Damita reveals her journey as a soloist

Tyscot recording artist Damita, has had tremendous career as a solo artist, but even after the hit singles and countless fans, she is still humbled by her success: “I never knew, nor would have thought in a million years I would be a solo artist.” 

Many would believe that Damita had her sights set on a solo career, but there is so much more to be revealed about this anointed singer.

As a young girl, she enjoyed many days singing with her family members, including her twin sister. On different occasions, Damita’s family would gather to sing along to their favorite Gospel song or an on the spot musical arrangement.  “We were a musical family; both sides of my family are musically inclined. Everyone is a singer, musician or a preacher.”

Damita learned early on how to work well with others and the importance of teamwork. Her early lessons later inspired her to form the all female acappella group, Adoration-N-Prayze, along with her sister.

While the thought of being a solo artist never ran through Damita’s mind, God was positioning her to become one.  When the door to destiny opened, Damita walked in with confidence and contributed two great projects, “Damita” and “No Looking Back” to the Gospel Music Industry.

From her early days of singing with family members and Adoration-N-Prayze, it was undeniable that Damita was destined to reach the masses with her massive gift.

Since then, she has evolved into more than just a solo artist, but a songwriter, producer, minister and actress.  Fans of her music will appreciate her journey, as they listen to new music on her upcoming project “Anticipation.”

 ”Anticipation” is straight from Damita’s heart and includes songs written by Damita including the radio single “Won’t Turn Back”.  Other songs from the project are, “Praise You Now”, “Be Revealed”, “You’re Amazing God”, “Still Here” and the title cut “Anticipation”.- Gospelguru

Gospelguru reported that ”Anticipation” will be released via  Tyscot Music & Entertainment on July 24, 2012.

Artist of the day: Nigeria best Gospel music producer, Wole Oni

He is the Nigeria number one gospel music producer. Fortunately, we hail from the same area Akure. If it were possible to believe that He was born with the “keys”, I would have believed.

Wole oni is a synthesizer, a programmer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger and sound engineer. He is the founder and current CEO of Instinct Productions and Wole Oni Music Productions (WOMP). Wole Oni is born in Ondo town, Nigeria. He has worked in many countries including Rwanda, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States for several years writing and producing music for artists’ album projects, as well as scoring various radios, television and film projects.
Although,  Wole oni studied computer sciences, his unquenchable passion for music made him choose music as a profession eventually. He started playing percussion instruments at the age of 7 in the early 80’s in his father’s church, and with the music team of his primary school. He later trained as a classical pianist and replaced his father as the church organist at St. Andrew Anglican Church, Akure where he developed his music skills and talent. Thereafter, he began to produce artistes in Decah and Ivory music in the late 80’s

His first hit was producing “E wa fun mi ni visa” for Bembe Aladisa, but his first big break was producing the smash hit song “Kosobabire” which gained massive air play all over the world and earned a KORA award for Gospel songstress Folake Umosen. He has not looked back since; churning out hits after hits. The next big hit was “Igwe” for gospel music quadruplets, Midnight Crew. So far, he has produced over 1000 artistes including Onyeka Onwenu, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Dele Bamigboye, Kefee (“Thank You My God”), Tosin Martins (“Olo mi”) Segun Obe (“Celebrate”), The Jewels (Star Quest 2007 winner), Ara, Pastor Aity Inyang, Lara George (“Ijoba Orun” and the self titled album), Tim Godffery and Xtreme Crew, Silver Saddih, Chrysolite (South Africa) and list goes on.

Contemporary Christian music artist: Aaron Shust spoke of his son's healing

Aaron Shust grew up in the church, first singing on Sunday nights as a child and later in the adult choir. He later served as a worship leader in a Georgia church. Today the singer/songwriter is one of the top names in Contemporary Christian music. His latest album "This Is What We Believe" features the hit song "My Hope Is In You."

Q: How did you get started in contemporary Christian music?

Aaron Shust: I've been singing in church since I was 3, the music director's kid on Sunday nights, then during church services Sunday mornings, church kids' programs, then adult choir. So church music has always been a part of my life. A few years after receiving my degree in music education, I took a worship leading position at a large church in suburban Atlanta (Perimeter PCA) and began to write songs for that congregation to sing or just listen to during the offering. Eventually a batch of those songs made it into an album recorded in a friend's newly refurbished basement (Mike Shamus), and a local label (Brash) signed me to keep writing and recording!

Q: How long have you been a member of your faith?

Nigeria gospel singer: Samsong talks about his passion for Gospel music

Samson Uche Mogekwu also known as Samsong was born in Delta state Nigeria. Samsong is an award winning Nigerian gospel artist, based in Abuja, Nigeria.

Can you tell us about your self?
Am an accountant by training and by calling, am a gospel music artist. I attended Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma and I worked with a bank for sometime then I resigned from the bank and went into gospel music full time. Interestingly, am from a very comfortable home and am the seventh of nine children and I grew up knowing God. I also gave my life to Christ at age 14, 15 and since then it has been very interesting.

Who would you say influenced your growing up?
A lot of people influenced my growing up, like the late Papa Benson Idahosa. I was under his praise team for some years and watching him the way he did his things was a major influence both in my life as a Christian, and in growing up.

Also, as I grew up, I met people like Chris Oyakhilome, he’s been a great influence in my life as a Christian gospel music artist. Musically, I have people like Donnie Mcclurkin, MarvinWinans, Kenneth Smith, they have really been a great influence. I have a lot of influences I can’t start calling all the names now, but these are the basic ones.

How did your journey into the gospel music industry begin?
I started singing at the age of eight,  then I was in the Church choir, and at the age of 15, I released my first album with my church choir. In 1990, I started a group called the prince creation. It was filed under the Ivory Music Label and then in 1996 the album was released. In 2000/2001, I released my first solo album; Count Your Blessings. Two years later, I did my second album titled, Still counting, and since then, it’s been quite interesting.

What are you working on right now?
I am working on a collaborative album with one of our major gospel music artists. We are doing an album together, while  I will be working on another album simultaneously releasing singles and shooting videos. Also, I just flagged a clothing line, Boogie Down by Samsong. We make lovely shirts, we make suites and a lot of nice stuffs, I just started that like three months ago.

What’s the most outrageous experience you have ever had with your fans?
Well, I went to a school and then I was singing, by the time I finished and was leaving, the whole crowd came running after me. When I turned and saw the whole crowd running towards me, I also, had to run. It was a funny thing you know, everybody was running, it was as if the world was pursuing me. It was outrageous and it was interesting it just shows that the people liked it.

How would you describe your kind of music?
Contemporary gospel, R&B music.

Who is your favourite Nigerian gospel music artist?
Dr. Panam Percy Paul. He inspires me a lot so he still remains one of my favourites. Then internationally, Marvin Winnas.

The Nigerian music industry is not as big as the circular music industry. Why is it so and how can it be better?
We need to understand something. Our message as gospel music artists is not readily acceptable so when you say the gospel music industry is smaller than the circular music industry I do not believe that. It’s just that our message is not readily accepted.

The world wants to hear about violence, the world wants to hear about sex and all that, but we have a message, we have a

Kenny K’ore: Artist of the day

Kenny K’ore, (Kehinde Olumide Akinbode) a former member of the multiple award winning gospel band ‘INFINITY’ is a gifted and versatile singer/songwriter. With songs like Infinity’s “Olorioko” and “Aye Ole “e.t.c to his credit, he is a musician who has a rare and unique kind of creativity and artistry. No wonder he retains the motto that brought him to international recognition, “Bridging the Extremities between Art and Spirit”.

Undoubtedly, one of the pioneering gospel artistes who have continued to lend credence to the commercial evolution of gospel music in the entertainment industry in Nigeria, fusing Afro and western influences in his music. His affinity for alternative rock music, ‘afro centric vocalisms’ and strong use of the Yoruba language garnishes his sound.
Kenny K’ore believes that gospel artistes are strong tools of evangelism and that gospel music is at the forefront of kingdom expansion. He is gaining recognition quickly as the voice canvassing the need for all people to have God’s interest at heart and be actively involved in activities that promote gospel music worldwide. A notion he often stresses is that the church needs to extend her dominance, influence and impact of light, beyond the physical walls that hinder it.
