However, I had a different view about the scenario and at that spot I told God that if it is His will, He should give me the grace to transform the song to a gospel song, because there are some aspects in the song that do not glorify God. I received the inspiration on the midnight of the third day of my experience at the garage. The amazing thing is that I did not buy that cassette, but the little I heard was what I worked upon.
The outcome of this was what brought me into the limelight. How have you been able to manage your band'It is through divine grace. I am very strict and do not tolerate nonsense. I made my band members realise that this is not a band but a ministry. Anything is allowed in a band, but when it has to do with a ministry, it is operated like a church and according to God's will.
I thank God that it has been one big family. I am proud to say it to the whole world that none of my band members and myself go on stage under any influence whatsoever. In fact, I take it to the extent that they don't marry each other. I ensure I know everyone's spouses to discourage fornication. If for example, we travel to perform and there are no enough rooms and they all have to sleep in a particular room, I know I am safe.
Why do you like putting on big hats and high heels'It is my style and I really love it. My gowns are always long and very bogus, so, I need something that will raise me. It is not that I am particular about hats; it depends on what I am wearing. The truth is that I have them in sizes. You were once accused of witchcraft following your sudden rise and you have not reacted to the allegation.
What could have prompted such'Don't let us forget the fact that we are in Yoruba land. Also, when people have done a particular research on you without reaching a compromise, they give you a name and begin to ask questions such as 'when did that little girl arrive''; 'where is she coming from'' and all sorts of insinuations. I was named 'a rain that fell without any sign'.
I simply let God's will come to pass and to the glory of God, I will celebrate my fifteenth year since I started music professionally, alongside my 40th birthday, later in the year. Since Senwele Jesu brought you to limelight, is that your favourite album'It is not my favourite, but it was the one that brought me into the limelight. In fact, I have not done my favourite; I am still trying to give my best to produce my most loved song.
To the glory of God, I have eight albums and none of them are my favourite.

How have you been able to balance being a wife, mother and musician'I thank God I married my friend and as a mother, my children are so dear to me. I don't do anything to jeopardise them of their education or well being. In fact, I don't have a maid. The beneficial aspect of it was that it gave us some beneficial time to move closer to God, to think deeply even about ourselves, rebrand and look at the way forward.
It gave me the opportunity to plan for the next years if Christ tarries for myself, family and ministry. For someone like me who was always on the road, I had a beautiful time to spend with my family. What are the lessons you think we should all learn from this experience? Personally, I have discovered that whenever God says yes, nobody can say no.

This is somehow natural and we cannot change it but we are expecting the hand of the Lord to bring a solution as soon as possible. The other one is that it really gave me the opportunity to know my children better.
I have been able to discover somethings about them that I have kept at heart so that I can nurture and guide them appropriately. It also gave me ample time to know who God is. I can see the Lord in another dimension during this period. So, I have no regrets at all sentiments apart, it made me more beautiful because I am not stressed at all. It has also improved my personal hygiene.
COVID or not, we must all take our hygiene seriously. Wow, it has been so interesting. I do tell people when you are married to your friend, the journey will be interesting. He happens to be my friend and vision interpreter. He understands this vision better than I do. So it makes the journey easier for me. He had been in the music ministry before, he plays several musical instruments.
But when we were about to get married, he said he was going to step down for me. We had known each other for some time, but we became good friends when I wanted to release the album. He helped a lot with the production. Did you marry him because he helped you with your first album? We got married because we heard from God. We were led by the Holy Spirit and it had nothing to do with talents.
How did he propose to you? He wrote a short note on a small paper. I took the paper home and I kept laughing. My sister asked me if I liked him and I told her that bukola akinade biography of mahatma was not all we needed. We prayed about it. I also told my pastor who also prayed with me. What stood out for you on your wedding day?
I was happy to see myself in my wedding dress that day. Orin Titun. Senwele Special. Sadura Dorin. High Life. Fire 4 Fire. Praise Unlimited. Gospel Extra. Senwele In Gospel. His Favourite.
