OLUFUNMI- Facilitator at Song Writer and Singer Seminar

2017-09-24T15:50:00.000-07:00

The gospel singer best known as Olufunmi, was first exposed to singing by her mother, who was

in her youth, an opera singer.

From a young age her gift was recognised and upon her entry into secondary school she was singled

out by the schools music teacher, Mrs. Amorelle Inanga for singing lessons. At 12 under the tutulage of Mrs. Inanga, she earned a merit in Grade 4 singing and at 13 earned a distinction in Grade 5 singing both from the Royal School Of Music in London.

Olufunmi

When she was ten years old she was exposed to the music of great jazz singers like, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen Mcrae and imediately fell in love with jazz.

All through her teenage years she was singing. Both at school events and external events. Upon her entry into University she joined a band called 'Flint', whose name later changed to 'Electric Dream'.

Electric dream focused more on pop music and two years later Olufunmi left to join a band 'Project', where she was able to fuse her jazz style with their more contemporary music.

She was with Project for six years. During this period they performed at concerts and were frequent features at 'Jazzville' run by Muyiwa Majekodunmi and ??? run by Tunde Kuponiyi. During this period she won a few awards such as 'Best Vocalist' at the Third Month University Campus Competition and the 'Baba Best Vocalist Award' for the best Jazz vocalist.

At the end of her six years with Project, she felt her Christian faith was calling her to sing gospel music. She then took a break of 13 years from the public singing arena. During this period was married to Diran Olajoyegbe and had two sons.

She also used this time also to write several gospel songs and in the year 2000, she embarked on recording her first gospel album 'Go Quick', which was released on April 1st 2001. In 2004 she released 2 more albums, 'Gbemidele' and 'Say J'.

Taking another 13 year break, she then released her fourth album 'You Alone' on the 2nd of April 2017.

Though Olufunmi's stye can be described as somewhat 'eclectic', there is a current of the jazz feel running through her music.

During her music career, Olufunmi has performed on 4 continents at numerous concerts, programs and churches. Winning several awards on the gospel scene. She has also featured in a few musicals on the platform of SPAN, SOD and Gbenga Yusuf's; 'Era of Legends'.

Anthony Livingstone - Facilitator at Song Writer and Singer Seminar

2017-09-24T15:49:00.000-07:00

Anthony Livingstone is a songwriter, musician, author, and blogger.

From childhood I have always had a vivid imagination, painting hypothetical scenarios that I saw with my mind’s eye that eventually led to my writing them down. I began writing short stories in this manner and graduated to full-fledged novels, from where I began to try my hand at screen play writing. I am often inspired by novels I have read, movies I have watched or scenes from my past experiences.

Anthony Livingstone

I started serious writing after reading Frank Peretti’s novel – PIERCING THE DARKNESS. One of my favourite scenarios before reading his book was about battles between Angels and Demons, because I had read JR Tolkien’s Trilogy – LORD OF THE RINGS; so I felt that instead of having battles between elves and orcs, why not have between angels and demons? That was how I began reading as many of Frank Peretti’s books as I could find. He is my mentor.

PARTING WORDS…

In life, one should always find what one is not only good at doing, but also what actually holds one’s attention for forever…something you never get tired of doing…something that can never bore you…and even if you can’t practise whatever it is full time because you can’t find the right kind of job in it…it will always be there for you not only to ease off the pressures you will face in life, but also to give life meaning and purpose.

The Vision!

2017-09-23T06:39:00.000-07:00

Music fuels the mind and thus fuels our creativity. A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations. The greatest minds and thinkers like Albert Einstein, Mozart, and Frank Lloyd Wright all had something in common in that they were constantly exploring their imagination and creativity.
Music is universal, there are no boundaries to understanding music.

No one really knows where Music came from but one thing is certain music predates the existence of Mankind, Meaning that it comes from Our Creator. God Himself. Most people simply know that certain lucky individuals are born with a Talent for music and that's the main factor in how well they perform or write it.

Music has traditionally played an important role in African culture. It is essential in representing the strong African heritage and its importance can be seen in many aspects of our culture like Traditional marriage rites, Naming ceremonies,Religious and other Sacred Tribal events etc

The Nigerian music scene has become vibrant and evolved from what it used to be in the past. In Nigerian cities, especially in Lagos, whose 21 million inhabitants can hear popular songs in the form of mobile phone ringtones or blaring out of speakers on the private transit buses, known as danfos, that are ubiquitous. Even the numerous lyrics that we hear being blasted via our airwaves, most of which are disjointed and lack proper structure, talk less of passing across valuable information, are usually laden with sexual undertones, luring our youths into various forms of atrocities.

Should Entertainment be devoid of values? Absolutely not!

In July 2016 a book was written by a Nigerian Author, Adebimpe Afolabi, titled Melodies from Heaven. It is a book on the Art, Act and Heart of song writing. The foreword of the book was done by two of her Mentors, Wale Adenuga and Kunle Pinmiloye (Ksticks).
This book teaches song writers to write responsively, by passing across a definite valuable message to the hearers constructively.

Bimpe started her music career at Powerline Bible church as a Choir member and later a Soloist. After which She joined the Fountain of praise choir, headed by Wale Adenuga in the 90's, where She was a worship leader. It was here that She had the rare privilege of Ministrying with Bob Fits during one of Wale Adenuga's and Fountain of Praise concerts.
She later joined Christ Chapel Abeokuta choir (The Levites) when She gained admission into Ogun state polytechnic abeokuta to study Masscommunication, and eventually became the President of the Campus fellowship.

The ondo state born Ministrel has always had a flair for writing songs but her major break came when the Lord inspired her to write the song “ Hosannah ta lo da bi re” a Yoruba song that means “ Hosanah, who is like unto thee”.
The song came has a result of the challenge She was going through then as a student, way back in 1995, She needed God to intervene in her academics. So while preparing to go to the Redemption camp, She knelt down to pray, and that was how the melody for the song came. She quickly recorded it in the little midget She used to have in those days. She later taught her choir, “the Levites” of Christ chapel churches Abeokuta and then Fountain of praise (RCCG).

Bimpe's first ever Album was released in 2011. Titled “Joy in the city” ,it was an audio cd. It comprises of songs that She was inspired to write, amongst which are Hosanah, joy in the city, Child of a king, Wazobia, Ose Baba, Kabiyesi etc. She recently released a single titled "Created to worship".
She has also been privileged to compose several Christmas songs, namely “Christmas in the air”, “Messiah”, “Something about Christmas’ and more recently “Silent Night”.. All these songs have been featured in the much publicized Daystar Christian center carols from 2013- 2016. All to the glory of God.

The Entrepreneur, cum Communicator who is presently studying Business Administration at the Atlantic International University Honolulu, is also a member of The Advertising practitioners council of Nigeria , is the CEO of Melodies From Heaven. A company set up to carry out Musical activities i.e composition and production of music and organising of concerts.
She conceived this Vision to impact aspiring Song writers, while writing her book. The Song Writer Singer Seminar has been designed by Melodies from heaven concept, to train song writers and singers alike on the most effective ways of communicating valuable message via music. We aim to teach entertainment with value and structure as well as song delivery.

The vision is to eventually have a state of the art studio, where recordings can be done by the youths at a very affordable rate while also ensuring proper marketing structure and protection for their music. It has been observed that the rights of song writers are not adequately protected in this part of the world.

We are projecting to train thousands of youths and the young-at- heart (in phases) during and after the training. The first phase already kicked off in August with outstanding success.

Adebimpe is the leader of a Band called Ministers of Grace.
She is Married to Oyedeji Afolabi and they are blessed with Three Boys, David, Daniel and Derick.

TEN COMMANDMENTS TO KNOW IN TRAINING CHILDREN.

By KIKELOMO OMOOBA

Kikelomo Omooba

Commandment One
Understand that teaching the young child is a holy call of eternal value; pray for each child and ask for loving wisdom as you reach out to them.

Commandment Two
Get down at a child's eye; show love and welcome by your touch, word and smile. Teach respect by showing respect. (Your actions will teach far more than words.)

Commandment Three
Make suggestion more often than you give commands; phrase directions positively (A child must know what he or she can do in place of what he or she can not do.)

Commandment Four
Be a teacher of great vision: see the most active, the most difficult or the most withdrawn child, not as a problem, but a person to be loved into God's family ( remember and repeat often that God loves and has good plans for each one).

Commandment Five
Give acceptable choices and set reasonable limits;stick to them and keep your word when you make a promise. It is always important to the child.

Commandment Six
Realize that your interaction is always needed, even when children are absorbed in an activity. ( Stay nearby and guide conversations: listen, show love and ask open ended question to help children understand and apply bible truth.)

Commandment Seven
Be quick to see, describe and thank a child for right actions. (describing a child's action helps the child put meaning to concepts like sharing and kindness.)

Commandment Eight
Remember that young children learn by doing, and provide active ways for them to learn.

Commandment Nine
Know what typical behaviour for young children and guide the child towards desirable behaviour. (A young child is not yet able to see how his or her actions affect others.)

Commandment Ten
Remember how easily small children absorb our attitude and how watchful they are of our actions and reactions. (Our attitudes and actions will either affirm or deny the truth or our words!)

Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality and all of us are born creative. Nigeria is screaming out for creative ways to solve seemly endless problems. Creativity has to be a life style.

We usually view creativity as the work of the artists, musicians or performers only but in this generation those that will stay afloat in any profession have to be creative and open minded.

Born Of New Everlasting Spirit - J Bones.

2011-07-11T14:58:00.000-07:00

Q. May we meet you?

A. My name is Jimmy Adjoto

Q. Why the name J bones?

A. J for Jimmy and Bones – Born Of New Everlasting Spirit was derived

from the passage of Ezekiel 37 (the story of dry bones rising again. I never

knew God would grant me another chance to be back into music after over

a dozen years absent, I feel like Abraham who had a son at old age.

Q. Why did you choose to write this song “S.O.S”?

A. I was just uncomfortable with the average Nigerian mentality where we

are alright with the way things are as long as it doesn’t affect us directly

Q. Would you call your song a gospel song?

A. It is a song of prayer for my Nation, What I do is music from my

perspective. I am a born again Christian – Christ will always reflect in

ALL I do one way or the other

Q. How do you intend to make sure this message gets to the right people and

doesn’t end up only for entertainment?

A. I trust God for direction. I have loads of people who are a blessing and

have been sending it via the social media; we continue to trust that the TV

and Radio will continue with their support too.

Q. What are your plans for your music career?

A. I will keep writing, recording and touring for as long as God permits me

Q. How has it been juggling music, work and your personal life?

A. It is quite challenging at the moment as part of the fund from work goes

into music and music is starting to take some time of my family life but I

thank God for a capacity and also a fantastic and supporting beautiful

wife.

Q. What does music mean to you?

A. Music is my unseen friend that connects me to God and connects man to

Jesus through me.

Q. What does gospel mean to you?

A. Good News! We were doomed for Hell but Jesus died that we might live.

Q. Are you going to face your music career now or is it still on a part time

basis?

A. I am just letting God lead me a step at a time.

Toyin Adebola: Passionate, Powerful and Simple.

2011-06-29T12:46:00.000-07:00

Toyin Adebola

HIS love and passion for music made him set up the — Toyin and Friends, a musical group , when he came back from the United States in 2005. Born on January 11, 1969,Toyin Adebola, who is from Ogun State, had his secondary education at Government Secondary School, Gwammaja, and ended up at the Government Technical College, Wudil, Kano. His tertiary education was at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he read technical education. The Chief Executive Officer of Lakeside Energy Limited, who started his musical career as a drummer in 1990, recently organised the Toyin and Friends concert. Themed Worship Unscripted, it featured a lot of gospel artists, including Cohbhams.

Family background: I’m from a polygamous home. I’m the first born of my father. My father worked and retired as a staff of the Ministry of Education, Kano and my mother worked with The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) now called Aviance, also in Kano until she retired about two years ago.

Toyin Adebola talks about what fashion means to him and much more.

Fashion: It has different interpretations depending on who is creating it, but for me, I think fashion is an expression of who you are, well expressed in what you are wearing. I don’t go with what’s in vogue. What is in vogue for me is what I am comfortable with!

Style of dressing: English and simple; a shirt and a nice and comfortable pair of pants, that’s me! But occasionally, I do some native stuff.

Uniqueness of style: Everything about me is basically different. My carriage stands me out. I also hate conforming to what’s in vogue.

Favourite colour: I love brilliant colours, to be precise. I like black and red. I also like white and purple because they are sweet and strong. I love them combined not specific.

Favourite piece of clothing: A nice shirt and trouser. Sometimes a nice denim shirt and khaki pants

Stylish icon(s): Maxwell, he dresses so beautifully. Most times, he’s always on a nice shirt on trousers with jacket. When you see him, one has no choice but to love and respect him.

Role model(s): Rev. Sam Adeyemi, he is my ultimate role model and then musically, it’s Fred Hammond.

Favourite food: Vegetable and fruit Salad.

Favourite designer(s): Base London, because they are not the regular designers. They have very unique designs of Wristwatches and Shoes and I love them because they are not very popular. I also like Diesel.

Most expensive item: My soul!

Most cherished possession: God.

Describe yourself in three words: Passionate, powerful and simple.

Turn on: When everything is just in order

Turn off: Disorderliness and indifference.

Happiest moment(s): When I got a job in Conoil because I waited almost 15 years for that.

Embarrassing moment(s): When my visa to United States was turned down the second time.

Philosophy of life: Life is like one’s best currency. It’s ones most valuable asset, so spend it wisely, do not waste time and be as productive as you can.

If you were given an opportunity to change something in Nigeria, what would it be? Our mindset, it is terrible!

The 16th edition of Worship Unscripted with Toyin&Friends will be holding on the 31st of July, 2011 at the Balmoral, 98 Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Ikeja. The theme is "Winds of Worship" Time is 4pm prompt. Ministering includes Cobhams, Buchi, Iyke Onka, Simi, Akin Cole, Mulero, V6. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Paul Persol & The Wilderness Wailers out with "His Banner" Album.

2011-06-28T13:01:00.000-07:00

Paul Persol is a singer/ songwriter, actor, publisher, and preacher who first ventured into music in the college fellowship choir. His traumatic experience of growing up with a single father first endeared him to the deep, philosophical, and inspiring Reggae music largely commercialized by the group "The Wailers."

Persol went on to have very many stage performance experiences in dance, acting, and singing as a theatre acts student in the university. After graduating, he went into advertising and rose to the position of director and copywriter in Leo Burnett, Lagos, Nigeria office.

The first personal Reggae song he ever wrote hit him on his way back home one afternoon, and since then, he has written over 30 top quality songs by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He has written many unpublished books, one of which was published by Authorhouse, UK, entitled: "Woman, you Need to Hear This." Persol is still building his group "The Wilderness Wailers."

'His Banner' confidently marks the inspiring debut from Paul Persol & The Wilderness Wailers. For more info, visit:
