“Late July, early morning around half seven but the sunlight is already pouring, through the curtain less window as it was summer. Suddenly I felt a push to write ‘I Choose to Be Free’.

I get so inspired by the song ‘I Choose To Be Free’ as it is a song I wrote in 2011 summer  when I was in a situation I did not see coming. Then I felt unsettled with sleepless nights and cloudless mornings.

If you have come across a book titled ‘All the beggars riding’ by Lucy Caldwell, you might understand my situation.  A story about Lara and her brother that lost their father in a terrible accident and she was trying to erase the memories and get back on track.

So at that distressing time I made sure I meditated everyday on Deuteronomy 30:9 “This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death,blessings and curses. Now choose life that you and your children may live“.

Also I make the confession and declare ‘I Choose to Be Free’ every time. Then I started seeing results in my life.

Going to record the song with my producer Wole Oni in February 2013 the waiting now was like a bubble in my chest. However, going into studio was a breathless experience as I felt the hand of God on the project.”

Everyday life pastes its dulling moments and routines over the rawness. Though the rawness is there, but I strongly believe we should choose to be free from bondage, slavery, poverty, barrenness, manipulation, condemnation, retrogression, setback, affliction, oppression and everything that God does not approve of in our lives.

Yes we should shine victoriously, be above and not beneath because God has set us FREE to rule as kings and priests forever!

So this is a way of giving back what God has blessed me with and I hope the song continues to bless all my friends and fans around the world.

MASS defined as Music According 2D Streets N Scriptures is a Youth focused, Music Concert Tour to different towns, cities, schools and colleges within Nigeria , commencing from the South West.

The MISSION is to promote Godly, Righteous , Ethical And Morally Upright living within the new community of young people who are being largely influenced by technology/social media.

 The whole idea is to engage the power of music and entertainment devoid of the usual congregational outlook as an evangelism tool.
It is usually a night of great Music Performances, Praise/Worship, Comedy, Inspirational Talk/Experience Sharing By Artistes And Frontline Youth Icons In Business, Religion, Political Leadership etc. We refer to it as a night of every kind of kingdom expression.
It is our vision  to be able to storm minimum of 20 cities  annually.

The 1stEdition of MASS Concert held at Government Technical College Field, Osogbo, Osun State on Friday, 11thOctober,2013 and pulled a total of 5,868 youths while the 2ndEdition held at Oluyemi Kayode stadium, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State on Friday 31stOctober 2014 with 4,212 youths in attendance.


THE CALL
Well, I had always organized music events from my teenage years but at some point , I concentrated on production and artistry especially when I relocated my base to Lagos.
The  negative influence of secular media and entertainment among young people and its dominant influence within the church had been of great concern to me over the years .That's one major reason why my career really concentrated on TV oriented productions.
 I  couldn't do much considering the huge financial outlay required to conclude a vision from concept to reality.
On a certain day, I was about to take a trip to Federal Polytechnic Ede to minister from Lagos and decided to check my Facebook account before jetting out. I saw this fresh mail from an old friend, now a Methodist Reverend, based in Port Harcourt . He saw a vision earlier that morning. He said he saw me organizing a huge music event somewhere in Osun State, with a mammoth crowd of youths praising God recklessly. He mentioned the fact that youths travelled in from all over the south west. He saw himself fly in from Port Harcourt to attend the event.
I took it very lightly, but in the next couple of weeks, 2 friends called from different locations abroad on the need to re-ignite such outreach platforms we did together in our teenage days. Right there, I knew God was speaking and there was no hiding place for me again. I called few friends, we met, prayed, deliberated and by Saturday of that same week, we travelled down to Osogbo for the first ground breaking network.
The premiere edition of MASS at Osogbo happened exactly how Rev Femi Precious saw it.


ARTISTES
We've hosted the ministries of Segun Obe, Sola Allyson, Okiki Jesu, Provabs,  Nikki Laoye, Psalmos, TIV, Ibironke, Vivien Stephen, Nene, DBass, Okey Sokay, C-STAS, Gamie, LcBeatz, SMS  while we've hosted Joint Campus choirs from Federal Polytechnic Ede, Ekiti state University, Federal Polytechic Ado Ekiti, Osun state Polytechnic Iree as well as Community Youth Mass choirs from Osogbo, Ilesa, Ile-Ife, Ado Ekiti, Ikere Ekiti within our two years of touring.

CHALLENGES
Like every ministerial/entrepreneurial effort, FINANCE is always a key challenge. We've had to constantly battle the mindset that donations to church are superior in value than other itinerant ministries.
We have stayed committed to the vision as much as we have the wherewithal. Great attention is paid to the overall excellence and quality of sound, lights, welfare and other logistics which makes every outreach to gulp millions of naira.
God has really been faithful. Our partners too, have been very committed. The more we move from city to city, more kingdom minded people are seeing the value and are also committing more resources.

We always had to battle the usual suspicion that trails every non-church based initiative. '' like'' who are they? ''are they using us to start a church? ...hope they won't move our youths away?''etc but as soon as they see our plain intentions, we get maximum cooperation from ministries.
Other challenges are spiritual. Despite the entertainment value, the ultimate purpose and intent is battle for souls and making God more acceptable and famous on our streets and among young people. At each location, we've had to confront several ''ARRANGEMENTs'' ..lol..but God always gives the victory. Time, space and its sensitivity might not make me go into details. We've had to confronts situations within this two years whereby, all trucks bringing our equipments got spoilt midway from Lagos. Another truck conveying generating set skidded off the road into the bush . Mystery rain gathering before show time etc.

MASS 2015
This will be the 3rd Edition which we've dubbed the Trinity Edition. It will hold  in a New state and city which we are already working on. The announcement will be made in a Special Press Release. It will be a great night of Music as usual and we expect a mighty move of God once again on the street.
It will be a fresh injection of frontline gospel artistes who will be ministering at MASS for the first time, while our affiliate ministers will be back to impact life to the  thousands of young people.
MASS SQUAD which is the standing band for all the invited artistes will be expanded to accommodate more talents from the  two states we've toured to give a wider platform of expression.
We're also believing God to raise enough budget to acquire State of the Art Stage, Sound and Lighting equipment which positions us to be able to increase events frequency.
MASSGig which is the Campus based Edition of MASS will also be kick started this year. discussions are on going with several campus based groups and choirs and in subsequent months we shall be holding a smaller, more compact edition of MASS in various schools.

 

Do look out for another edition.

Why Artists Have Attitude. 
Report by Yetunde Joyce – KabiesiRADIO, Dublin.
Hello amazing people, this is a special edition. You cannot live in this world without noticing that Music is everywhere. Also I am so excited these celebrities gave me their attention during their busy schedule.
I have
Wole Oni,
Kenny Kore,
Pastor Miracle and
Pastor Thywill share their views:


WOLE ONI
Please can you briefly introduce yourself?
Wole Oni is an accomplished record producer, multi award winning producer, song writer, synthesizer, arranger, sound engineer and CEO of Instinct Productions and Wole Oni Music Production(WOMP).

Why do some people think artists have an attitude?

Some of the artists give attitude because they don't want to be taken for granted if seen too simple and accessible. However, some do it intentionally because of lack of control of stardom while some were humble before the fame and it's a problem to manage that platform and still be humble. Some are naturally cocky and proud. While few who has seen it all are yet humble and extremely friendly.

Kindly give some words of encouragement to rising artists.

Every food and perfect gift comes from above. Upcoming artists and the yet arrived artists should use his or her talent to uplift mankind and turn their talents to medium of peace, happiness, joy and love. If your talent influences people negatively, then the essence of the giver has been defeated.
Don't despise the days of little beginnings, be a solution to a problem and don't be a problem to be solved. 

KENNY KORE


Please can you briefly introduce yourself?

Hello Ms Joyce,
Thanks for your kind consideration in choosing me for the interview.
"Kenny Kore" is my stage moniker, while my birth name is Olumide Kehinde Akinbode.
I am a music minister,quite versatile in writing, producing and performing several musical genres.
My primary goal is to please GOD on and off stage. I believe that as a soul winner, my life is my message.
The name Kenny K'ore simply means "Kenny, Congratulations"! In essence, anytime the name is called, people are felicitating with me for God's goodness in my life over the years, at present, and for the future, if Jesus tarry. I was former of the multiple award winning gospel group Infinity, and have songs like Infinity's "Olorioko" and "Aye Ole" etc to my credit.
I've since my nine years exit from the group recorded a serial debut album titled," Eledumare", "Eledumare reloaded, and "Eledumare classic".
My Sophomore album was also a serial titled;"Noah", and "Noah relentless".
I am working on my third album to be out sometime before the year ends, GOD willing.
I am a husband and a father.

Why do some people think artists have an attitude?                                                                              

I believe that artist are first human beings, and they are flawed in character like any other human being. However because they're in the limelight, their failures are projected more than others.
Bad news sells, so you're likely to hear more bad news about artist than good ones.
That's me playing the devil's advocate. I believe that the onus lies on public figures like known musical artists, especially gospel artists, to stand up to the challenge of their chosen professional, and be amiable role models, practising what they preach.

Kindly give some words of encouragement to rising artists.

My counsel to rising musical artist is to do it for the love.
Most often there would be challenges on the way.
The road to the top is not easy.
Money shouldn't be there objective even though money is vital.
Do it for the love of the art
Love of the people
Love of GOD.                                                                                                                                  Shalom


PASTOR MIRACLE

Can you briefly introduce yourself?

My names are; OYENEYIN MIRACLE OLAMIDOTUN. I am a Nigerian based in Vienna Austria.
I am a musicologist by training and a minister by calling.
By God's grace a multi instrumentalist.
Why do some people think artists have an attitude?
There is no single answer to this question because there could be many reasons for this perception.
Not all artists  have this problem, however it is safe to say many do.
The music industry is a lucrative one especially when an artist has gotten the breakthrough, hence fame and popularity can make an artist develop a wrong attitude .
Overconfidence in one's ability could also lead to this.
Over dependence on the talents of an artist is also a factor.

Kindly give some words of encouragement to rising artists

Stay Humble
Know that Real Talented people don't really blow their own Trumpets
Empty Barrels make the loudest of noise
keep working very hard and know that it's a privilege to be able to touch many people with your gift.


THYWILL BANKOLE

Please can you briefly introduce yourself?

I am a young man who grew in the city of Lagos. I was born to the family of Jonathan Bankole and Lydia Bankole. I am a servant leader serving as the General overseer of The message Assembly Inc. and was a parish Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God – Assembly of Praise, Swords, Ireland for over ten years. Presently the CEO of THYCONSULT an international consulting firm that runs training, seminars, conferences and professional and life coaching.
My vision is for an unprecedented revival and empowerment in the world. In pursuit of this, I give insightful teachings, and motivational speech at youth conferences, marriage seminar, and leadership and business trainings. My practical contribution to the community is the voluntary role I play as the chairman to a government run initiative in Ireland (Fingal Ethnic Network).
I am trained as an accountant, a graduate of National College of Ireland. also holds a postgraduate Diploma in Theology and counselling.

Why do some people think artists have an attitude?

What exactly is an attitude? A favourite way to proceed is to present first definitions of attitude.
An attitude is a relatively enduring organisation of beliefs around an object or situation predisposing one to respond in some preferential manner.
"So if somebody does not understand something about another person they say, 'You're weird, you're different. I can't like you because I don't understand you,'" This predispositions are momentary ones, in which cases they are not really ones attitude. What people don't understand they mystify.
I have always said never say you understand what I am going through because that can only be true until you are in my shoes.  For Easy comprehension people box concept into things they know. This can be traced to the strong hunger people have for wanting to know about people, especially celebrities and artists. People judge people based on the state of their own mind. An angry person will not see good things in people, and they are easily put off.
You heard someone else's good news but quietly in your mind you wish it was you not the other person. What English word explains such feeling? Could this be jealousy or envy? If it is any of the two we are all guilty of this one time funny feeling that creeps out off its suppressed state. Reactions that follow such hidden true are usually very illusive and deceitful. So people unconsciously defer to pointing finger to the smallest iota of perceived wrong doings of other people.
Fame and success is one of the hardest things to deal with successfully. And the artists are not left out of this challenge.
Some artists do not differentiate between real life and their shows. I would not blame them because the audience never stop watching. They are as interested in their performance on stage as their marriage life, family life e.t.c.
Some artists calm to have taken their job so seriously that they take pride in keeping the acting and the artificial side effects on as long as it takes. Many of their friends can not relate with this. We could blame it on the fact that people change as their situation changes. "Is that always true?"
There is an unseen irony about forever been in the spotlight. Constant attention can be understandably frustrating and even upsetting at times. However, some celebrities handle publicity and lack of privacy with grace and respectful attitudes toward others. While some other celebrities have taken the opposite approach. These are the celebrities famous for poor attitudes, unfathomably obnoxious interviews, and irredeemable bad behaviour. Success is hard to handle for some artist especially when they don't get help. Some get caught up in having too much money and others get caught up in the stress and look for outlets.
The loneliness of an artist is a fact. This is another broad generalisation. But it is amazing how many people who seem to have it all, suffer from bouts of loneliness. As social beings, I believe people are especially sensitive to any threats to becoming ostracised. In Neanderthal times, exile meant death, so loneliness and the desire to be with other people is a strong one. It would amaze you what strange things people are willing and ready to do to fill the emptiness of their heart. I submit to you no one fills the human heart like Jesus.

Kindly give some words of encouragement to artists.

"So what do we do?"Get rid of the bad feelings. Be proud of how far God as taken you. Check out things done on your to-do list, finishing school, finishing a cd, or losing 15 pounds, you should always feel proud of your accomplishments! Self- esteem plays an important role in feeling encouraged. When you have really low self-esteem, it is much easier to be down-and-out.
Secondly do good deeds. Sometimes, when we help someone else, it makes us feel much better than if we spent an entire day at the studio! Helping other people can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from all negative thinking, thus encouraging you along the way! You may also help one person to understand you by showing an unconditional love. God bless you.
Thanks to all my Guests and I hope my Readers enjoyed all the special celebrities contribution.
