"Don't join others to blow, you might find yourself helpless after explosion"_Olofintuyi Abiodun aka Ecclesiastes, Gospel Artiste

Music: Download "AAUA Challenge" by Ecclesiastes x Emmelex x Samrhymes

*     Can we meet you?

I am Olofintuyi Abiodun Ayobami, musically known as Ecclesiastes. I do gospel music most especially rap. Sometimes, I sing circular depending on the motivation and inspiration. I am an amazing graduate of AAUA from the department mass communication.

*     For you, is Music inbuilt or something you developed?

Well, music has been in me for a long time of which I later discovered when I met with friends who share the same dreams and talents with me.

*     How and When did you start as a Music Artist?

I started music when I was in secondary school. That was where I met rappers and vocalists who really inspired me and discovered me.

*     As a Music Artist that is just coming up,how has it been so far and do you just sing during your leisure hours for pleasure or you intend becoming a full-time Musician now or in the nearest future?

I do both but the most important of all is the passion. Music is not a career for me but life. It is what I do everyday and I will do it till eternity even if I am not paid for it. So, I am not moved by money. Since I found out that it's something I can but do. Music is sweet.

*     What else do you do apart from Music?

Apart from music, I shoot musical Videos, Movies, Skits and I edit them myself.

*     What perception about music generally do you want to change in this modern day society that we live in? And what innovations are you planning to bring into the Music industry?

I don't just sing, I compose based on the inspiration I get. In my world of music, I won't sing because I want people to hear and buy it but because I want them to be impacted and have a cause to change for a better living. My music will surely focus on correcting social, spiritual and mental ills.

*     What are the challenges you face as an upcoming Music Artist that you think other upcoming artists might also be facing? And what is your advice for fellow upcoming Music Artists?

The number one challenge is finance, sometimes, you are inspired to write a song but then, you find it hard to produce it. It's always painful. You waste all of the inspiration in the bathroom.
The number two challenge is that people don't want to listen to songs that impact but songs they can dance to in parties. Friends told me to switch to other genres but I said no because I am for the gospel, I am for the truth.
Advise to upcoming stars, don't be discouraged by what you see now. As long there is a mission, there is need for it to be accomplished. Be yourself and don't join others to blow because you might see yourself helpless after the explosion🕶

*     What Genre of Music do you sing? And how many singles and collaborations have you been able to pull through so far,that is, recorded,produced,promoted...

Although I have composed circular songs but my gospel songs are more. I have produced two songs. One is a circular song while the other is a gospel one, I did it with my music group known as "Team Danabell".
Then, "AAUA challenge" and "One life". I am working on a track "Grateful". It will be out soon and that will be my first single because the previous ones are mix tapes.

*     Where do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?

I would say, in the next 3 years, I see myself as a world star in the Music Industry. God showed me that_So anticipate...
