Ibadan-based fast rising sensational gospel singer, Agboola Babatunmise, CEO of MusicMe And Him, in a recent interview with De Champions.Net, spoke on his new music video which he is about to drop soon, enjoy….
When did you start
singing and did your parents support you?
I’m going to say from birth but professionally about seven
years ago and I have come to realize that your parent wouldn’t necessary
believe you when you start out, because so many times they don’t want to believe
in all those things, but the moment you start to make a living from whatever
you have chosen to do; then they tend to believe in you once you can prove
them wrong.
Do you compose your songs yourself or you have people who write for
you?
Yes, to a large extent I do write
and I have people who write for me too, as a matter of fact, thr Awimayehu
song, I wrote the first verse and my younger brother wrote the second
verse.
What should fans be expecting from the music video of Awimayehu?
We are done with shooting the
video, it is very much ready, and it will be dropped on the 27th of
March which happens to be my birthday. Expect nothing less than the best from
the video.
Some young artistes do complain about working with big artistes, while
working with Mike Abdul how did you feel?
To a large extent, Grace and Favour
brought me to Mike Abdul; I think it was a divine meeting; because the day I met
him I wasn’t supposed to meet him; and since then it has been history. it was a
big opportunity for me and a lot of
people are looking up to it. I have come to realize also that even when you
have a mentor you don’t beg from your mentor; always see how you can bring
something to the table, no matter how old or big your mentor is. Somebody said
the greater the problem the greater the solution, the greater the value, the greater the money.
Who are your mentors in the gospel industry?
I respect Mike Abdul, Gbenga Adenuga
and Monique a lot.
What should your fans be expecting from you after Awimayehu and where
do you see yourself in the next five years?
After Awimayehu, I should drop
like five or six singles this year and in the next five years, I see myself where
God wants me to be.
