you to move your body? Now don't quickly blame it on your lack of skill . Relax. Now tell me, what would it cost you to : nod your head when you hear good music shake your somewhat rigid waist to the rhythm of the bass guitar tap your very lovely looking foot inside your shoe;where you have decided to hide it , when YOUR favorite song is played My point ? Simple... Dancing is not a crime nor a sin. and you are not taken less serious when you dance. No matter how uptight you think life has got you looking,   DO NOT let it take the rhythm out of life for you.  Take 5min everyday to listen to some very lovely music and dance your mind to freedom, remember it's more about the process than the steps. DANCE: in the shower while taking out the trash while doing the dishes in the supermarket  when you hear something that makes you smile  EVERYWHERE and with Every opportunity SHOW YOU THE DANCER WITHIN and shak...
