CHAPTER 2

FIRST STEPS

"LET ME HEAR IN THE MORNING OF YOUR STEADFAST LOVE, FOR IN YOU I TRUST, MAKE ME KNOW WHICH WAY I SHOULD GO, FOR TO YOU I LIFT UP MY SOUL"

PSALM 143:8

" FOR CHANGE TO HAPPEN IN ANY COMMUNITY, THE INITIATIVE MUST COME FROM THE INDIVIDUAL"

DALAI LAMA

I'D LIKE TO START THIS CHAPTER WITH THE STORY OF HOW I STARTED RELEASING MUSIC, FOR A VERY LONG TIME I KNEW I WAS GIFTED MUSICALLY BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, NOT BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH BUT I DIDN'T JUST WANT TO LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONE. YEARS WENT ON AS I KEPT WATCHING OTHER ASPIRING ARTISTES DO THEIR THING AND I WAS STILL SITTING IDLE UP UNTIL LAST YEAR, AFTER SERIES OF PERSUASION FROM MY FRIENDS, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT, WHICH LED TO ME RELEASING MY FIRST SONG TITLED HEY THERE ON THE 1ST OF JUNE, 2023. THE THING IS, I NEVER TOOK MUSIC SERIOUSLY BECAUSE HONESTLY, I DON'T LOVE IT, THE ART ITSELF IS BEAUTIFUL BUT THE OTHER ASPECTS OF IT HAS A LOT OF TOXICITY INVOLVED BUT SAY IT HOW YOU WANT, FOR SOMEONE THAT'S ONLY BEEN DROPPING MUSIC FOR LESS THAN A YEAR WITH NO MANAGEMENT OR LABEL BACKING, NO STATE OF THE ART STUDIO EQUIPMENT BUT JUST MYSELF, SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS AND THE FAVOUR OF THE LORD, I THINK I'M DOING QUITE WELL. I LIKE TO SEE IT AS A SIGN, INDEED MUCH BIGGER THINGS ARE IN STORE FOR ME

A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT'LL FOREVER STICK TO ME, HE SAID AND I QUOTE " MUSIC MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE YOUR CALLING, IT COULD BE ONE OF THE MANY GIFTS GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR DIVINE PURPOSE, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE STREAMS OR RECORD SALES, IT'S ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD

BUT BRETHREN, CHANGING THE WORLD REQUIRES YOU TAKING THAT FIRST STEP, FOR ME THAT FIRST STEP WAS ACCEPTING JESUS AS MY LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR AND LETTING HIM TAKE CONTROL IN MY LIFE. WITHOUT HIM, YOU CAN NEVER FULFILL THE PLAN GOD HAS FOR YOU. YOU NEED TO OPEN YOUR HEART AND ASK HIM TO GUIDE YOU. BY DOING SO, NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN STOP YOU.
